PhilG11: OK, solved that as well it's F to select menu items (of course it is.....). Once your in it's Q and E to navigate between tabs in menus, F to select and cursors to select anything else (perk upgrades etc.) Oh, except for the ship unlock tab, you need A and D to scroll through those.
When you're actually in flight, it controls much as in non-vr, with the annoying exception that your recticule is locked meaning it's actually harder to hit targets. Full VR support....love it.
There is a setting in the gamepad controls options called "Aim using headtracking" which should unlock the crosshair!
In regards to all posts here: The VR mode of Everspace currently only supports Gamepads as input method, but we're working on mouse support for a future update. Really sorry for not posting here earlier, I and some others were not aware that there is a game-specific forum on GoG.
