Changes to the DSS?

[sebbemann]

Was there any changes done to the DSS with Odyssey? It certainly changed for me. Not sure if it`s a feature or bug. Can't really explain how it works, but the shooting of probes is the opposite of what you would think (if that makes sense?). Controls are also very sensitive. Completely unusable!

Did your axis controls maybe get inverted? Those can be set up in Ship Controls, under the "Detailed Surface Scanner" section at the bottom. You can invert and change sensitivity in there.

Thanks for your suggestion, but that's not what I meant by opposite. I tied inverting the controls, but the issue is that the probes don't shoot at all where I think. I've been out exploring for a couple of weeks, and used the DSS daily (also have 1000 hours in game), so definitively know how the DSS worked in Horizons. In Horizons the "crosshair" would be stationary, while I could move the sights around. Now it's the other way around. When I move move axis, it only moves the crosshairs, not the sights. But the probes go off in a completely different direction to what I think. Definitively feels like something is wrong, it can't be intended to be this way. It literally unusable atm.

I've done a bit of mapping with the DSS today, and it's been working the same as always (other than having the new filters for the heat maps). But as far as firing the probes go, it's still the same for me.

I'd recheck and validate all your key bindings for the DSS, maybe something got mixed up in there.

Yeah, that's not the issue either. I'm not explaining it right. Searching the web, there are few reporting similar issues in the Alpha-phase, and someone recently started a thread in the VR sub-forum, so it might be specific to VR or something else.

I guess it is specific to VR then, because I play in VR and the DSS is just a mess! It is very difficult to scan anything with this, the axes are reversed, the circle you would drag originally in position now stays in the middle of the screen and you only drag the line out of the circle... It is a mess, difficult to describe it...

Also the sensitivity is probably messed up...

Actually, I also get messed up sensitivity of the SRV throttle control... In Horizons it was nice and smoth... Now it is more like ON/OFF switch (I'm talking about my HOTAS)
