Hi @Paul_Crowther just a quick question, on legacy here but lost the ability to see paintjobs on Legacy or access the livery on station or FC ? Has the update affected legacy ? In any way ?
Yes I know legacy isn't getting work done But this only happened . Many thanks

Legacy is unaffected by Live/4.0 updates so I would suggest reaching out to our support team.

Thanks Paul I thought so but just wanted to make sure

I think we should wait a little longer for the Vacuum Tubes to warm up inside the server.

 

[GroG79]

Some servers still starting?

 

[WILLIAM BILL ADAMA]

Now! (But sadly I can't modify new FSD.)

Well that was quick, game is up and running for me though not checked anything other than it starts yet.

Something else that was in the U18 download ready to be enabled by a subsequent patch.

"Preparing Planet Generation..."

This happens every update and the "warming" phase goes through its motions.

Does this mean there is always an update to graphics somehow? Just curious.

The actual d/l and install was really quick

I'm still updating as I write but in the middle of stuff right now re what I'm doing in the galaxy, so I don't think I'll be in any hurry to fit any new friendship drives. I'm also a coward so I'll wait a bit to see what other CMDRs think of it.

Super. Cruise. Overcharge.

Once again, the "Check for Updates" function in the new launcher does nada.

There is no client side update

This should make Buckyballing interesting... Though from what I hear about the class 7 drive, it's a good thing we also have bonuses in some races for the amount of heat % attained.
This might break the record of over 5300%

Picked one up too and acceleration does seem quicker. Range as you'd expect is terrible, though I was hoping it would be engineerable to be passable at least. Does your post mean it's not worth the trip to see an engineer (I no longer have FSD blueprint set for remote engineering)?

 

[Jack Brolin]

Ouch that jump range, and no engineering


But wheeeeeee overdrive babyyyyyy! It's like turning FA off in SC, gets very hot and burns insane amounts of fuel, it's wild

Funny, coz I certainly had them install on Epic, Steam and FDev “native” installs of the game. Small ones, mind.

Yeah it's a real kick in the pants!

A new generation of terrible jump distance. Think I'll stay old school. I can't personally think of much use for it.

Edit: Hmm, Short runs in open with a Type 9 Heavy I guess. Yep, that's all I can think of

Edit 2: Oh, also bulk pirate assassination missions
