cockpit

Dear FDev, When will our Hired Crew take a seat in our spare cockpit seats? We know from Space Taxis and Dropships that the tech and capability is there. NPC pilots have all their dialogue recorded. ... So why not? This will really help give our cockpits some more immersion, atmosphere and...

could be a nice and funny add on watching the guest pilot inside ship cockpit, next to you. it would also add a little more realism. whats your feeling about it?

Dear FD, Since 2015, I've been waiting for an NPC copilot to take seat in the cockpit with me. But now, with how Apex Interstellar works, I know it's not only doable, but almost done... If you at least want to. Please, please, FD, let us have NPC copilots sitting next to us and taking us where...

Can they maybe just change to NPC crew take over when doing a landing Im really bored with empty backseat on my cockpit. I just play solo without friends and it feels kind of depressing playing for how many hours grinding without someone with me on the ship. I can't feel the essence of being a...

I doubt that im doing anything but waste my time right now. As surely many players have spoken up to this over the years but i have to try.... The fer de lance is unquestionably one of the most beautiful ships in the game both inside and out. Its cockpit interior in my opinion would easily...

I recently bought most ships in the game to explore the cockpits in VR. Most of them are passable but some of them are simply dated at this point. Whoever you guys hired to do the Mamba and the Krait interiors really knocked it out of the park. Flying those ships feels like I'm really playing a...

After nearly a year in development, I'm please to announce to the Elite community the release of MFD Cougar Display! This application is an extension to your Elite cockpit and brings live animations and extra immersion for PC users of Elite. There's something for all play styles - exploration...

I intuitively thought this was the case already, but I asked in the newcomers section since I couldn't find mention of it. There are several aesthetic reasons, but personally I find the idea of exploring the deepest regions of space with an empty seat behind my back pretty bleak and depressing...

I’m making two cockpit display panels with real 3D rendering of icons and display data. The idea is to run them on portable plugin monitors and use Thrustmaster Cougar MFD panels around the edge of the screens. This way the cockpit extension is fully dynamic and responsive to in game events and...

Hello guys, a weird question for you. I've been playing ED on a laptop for years, just switched back to a 17 inch screen, 1920x1080. 50/60 cm off my face. What would be the most "natural" field of view for you ? For some reason, I'm never satisfied with it, I feel it's too restrained, the...

Dear developers and programmers at FD, the majority of the German speaking community is very unhappy with "Gerhard", the German COVAS voice. Most of us have tried it and very soon switched back to the voices we were used to. "Gerhard" is a very old-fashioned name and the voice itself reminds...

First and foremost, I love the direction the game is going. It's improved in such a way that it has made it more fun than ever before in my opinion. Even exploration is exciting with the life forms, etc. But I've had this particular suggestion/gripe my entire time, since I started playing back...

https://youtu.be/G1zuwT6xGXQ Here is my aluminium profile Sim Rig that I started building in 2016. I use it exclusively for virtual reality gaming in DCS World, Elite Dangerous, IL-2 BoS, Project Cars 2 and Dirt Rally. Pics and further info can be found here: IMGUR For more information on...

At the moment the ship always reverts to Combat mode when signing in. As an Explorer with no weapons fitted, I don't need Combat mode and would prefer my ship to load always in Analysis mode if possible. Could the programmers change this behaviour to remember the mode which was active when the...

Hello I'm sure it has been asked before for many times, but is it possible to make the cockpit lights brightness adjustable, just like the HUD brightness? Or make the function to switch interior lights off completely (if the light nodes aren't actually imbedded in the ship's interior mesh)...

I come into Elite as a Flight Sim Enthusiast with some experience as a fixed wing pilot. Elite comes close to being a viable alternative to terrestrial aviation and thus far I have enjoyed using Elite in a similar manner to my use of flight simulation. One quite noticeable short fall is in the...

Python cockpit is fine, the light level is nice. Other ships like corvette are to bright when flying, especially with new lighting. Can we have either a switch to lower the light levels like a low set dimmer, or can the lights dim when engine started. And lights come on brighter when engine...

Hi, I would be more than happy to customise my ships with more cosmetic models and textures. Other multiplayer games let you choose from hundreds of options and are earning millions on them, but Elite microtransactions are more than disappointing. I would love to see more ship kits, there...

Would love to have some alternative cockpits for each ship. Would happily pay for these in the store. These changes could be very subtle; - Removing the lights that sit in the middle of the screen on some cockpits (I don't fly the krait for this reason, as I find those big square lights...

Many have commentated on it but few have thrown it in the face of ED but dagnamit even nowadays we have self cleaning glass for conservatories, surely by the current ED year we've progressed quite a bit? For a QoL can we get something to sort this out. My example is below: In case this self...

Hello, I just wanted to suggest to add more Cockpit Customizations to the game. For example plastic dinosaurs like in Firefly (NO BOBBLEHEADS!), cups, cans etc. to look more liveable. I also appreciate all the raider kits but especially on/in a Cutter it doesn't really fit, so kits for Cockpits...

I've seen this suggestion come up several times now, but since it is really bugging me, I'd like to chime in. In VR (HTC Vive) I am getting really bad reflection on the bottom portion of the Fresnel lenses. This is being caused by the chair and flight control lighting beaming up from...

Instead of recolors of old school xmas tree lights (seriously, in 3304 guys...), can we have some neon lights running across the cockpit frames? Possibly colored in orange (ingame display color), red, green, purple, yellow, and blue (the latest for white cockpits would look great)? Actually...

We can model an avatar of us (the player) via the holo-me tools and see it in the cockpit chair. very cool. Can we now also model an avatar of our hired NPC crew member and have them sit in one of the seats behind us in the cockpit?

Hi, I've learned a lot, since I play Elite. There are lots of small things, which can improve the gaming experience. I really enjoyed to discover all this, and was thinking a lot about sharing them. But what is better: to make a good Chili con carne for my friends, or teach them, how to make...

Physical Goods - Can I defer paying the extra $15 for now / Pay it later? Hi I am considering getting the kickstarter special. Physical goods are included, but there is no way I can justify spending another 15 - at least right now. Can I select "Do not ship physical goods" and then activate...
