Horizons Few questions regarding interface and controls.

[H3lios]

I've searched the forums and a few of my questions were answered but not these 3 so I'm going to ask here.

1. How do I get rid of that Elite: Dangerous 2.0 watermark on the bottom left of my screen? Its really annoying and it makes it hard to read certian menu items.

2. Do I have to map my own controls for the SRV? When I launched it, I couldnt move at all and I tried everything.

3. Where do I pick up my Cobra IV? I'm an original elite player, I should have gotten it right?

1. That was a bug/over-sight, it was removed by today's hotfix
2. Yes. Took an hour to do mine last night, SRV controls are at the very bottom of the list
3. Pre-ordering Horizons got you "access" to the Cobra MKIV, you still have to buy it (after finding somewhere that sells it).

Thanks, and to follow up with my 2nd question, can I map the SRV to my Joystick without it overrideing my flight controls?

I think so. I've mapped my SRV to a joypad and it doesn't mess with my M&K controls for flying ships except...
If I choose a different headlook button in the SRV section it seems to also change the same button for when I'm in my ship. Seems like that could be a bug.

Yeah. Annoyingly they are at the bottom of the controls page. Have to scroll down each time without pgdown key working


Set the Joystic axis up for Movement pitch (up down) yaw (left right) and set twist axis for air rolls (can't quite remember what it calls it.

Imo do not set up turret view axis section (below the above movement ones) to Joystick (can't remember if it wipes out the above settings if you try?). I personally set these to the mouse. Can then turret view with what is effectively mouse look whilst still being able to move as normal with the joystick.

Try paging UP! My key bindings allow me to move up the menu, which rolls the menu back to the end in two or three button pushes. The first bump up will move you to the cancel button the next bump starts at the bottom of the huge menu.

Yes.

I use a THRUSTMASTER HOTUS and it is great for both the ship and SRV. The SRV I mapped both throttle and steering to the controls on my left hand control. The throttle works just like it does in the ship, but I use the controls I have set for my horizontal thrusters to be used in my SRV to turn it. Then I use the mouse to control the SRV turret and weapons. Works well.
