Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 7 Notes

I'm not that lucky 😭
 
As expected, no improvement in performance on the ground.
20-22fps average moving around at a ground settlement, with a few dips down into single digits.
Basically not playable for anything other than walking around and taking screenshots of pretty views, which basically sums up my Odyssey experience so far - pretty views and nice screenshots, no game play.

Also my on-foot controls got wiped but my ship controls seemed to all be intact still, so that's different.

The shadows in the cockpit are flickering like crazy, and look very low res ( might be my settings as I probably turned shadows to try and get playable frame rates ).
I only play at 1080p so the CAS stuff does nothing for the frame rates, it just makes the text look a lot worse.

So 4 months and 2 days since the release and it's still not actually playable. On a PC that I can play Cyperpunk 2077 at 1080 and get an average of 45 FPS.
For the CAS you need to lower supersampling under 1 to get better performances.
In update 5 i was subsampling to 0.85 with CAS and it wasn't bad, still have to try in upd7
 
Tested the Plasma accelerator damage seems normal on my end, but the plasma accelerator shots looks so dim and toned down now compared to before, its just like a tine star far away when shot :(
It has always been looking crap in Odyssey compared to Horizons, for all I can tell (from odyssey vids).
They still could not fix it apparently. Which is kind of stupid tbh, have they lost the Horizons source code? Or maybe their Ctrl, C or V key is broken?

Not sure if new in Update 7 but couldnt find a similar issue in the tracker:

Oden Geiger does not apply the Night Vision mod to a suit. When clicked on "confirm" nothing happens. I tried relogging etc. I had all the materials etc: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/42850

Anyone else having this issue?

Seems someone has just reproduced the issue with the following comment "No engineer mods can be applied for suits and weapons at all."

If true maybe this issue is one to have a closer look at @sallymorganmoore
 
Is it me, or is the interdiction animation missing? Meaning the recital that shows up around where you need to target.

It appears that emissive sources have individual profiles made for them - PAs, Rails, Emissive Bobbleheads, some skins... All dead dull in Odyssey!

@sallymorganmoore - can you spot the difference? Guess which is Odyssey ;)
(These, like ship skins, are all cosmetics that are purchased from the store - and are not just pennies to buy - they have not survived porting to Odyssey, which is not encouraging!)
