Galaxy map routing too slow? Elite Copilot has quick routing and voice navigation!

[video=youtube;YbJ5zdB0syc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbJ5zdB0syc[/video]

Dissatisfied with waiting for the Galaxy Map to calculate longer routes for you? There's an app for that! ;)


Elite:Copilot will find routes within 1-2 seconds even if you travel 200+ LY. It will guide you to your destination using spoken instructions, and you can tell it to route you around locked systems. It will also dynamically find new routes in case you're taking a detour.


Like the facebook page to stay up to date about the tool: https://www.facebook.com/EliteCopilot?ref=hl



To get set up, you need 3 things:


1) Download it from https://app.box.com/s/2k73xd3jj6wn6unyb7gi - EDIT: DROPBOX mirror: http://goo.gl/uFUSoS


(You should get the .exe, the systems.json, and speech.ini if you want to set a custom system voice like Ivona if you have it)


You can put the files on your desktop or whereever, and then run the executable by double clicking it.


2) Set netlog path


Click the "set netlog path" button in the tool, and navigate to your E:D/Products/FORC-FDEV../Logs folder and select any of the netlog*.* files in there. You only need to do this once.


3) AppConfig.xml


Before you start E:D, you also once need to change an option in your AppConfig.xml file in your Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002 directory. In the Network section put a new line with VerboseLogging="1" . That will have E:D write your current system into its log files so that Elite Copilot will know where you are in the galaxy.


It should look like this: http://i.imgur.com/kxlNwTb.jpg

I can`t download it. I`m pressing download and nothing happens. From what I have read from forums box.com has an bandwidth limitation that reset itself at begining of every month. Many users can`t download files because of this. Maybe better dropbox ? I have registered but still can`t download.

It looks fantastic, but the download site doesnt seem to work for me. It needs registering and is not sending the confirmation mail afterwards. Any chance for alternative download site?

Anyway, +1.

Edit: nope, found the mail in the spam, registered, logged in. The files are not downloading...

Downloaded it yesterday and found it very useful. Due to a misguided attempt to upgrade my FSD, I had to clear my save and start again. I didn't have a clue where I was in relation to where I was before the clear, but thanks to this I'm well on my way back to where I want to be!
 
Youtube video was removed by owner. Download doesn't work.

Ugh, the video should still be there, I didn't touch it - it still opens for me as well. Can you check again?

I also set up a mirror on dropbox here: http://goo.gl/uFUSoS - box seems to have issues for a lot of people :(

Sorry that box is being a d***. I set up a mirror on dropbox here: http://goo.gl/uFUSoS.
 
Does it work without the Voice ?

Are you referring to the voice input or voice output? It works without the input for sure, you can use the buttons in the app window to trigger the functions that I triggered using voice commands in the video. Also, I'm using a free VoiceAttack alternative, called Vocals.exe: http://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDanger...cals_open_source_and_free_voice_attack_clone/

If you're referring to the output, you could simply turn the app's volume to 0 using Windows' sound mixer. ;)
 
A couple of comments...

a) It doesn't work for me... each and every route I try to plot: System Unknown -> System Unknown -> 10.0
b) the windowsize is fixed... please let it be flexible
c) blue letters on a black background... ouch. Long time since I found a developer with this choice !

nice try, but I don''t see any use in it as it is now

All of those issues should be fixed with 0.27 which will be out in a couple hours:

a) As soon as a system isn't in the EDSC database, this will occur. unfortunately, it will leave the "--> system unknown" comment in the route window, and will try to use that as the destination next time unless you change it. Next version will have drop-down boxes to select your destination instead, so that won't happen anymore.

b) There will be an ini option to make the window size flexible: Ini setting is: Resizable_window=True

c) The darkish blue on black was not ideal. I've brightened it up by a lot so it should be easier to read. I'd be happy to hear about other colors that go with E:Ds colour scheme but aren't intrusive so immersion suffer as little as possible when tabbing to the app!
