Back to Elite and the Starmap is a mess

90s? You young whipper-snappers

Been using joysticks for Elite since 1984 and ain't stoppin' now. (Back then we didn't know what a mouse was )

It doesn't matter what you post, I always here John de Lancie's voice in my head. Great voice actor, distinctive voice.

Funny because I was thinking of getting the voice attack software and the HCS voice pack with John DeLancie for ED.

You'll get used to it. Once you get around to how it works it's quite simple.

I do prefer the Horizons galaxy map myself, but the EDO version is not bad really. My only complaint with it, is that it just seemed a pointless waste of dev resources to change something that many do not think needed changing. In my opinion, it's not really worse, but it's not really better either. That I had to bother relearning something I already had down is part of that.

Now that I think of it, I did use a controller for selecting and plotting on both the galaxy map and system map some time ago beyond just navigation as I do now for Horizons, and I think this was due to some change a few years back where getting to and selecting fields in these popup menus became imprecise, like they would flutter between options. This was well before Odyssey. Well, maybe I just had some drift in my sticks or something that wasn't making use of the slight deadzone I use for flight controls.

I've gone from a Logitech Cordless Rumble Pad 2 (D-Input) to a Logitech F-710 (generic Xbox X-Input type) to an 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ (Nintendo Switch, Playstation, and Xbox X-Input type). The first one was the best for the game with its square analog stick ranges of motion for full multi-axes throws, but sadly it stopped working with its USB receiver, so I had to retire it well before its time. Had a good 30-foot range on that thing too.
