Ctrl-B

[Noddie]

Did you know if you press ctrl-b in game it brings up some stats relating to your network connection?

Well. Mine does. Anyone know of any more little bits like this?

Frame rate is CTRL-F

 

[Nick Sticks]

Ctrl-F for frame rate.

Edit: Ninja'd and for the Ctrl-g one....

Ctrl g turns of all hud info and really get a nice lighting effect from the system.

Also good for in flight photos.

F 10 takes screen shot and ALT+F10 take high res screen shot (Alt+F10 only work in group/solo mode not while in open).

ALT+F4 prints a summary of the last 10 stations you docked into the clipboard.

No, it doesn't....

Is that EDDiscovery or similar?

zebaoth should try ctrl-alt-del during combat with other players - it kills them instantly but it only works for zebaoth, nobody else.
i might have made that up.

Back in the old days Ctrl H would bring up a help page

Did you know if you enable Ctrl-B(and you play in open) by looking at the numbers you can tell if there is a new Cmdr(or 3) about to pop up in your vicinity(or instance) ?

I didn't - but that makes sense. How do you interpret the data? - just look for spikes?

For me <CNTL>F does this because my framerate drops markedly when there's another CMDR around. The <CNTL>H datarates jumps too.

From the main menu only. Start->Solo destroys all other players and gives you their stuff.
(Okay it doesn't really give you all their stuff).

i call bluff!

Best way is to play in solo or open in an empty system,then compare. The difference is huge, like from 100s of bytes per second to suddenly 30k/s

sry i just double checked its CTRL+ALT+G which hides all the HUD information.

While we are throwing shortcuts around. Here is one for the forum: Ctrl + W
It closes the current tab. Handy for pop ups. Not that FD uses them.
