Hello!
I have a few questions:
1) Is there a way to make it so the menus while piloting appear in front instead of to the side? It's a pain to have to turn around to access the panel, and even more of a pain to click the lower-right buttons. I would love if there was a way to make them appear at the center of the screen like when walking on a station.
2) Is there a mission guide for VR somewhere? From what I've read the missions greatly differ from the normal non-VR game, so the guides won't be useful.
3) I "failed" one of the initial missions.... the plot told me to accept a xenon buildup mission, but when I arrived the ship I was supposed to protect was at like 5% hull and died. I was expecting to see the "wait for further xenon information" plot mission to appear, but played for about half an hour and it did not... (about 3 hours now, and no way to continue the plot... help?)
4) Is there a way to un-assign controls? In particular the "hold left thumb rest to recenter view" is very annoying, since I have big thumbs and always end up pressing it by mistake.
5) Is there a way to make cockpit interfaces clickable-through? They always get in the way of targeting/docking, and I end up opening the side panel instead of what I wanted to do. (edit: Minimized this problem by switching cockpit designs)
Thanks in advance!
menu help, mission help and maybe campaign guide?

Trying to answer some questions:
1) In the normal X Rebirth, there's an option called "Menus" (I think) under Options -> Game Settings to change the right hand menu to the HUD menu. I'm not sure if this is available in XR VR too, but it's worth a check.
2) Where did you read that? Afaik only the tutorial plot and a couple of generic missions were added. The other generic and side missions should be the same. See also the XR VR FAQ at the top of the forum.
4) You should definitely be able to remap that option to a different key. See also this post by rboerdijk. I'm afraid I don't know what the delete button on any of the VR controllers is. On a keyboard it would be 'Delete' (Del). Alternatively, you could go into the inputmap.xml (within "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Egosoft\X Rebirth VR\[Steam ID]" or "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Egosoft\X Rebirth VR" for the Occulus version) and delete the key manually.
5) No idea. My best guess would be to have a look through the options menu.

3) I think there were some reports about this already. See this thread and the replies by Xenon_Slayer on pages 2 and 3.Here is a quick list of some of the more obvious differences:
- The universe was modified. This affects the density of stations, the highways and many other things.
- There is no external camera: XR VR Edition is always played from cockpit perspective or 1st person on platforms.
- Platform gameplay is reduced: While you can still leave your ship and walk around stations, the need for this is much reduced.
- New missions and tutorial
- The X Rebirth original plot is replaced by a tutorial to learn the game and a series of missions. The later storylines from X Rebirth 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 including the addition of SETA, jumpdrive, weapon mods and much more are all included too.

Hello and thank you for your reply!
2) From the section you mentioned "- The X Rebirth original plot is replaced by a tutorial to learn the game and a series of missions.", and I've searched for mission guides, and they have nothing similar to what I've done so far.
So far, always as per PLOT missions, I've:
I'm not even sure if the "plot" missions have ended yet, or of there is more at all, I have nothing pending on the missions list (normally I would get a "wait for news" plot mission).
3) About that... I think my game bugged, so I started another one and progressed to that point. It did indeed game me several impossible missions (a couple auto-failed, a third failed 20 seconds after accepting it), but I kept reloading to before accepting the mission and waiting for their timeout until I got the last one I described in the spoiler above. Will still read the post you linked!
4) Thanks, I will try using the keyboard for that, if it doesn't work Ill tweak the XML.
5) I ended up switching to a different cockpit and its better now!

Spoiler
Show
Tested the controls
Upgraded a long range scanner
Found and opened a lockbox
3 xenon plot fight missions
Lastly I "captured" a xenon "I", which later jumped out, and I somehow (I guess as reward) got a big freighter.
