I've updated the patch notes (under Codex) with the following:

Some content from the Biological and Geological section of the Codex has not been included for the beta.

Ah, thats to be expected, fine by me!!!

My Beta download says "Upgrade" and when I click it, it doesn't do anything. It just sits there. :/ The launcher frozen even.

ToyTen .. Are you in SC ? I recall on the live streams all the scanners now work ONLY in SC ?

So planets i have discovered and detail scanned so far, wont register in the codex automatically as mapped by me? I hope this is not the case, as it sounds pretty unfair.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

Any chance we can "un-fix" this? Being able to point your SRV where you want to go, then deactivate the weapons to leave a permanent direction marker on the HUD is a really REALLY useful feature for planetary circumnavigators!

If you dont use the mouse you can just enable the mouse dot.

You need to redefine keybinds enabling FSS mode.

What does that have to do? They dont have the data needed?

Mouse dot is always in front of you.
The target reticule stays fixed to the heading it was pointing at when switching dual repeater off.

Ah, got it. But if it is just about remembering a direction, isn't that what a compass is for?

Apart from Sol Achenar and Alioth which are pre mapped, nothing has been mapped yet as the mapping process has just been introduced. Discoveries ought to be credited at least when the live release occurs, for the beta having more discovery opportunities could help with the volume of tests to find the bugs.

That is because you haven't mapped them.

You use the probes to map the surface. There were no probes before, so almost nothing is mapped. Its a free4all.

Compasses are good for absolute direction, relative direction can get tricky.

Giving the beta a miss for today, so far get the loading and loading and loading followed by connection error after error but no worries, did get it to connect one time but only lasted about 2 mins before going down so i'll give it another go tomorrow but hope you all enjoy the beta.

I'm VERY surprised missions destination & and sourced planet,port , station, is not been fixed, compared to the vast array of other fixed I've never encountered????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
