Elite: Dangerous

[mondo]

I wouldn't bother with a box to be perfectly honest... what decade are you living in Wappy? It's all about teh digitalz downloadz

What is this box item you speak of?

 

[Wapwap]

And the e-mail you received is exactly why I really like the team behind this game. They actually care about their game and their fans. A rare thing these days!

Yes, I was happily surprised as well when I got the e-mail. Especially since I made a ticket on Sunday about this and up until now they didn't reply yet. This however made it all good

I guess he figures if he puts lipstick on it he can call it his girlfriend.

I suppose you all read this on the forums?;

Hi guys,

This is just a quick update to confirm that there won't be a wipe at launch.

 

[Produx]

I suppose you all read this on the forums?;

Hmm nope, missed that but I know what I'll be doing this weekend Seeing how much it's going to rain I will just be forced to play games, bah!

 

[little P]

Yup, and Gamma 2.0 coming in about half an hour... I'll be spending time with Elite this evening

I'll idle in Teamspeak later if anyone wants to join in let me know, and I'll stream it too

 

[Shilka]

Well, my hotas is in, just tested it a bit ingame. Basicly I need to relearn controlling my ship from scratch XD I also need to come up with some good controll settings... and then, heaps of practice...

 

[Produx]

Great! Which HOTAS did you order, Shilka ?

 

[Shilka]

the 50 euro thrustmaster one, didn't want to invest too big... At least I'm flying again... Docking is still a bit iffy, just did the tutorials, and the dogfighting is definately easier when it comes to sustained turning etc. Still lacking a lot of precision though, but I'm still alive and haven't crashed yet XD

 

[little P]

Nice Shilka Hope you get on alright with it. Has it got an 8 way control on the stick for the thrusters? I find that really handy for docking.

Where in the galaxy is everyone right now?

I'm currently hopping around near the Delta Pavonis system trying to make enough for a Cobra MKIII.

I must say the route planning functionality they added in Gamma 2.0 is absolutely brilliant

 

[Shilka]

I set up all the thrusters yeah, did someregular play earlier and I survived XD

 

[D.O.A.]

Well , i gave in ...
I was holding out for Star Citizen , but that releases somewhere in 2016 (once that releases though i will be switching over !!!).
So i opted for elite , and seeing quite few of you allready playing it , that made the choice a little easier .
Even got me a fancy joystick too (tried the demo with mouce and keyboard ... lets just say it didnt go well....) .
So yeah , health is back on the rise too , ( I can use my vocal cords again yay !! ) so i guess i'll see you all on the 16th .

i do like them brackets dont i ......

 

[little P]

Nice! Should be able to get a nice squadron of us together

Put your CMDR name in this thread DOA when you get it all set up and I'll add you. :icon_cool:

Glad to hear you're feeling better too

 

[little P]

From the FD forums... .very cool

I have found a way to change the HUD in game...
(DEVS if your not happy with this then please lock the thread or remove it!)

PLAYERS! this is AT YOUR OWN RISK! ALWAYS KEEP A BACK UP OF THE ORIGINAL!!
if you encounter issues then restore your backup and test again! don't bug the DEVS with issues that might be caused by this tweak! if you lose the backup the ORIGINAL settings are those listed below!!

if your happy to do a little tinkering to have a play here is how to do it:
first locate your GraphicConfigeration file:
mine is located here:
E:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002
NOTE: your file "might" be located in your appdata folder depending on your installation:
C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Frontier_Develop ments\ Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1001
right click the file and choose OPEN WITH then NOTEPAD.
now scroll down a locate this section:
<GUIColour>
<Default>
<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
<MatrixRed> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0, 0, 1 </MatrixBlue>
</Default>

you are going to edit the numbers between the MatrixRed, MatrixBlue and Matrixgreen sections.

edit them somewhere between 0 and 1...so 0.33 is fine etc

My settings are;



<GUIColour>
<Default>
<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
<MatrixRed> 0, 0.33, 0.75 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixBlue>
</Default>
<RedToBlueTest>
<LocalisationName>RedToBlueTest</LocalisationName>
<MatrixRed> 0, 0, 1 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixBlue>
</RedToBlueTest>
<DesaturateTest>
<LocalisationName>DesaturateTest</LocalisationName>
<MatrixRed> 0.33, 0.33, 0.33 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0.33, 0.33, 0.33 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0.33, 0.33, 0.33 </MatrixBlue>
</DesaturateTest>
</GUIColour>

Gives a nice cool blue HUD

This is awesome, was getting sick of the orange

Lots of config files here for all kinds of different colours

This one is awesome, pure white with blue highlights, I love it

<MatrixRed>1, 1, 1 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> -1, -1, 1 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0, 0, 1 </MatrixBlue>

 

[D.O.A.]

Installing right now , 10 minutes till launch .

 

[little P]

I'm expecting disconnects and issues as per usual with game launches, but I'll still be giving it a go later at some point.

I'll be wiping my save and starting from scratch just to get the full experience and reset any reputation etc.

Looking forward to it, the Beta has been a fun ride and it's nice to feel like you have influenced certain aspects of the game, which we most certainly did

Shame they couldn't fit in wings and planetray landings, but it's all on it's way so lots to look forward too

 

[D.O.A.]

Well just finished setting up the controlls , gonna practice a bit(lot) before i take the plunge .
In game name is D.O.A. )weird huh ? )
