You need to git gud in forum PvP.
One does not simply come in here, post a CAPITAL LETTER two sentence spite thread and get away with it :p

I am in no position to judge this, but I know a guy you need to watch out for

Yes, indeed, no mention of how many millions of hours they've played, how many dollars they've spent on paintjobs, no 'game is doomed', no 'nobody plays this game any more', no 'multiplayer is like pulling teeth' and no mention of steam reviews or other space title that they're leaving us for.

Very poor show. :)

All I wanted to Know was how to target the FOUND mission objectives. NOTHING tells you.

Searched Google and DuckDuckgo nothing but references to the Wave Scanner SRV.
I had three Black Box missions. and Three assassination ones.

I called the Beta up when it came out did not like the look of the new system. But I was also in the middle of Checking out FS2019 (modding it). The X4 Foundations came out. (been waiting for that since announcement) He Space Legs. Building stations....

But Dangerous is a alternative for other things. So re-installed it yesterday and Guess what CONFUSION reigns.

Now all I want to know is how to get these Mission targets back.

Read the mission description. It tells you how to get them.
 
Thread number 6,435 that simply proves this game was never going to suit everyone's taste. Something most of us knew from day 1. Hope you enjoy playing something else OP.

Ah point taken. Yes the problem I have is they i.e Frontier should be adding meaningful gameplay. What it seems to me is they is adding Frilly bits around the edges. Excepted I do not do Person V Person. Which is what this game is really designed for PARTICIPATION. Sorry I am not a good team player.

Too old and set in my ways.
 
So, how many bindings do you have?

Took me all of 3 minutes to map mine.

Then on first opening the FSS, you get guide.
I think you can still get mission USSs from the nav beacon anyway.

Plus, there's plenty of online resources showing you exactly what to do, for those unwilling to even try.

The problem is I have to work out what switches and controls i want to allocate to the management.

I use another program which I wrote to control mapping of the switches on the controller.

Like Switch 28 makes the system go into mode combat mode. But that switch in another mode does something different.

I had to modify the scripts to accommodate all the changes.

There are about 60 Buttons and switches not including the analog Parts, of which there are 6 Axis.

Yes it is Custom design.
 
Well I am a bit of a troublemaker so sorry about that. My problem is I installed E.D. last evening to do a demo for my friends. Yes the controls need configuring. That was Embarrassing and I was Cross. Please excuse my rantings but still having issues with system telling me that Mission Objectives are available but cannot see them in the Navigation windows?

You used to get Blue highlights in the Navigation console. That is the Left Hand TAB Navigation Option.

Played a bit today. Sometimes that appear and sometimes not.

So is this Old Git missing something?

See, this is something we can help you with.
If you are looking for mission objectives, you have still several options. There are now two modes of your basic HUD. The old orange one with "round hardpoint brackets" in front of you is now called Combat mode and it's for shooting guns. There is a new mode that has blue HUD with straight brackets that is specifically for scanners. You have to bind a button or a key to switch between them. It's called "Switch HUD mode" - last entry in the "Mode switches" section of Controls settings.
So if you want to scan a system, switch to the scanner mode and honk your discovery scanner.
Then turn on the FSS.
You will need to bind several buttons or axes to control it. Its bindings section is second to last in the Controls.
You will need to bind:
Enter FSS mode and Exit FSS mode - it can be the same key or button.
FSS yaw and pitch control - you can bind it to the joystick axes or keys/buttons and you'll use it to look around.
Absolute tuning - again, you can bind an axis or +/- keys and it's used to tune into the signals you see in the bottom of the FSS screen
Zoom in to target - when you are pointing at a signal (blue blob on your screen) use the tuning until the middle of the target reticule turns into a full circle, then use the zoom to look at the target and automatically scan it.
Zoom out - to return

The signal line (bottom centre of the creen) is divided into sections, depending on what type of signal you are looking for. Planets are around the centre, gas giants are to the right and signal sources are on the left.
So if you're looking for a signal source, tune into the signals and pan around the system to find them. Your mission SS should be among them.
You can also simply fly around and wait until it appears, of course or scan the Nav Beacon like before. It should still work and point you towards the right planet.
 
Had that issue last night whilst mining, the msg should only appear whilst in supercruise. I'll bug report it.

Oh dear It looks like a Bug does it. Thanks for doing the report.

Now we just need a mod to delete this useless thread....

If I had the authorisation I would.

So lets try and do something constructive not destructive.

What would we like to see added. The Mining looks like it maybe worth another look.

Why Not have sub missions where after killing the Pirate Lord you get a real reward for helping the ship in the same instance which is calling for help. Like sending repair Bots to help or refuel limpets?

What do you all think ?
