Console Update
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
Might be time to pull an FDev and stop further development on this console thread....or you are all boomers that simply don't like change
Every sport evolves and progresses with time and technology.
(BTW I've not watched F1 since the late 90's / early 00's)
But anyway, maybe it's time to get back on topic, if that's even possible at this stage.
In the words of Dr. Evil, "How about, No, ya frickin' weirdo!"
Or moreso, in my own words, you misspelt, "restart development of the console versions" there!"
.(Also it's weird that "'" rightly isn't censored by the swear filter, yet our playful innocent Irish F word parody which we say in front of the politest of company is marked as cursing and I can't type it!

If you are being prevented from typing some variant spelling of a swear word or obscenity such as or , that must be down to you I have no problem typing them. Obviously the software rightly censored them so they never leave the draft of the post to reach the forum but I could and did type them.In the words of Dr. Evil, "How about, No, ya frickin' weirdo!"

I will be watching the Console to PC transfer with interest.
If they are doing total transfers (ARX, paintjobs, decals..), I would like to request that for us that have made the jump and still maintain an active console account (which I play from time to time as a Pirate) to have some of our paintjobs/decals transferred over as well.
Quite honestly, I only want my DW2 Decal which I earned on PS4.
Do I believe it is sad that the development for Consoles can go no further but I have expectations that this will give FDev to pool all their resources to maintain the game with better focus.

The swear filter is quite powerful on this site and though it might let you type actual curses or false positives, it's rather annoying and quite sneaky in that if something triggers it, even a false positive just as the particular word I referred to, instead of warning you that it thinks or knows a particular word is a curse or otherwise offensive, it simply deletes the word, even the space it took up, so it can be hard to see it's done anything unless you carefully proofread your posts...
Long story short, the word I'm referring to is wrongly censored....
edit - actual frickin' is allowed, which I seemingly typed last night, yet typing two "gg's" in between the two "i's" instead as I accidentally typed just now without thinking did trigger it!
I never realised there was a difference before.
(To me these are two false positives, but anyway it is what it is and as said the swear filter here in o.p.
.All I want it to do is warn us when it is being triggered and we can use alternate "safer" words, to be clear I'm not advocating swearing, more so legitimate and correct use of the filter
.)As I alluded to, the swear filter isn't always right, maybe only 90% of the time and many are prone to the "Scunthorpe" problem, if you know what it is
.Anyway, getting back on topic...
I'm hoping Frontier either says, "sorry everybody, this early April Fools joke has gone on long enough!" and they restart console development.
Or maybe more realistically, this short "change of focus" was enough for them to optimise Odyssey and or they realise how big a mistake that they made and either restart console development with their existing staff or hire more people

Weird, i find Odyseey planets so much better - the only thing i miss from Horizons Planets is the fact they had way more dramatic terrain features (more often finding deep canyons or higher mountains) than Odyssey planets.
Make sure you dont have Checkerboard enabled - U11 added this new option for gfx settings and might come as enabled in certain setups
We gotta string it along a bit further, not give them an update as to when we will, tell them it's still "under development", go silent for a few months, then outta nowhere ,anouce we are cancelling the thread.

I may be missremembering but did FD say they were still tinkering with the surface generation to try to bring large canyons craters and mountains back?

Unfortunately (for you) this is FDEV's thread and you have no control over it
It was exactly the same say with Odyssey, we all know how it ended.
Yes, yes, I was just talking plain and boring finance here
I would specify "a certain percentage of console players"... which is bad news anyway, for sure.
They would need to regenerate the whole galaxy to change either the canyons/mountains or the pattern issue. As far as I know they were still looking at the pattern issue, not sure if that included canyon heights though.
My Favourite was something like "Mansell is in the lead nothing can stop him now".
Followed immediately by one of the back wheels flying off the car.

FDEV as a long time elite player on PS4 - I have invested thousands of hours I am crushed this news but understand your decision - please give us a way to transfer out accounts to PC so we do not loose all of our hard earned progress in the game - starting over from scratch I feel would be unfair considering I would not be willingly switching to PC, but am forced to if I want to play any new content - I love the game, but that is a lot of time lost (years) - anything you can do would be appreciated - also I believe you will be alienating the console community for good if you decide to not pursue transfers - many of us would be bitter and likely not be very forgiving going forward
