So...
I got a headset! Gave Elite a shot and everything was so much bigger and to scale that I just had to try XWA in VR, but I have a slight problem.
I tried adding the launcher and game .exes to the Steam library after the first attempt failed... but the issue seems to be actually starting XWA in VR mode. I would launch Alliance and get the menu, click play (or skip cutscene) or launch the game .exe itself and I would then be greeted by the SteamVR grid saying "Next Up" and the XWINGALLIANCE name. After a few seconds, the view fades and I'm back in VR home with the interesting side effect of being inside the floor. I ran the configurator to change from TrackIR to SteamVR, and confirmed this in the cockpitlook.cfg... but I can't understand why it's not launching. Did I miss a tutorial somewhere?

Yes. I'm trying to launch the game from SteamVR. It just gives up whenever XWINGALLIANCE.exe is started.
