thrust

So i'm giving the game a try, after playing a few other space games for a while now. I'm using two VKB Omni-Throttle flight sticks for reference, and have everything bound how I wanted it. Went to do the landing training (not the 'license' intro training) and when I reached the target...

Thrust Panels Instead of having a huge rocket engine I suggest using panels full of micro engines that combine their power. Sometime small works more efficiently than a large one. This technology is seriously on table in NASA research. The future of rocket engineering means that everything...

Im using the Hotas 4 on my PS4 and so far I'm loving the difference. I am having a problem fine tuning one thing though. I'm working on my piloting skills and playing with using my thrusters, so I decided I wanted to set the throttle stick to thrust so I can control my movements better with FA...

Currently ED only allows for a single axis to control Vertical and Horizontal lateral thrust. The adjoining options for directions only allow for binary input (on/off). I would like there to be an option to recognise analogue input for Lateral Thrust Up, Down, Left, Right controls to allow for...

Hey all I'm fairly new to the game and BOY HOWDY is there a lot to take in. I'm trying to set up my alternate control scheme with lateral thrust (left and right) so that I can use it when docking. On my normal setup, I have the left stick for up/down thrust and left-right yaw. On the right...

First off, my apologies if I posted this in the wrong section of the forums. I sifted around for too long, and this seems the most appropriate location... So, I have been engineering my thrusters and came across something that I do not fully understand. Heat output from this module! I have...

Hello Frontier, i just came up with a neat Idea. When you see any kind of real-life space landers they always fire a thruster just before landing to effectively decrease speed on touchdown. How about incorporating that into Elite? A higher grade Planetary Approach Suite, a more expensive and...

Hi All, I've upped my pledge to the ED Kickstarter to the Writers Pack but as referred to on the KS, when I posted what I'd done: ***WARNING: Right guys, this Book Pledge is purely made on the assumption that between now and close of play on Jan 5th I can actually come up with a decent plot...
