realism

I love the new onboard cameras in F1 Manager 2023, the helmet cam is a great addition to the immersive feeling. However, having generic steering wheels for all teams kills the onboard immersion for me. Think about Williams, their steering wheel is iconic, having the dashboard separated from the...

Greetings Commanders! I am Major Donofrio, leader of the 16th Infantry Regiment - a virtual military realism unit. We are currently based in the WW2 FPS Hell Let Loose but are looking to expand into Elite Dangerous. Essentially we would like to train and face other groups in PVP combat in...

I was deep core mining. I backed off just beyond 1km. And yes I judged this by targeting something on my side of the asteroid. The rock blew and a huge chunk of rock came hurdling right at my type 9. It wiped out my shields and 20% of hull. Has anyone ever had this happen? I...

Black holes in the game are extremely impressive as this is the only game I’ve seen that bothers with the warping of light. I want to suggest making black holes even more dangerous as in real life black holes are bad news. You should not be able to escape black holes once you get too close. When...

So, I've brought this up in threads in the past, but seeing as this game is now 2 years old and none of this has been added, or even discussed in a long while, I figured I'd bring this issue back up that I would really like to see addressed. So, let's talk animal behaviors. As many, MAAAANY...

Often the fanbase argues over realistic (common in zoos) choices vs. exotic choices in the roster, for animals which fill similar niches. Here is a list of realistic vs. exotic, bold the one's you'd choose (I include animals already in the game choose as if you could retroactively make...

There are a few biomes missing from the game, which causes an inability to create zoos in their corresponding real life biome, and makes some animals' biome placement incorrect. I did the research, and here are the main biomes missing according to it: Scrub - scrublands, a semi-arid landscape...

Hey, I am not sure if someone already has suggested this but I would absolutely love to have the ability to adjust Orbital ship configuration while in Supercruise Assist. This would be such a simple feature to implement as I am sure the current AI uses a set of instructions already. All I want...

Okay, I'm back with another pronghorn post. To start, thank you for adding the taiga biome to the pronghorn, it makes them much more realistic. However, there is still one major biome lacking for this iconic American animal, the Desert. Pronghorns are desert animals. High deserts, low deserts...

Was hoping for larger areas in stations. Maybe some kind of procedureal towns/cities where there are lots of people and potential conflicts/interactions. I didn’t expect the playable area inside the stations to be small mini-mall style areas where you can’t hold your weapon or even jump. I know...

I've been seeing a lot of great suggestions on these forums on how to improve these assets. I decided to make a "mega-thread" where people can suggest improvements that they think are the most feasible, and/or would be the best to prioritize for improving the immersion. Sometimes a little goes a...

Dear Developers, Is it possible to implement functioning doors into the game? This way we can build more awesome and realistic looking buildings and habitats. Besides that, it would be more realistic to prevent guests from clipping through objects next to or on pathways. It is not nice to see...

Hello all! I am new to the community here at the forums but by no means new to PlanCO! I have been looking for fellow casual creators that might be interested in doing a collaboration park, one that those who are interested can come up with a concept and design and build from the ground up. I am...

I would first like to apologize if I repeat anyone else's suggestions, I have just joined the forums and did not peruse the suggestions thoroughly If you agree, disagree, or have any additional relevant material or suggestions feel free to comment (if you disagree please let me know why). 1...

I'm just curious, having turned off nebula in my game for my day-to-day travels in the Bubble, what would a nebula look like up close or inside? ED exaggerates the luminosity and saturation of nebula, just like long exposure photography "exaggerates" the night sky compared to what we see with...

Heyo everyone! Over the last half a year I've been hard at work on this 'Palace' Zoo project! It is heavily inspired by the Shönbrunn Tiergarten at the Shönbrunn Palace in Vienna. Inspired but not an exact recreation, because I felt that was a bit too restricting and time consuming. I'm also...

Hey! This is Mr. Toad and this is my personal list of "do and dont's" for this game. So most of you focus on what you want. And I, as a pessimist will tell you first, what I would hate to see in this game and explain why. So, let's start. Feel free to add your points and share your views on...

Carnivores Scare Guests: Since carnivores wont be able to kill the guests of the park, maybe implementing something like this will give it more of a real feel. Lets say there is a pride of lions, kept behind a mesh wire fence (not very safe at all) and the fence is right next to the path, so...

Some people complain the NPCs are too easy, others complain they are too hard, my complaint is they are all too "samey". Lately I feel like every NPC pilot I encounter is the same pilot. I'm not just talking in combat. In fact, it's somewhat disconcerting to see passenger ships boosting out of...

Hello! I wanted to poll the forums, how many of you would be willing to pay reasonable money ($10-15? Maybe $20?) for a DLC that redid every dinosaur model in the game for paleontological accuracy? Closer sizes, feathers, behaviors, even colors when we know them from schemochromes. Perhaps...

Can we please have navigation and strobing position lightsl? A very simple addition to add to the immersion and express the true volume of traffic when you drop into an instance.

I want to preface this by saying that I know you've set the time of day for each of the islands of Las Cinco Muertes. This post is purely for (hopefully) what you may or may not have planned for Nublar and/or a sandbox mode (which please let there be one, literally everyone wants one)...

I've noticed with the goats/herbivores that although they do run away when close to a carnivore (sometimes) as soon as the carnivore catches up, both species suddenly stop in their tracks and go through a killing/eating animation. Now this is okay but I have NEVER seen prey running from a...

hello folks, yesterday i took my third look at the competitor SC. may be it is a big advantage for ED, that it lags life at this stage of development! To build a world around an organism seems to be much more difficult then filling an existing world with live. The goals that have to be reached...

I'll start by saying that this game is simply beautiful in VR. So much so that when I'm in a ship with a large open cockpit, I sometimes want to lean back in my chair and take in the view. I want to stare in awe the beauty of the galaxy that surrounds me, but what do I see? The inside of my...

Hey all, just popped into the intro forum and am currently attempting to prove I am a real person. Speaking of real people, as a pilot IRL I like to post pictures all over my cockpit of family, friends, loved ones, pets, and things to that nature (trust me, a big role of scotch tape is always in...
