Hello everyone,

I decided to buy a program to use with my HTC Vive in the hopes of emulating VR capability in non-VR games.  The program had support for Elite Force, so I decided to try it out with RPG-X.  It works really well with RPG-X with full head tracking.

---------------------------------------------------

If you want to reproduce the environment yourself here is what you will need:
-Windows 7 or higher
-A VR Headset - Either Occulus or HTC Vive (I only have a Vive)
-RPG-X
-vorpX  http://www.vorpx.com/

----------------------------------------------

Steps you need to do:

1)  Setup your VR Headset if you have not already

2)  Ensure you have RPG-X installed

3)  Install vorpX

4)  Configure vorpX, and duplicate the Local Profile for Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force and name it something related to RPG-X

5)  Point the Local Profile for RPG-X to the RPG-X .exe

6) Launch your game

-----------------------------------------------

vorpX automatically kicks in if you have it set to Watching, and have defined a rule for the game you are wanting to use with VR. 

Here are a few screenshots:

One thing to note is that the UI adapts to where you are looking, and it might be a little more difficult to select dialogue windows.  There is a tendency for the VR experience to look in weird spots, but can be corrected with external controls (used the Vive controllers in my case)
