Detailed Surface Scanner = Advanced Discovery Scanner ?

[ElectricFactory]

Does the Detailed Surface Scanner provide similar functionality as the Advanced Discovery Scanner ? Using the Rouguey search and the eddb.lo search site I went to Casey Terminal in the Taunetes System and Wagner Sation in the Ualapolar Systems, both of whom list being in stock on the ADS, neither of which had one.

The ADS is now built in to all ships, it's the Discovery Scanner (right hand panel fire groups) the DSS is required in order to map planets, as it's this that fires the probes.

I got and ADS, but Comp. Scanner keeps popping up in fire group but can't access it even with it added to a fire group button, what is it and how do you use it?

I dont bother with the new scanner, If ya want to explore you have to go there anyway, right? if ya want to map the planet.

Combat mode will block scanners and probing working, analysis mode needs to be enabled...
Blue hud gui = analysis mode
Orange hud gui = combat mode...
Once you press the hud mode change button and then press the primary or secondary fire to enable DSS, youll jump into the manual DSS targeting probe mode...
Now shoot of your probes...

Thanks for the reply, yeah I know how to Anaylsis Mode etc do the probes an all, it's the other scanner where you have the bar at the bottom and you have to slide it along to find the planets USS's etc

That is the FSS not ADS.. Full spectrum system scanner

The FSS is not set on a hard point... its triggered with the fixed button combo that you had to set up at the 3.0 update...
As long as your not applying any thrust.. the button combo you had to set up on controllers triggers it...
If you started after update 3.0 the controller button map for default is Y + RB... for classic controlls its B +LB...

The ADS only honks now it does not have any gui... only the DSS and FSS have gui to controll them...
