Audio is really nice, unfortunately Horizon (music on planet) while is well made kicks in so late that i am usually already heading back to ship to leave planet. Why I can so barely hear the planet side music? Seriously you need to drive 5-10 minutes before the music even start. Seems like its mostly wasted effort as player can so rarely hear it and they need to have spent long time in srv for it to kick in.
I didn't notice that the galaxy was accurately rendered wherever you are, because it doesn't really change much if you stick to the bubble. During my first expedition out of the bubble, I was slowly realising the milky way was getting brighter because I was seeing more stars! I made a note to park myself outside the United kingdom when I got back and see if I could make out constellations. Wasn't expecting them to be accurate, but they are, and so is the solar system.
I mean, check it out!
Right now, in the evenings, the Orion constellation is out of my Southwest window. Park yourself in orbit over the UK and face southwest - Rigel and Betelgeuse are right in front of you, the right way up and everything. Earth's axial spin is accurate. The position of the moon is accurate. The position in orbit around the sun is accurate. When I first noticed this I felt SO SMALL - I was in awe.

I'll be. Never knew that. Must keep it in mind!
Yea the details are astounding. If you avoid the grind and take time to appreciate the details, the game is in a different class. Last night on an interdiction mission I ended up skimming across an amazing ice planet which even in 1080p was glorious. The mountains, valleys and shading were brilliant. I forgot to take a screenie though, was so busy trying to find the bad guy... :/
I first noticed that the fog/dust wasn't constant during DSE when I landed for the night on a planet with crystal clear visibility and then logged on the next evening to find myself taking off in pea soup. But I didn't realise that its appearance and disappearance was influenced by anything other than a dice roll. Thanks for the info

Melanie is the best. It makes arriving at a nicely green-lit Alliance station feel like coming home.
But let us not forget French-Caribbean Regis, who seems to prefer hitech Alliance stations, and Hermann the Alliance German, who likes industrial and refinery stations!
lots of small details. in my asp, the deep rumble as the FSD charges up to the jump countdown, your view changing as you accelerate to go into supercruise by throttle up.
i have been exploring for a while since my last stop and my asp paint is showing the wear and tear, but rumours this is the cause of me heading to sell data are strictly untrue

LOL!!! I must check this out. I'm usually too busy doing "stuff" (tm).
You have any examples I can go check out?

My screen background on my PC is of my Asp, Black Friday paint, 46% wear and tear after I got back from a 10kly journey out to Hawkins Gap (i think it was). If I was home at my PC I'd post it....
...am home, here 'tis

The audio team in this game is, by far, the most talented group of individuals I could imagine. I think they are at least a step beyond just about any other part of FD, and probably any team at just about any developer. Their attention to detail is awesome, you can pick up so much just by listening - and the system map is just the start.

And in this game audio doesn't tell everything by just listening to it, some things in audio you find only if you check its spectogram:

I need to take a screenshot of this
The sensors in the SRV keep working when in turret mode
you can watch from the turret into the cabin and the sensors still show exactly no-trespassing-zones, contacts, hostile contacts, commodities....etcIf you go to the debug camera, the light in the cockpit of your ship is the same than your HUD. I've changed it to blue and so my cockpit is flooded in blue light in the debug mode
From where is this?
One or other of the big stations which have that big 'antenna/tower' looming over the pads at back of the station. From which particular one that short clip is I don't recall. The stream they send tho is longer than you can safely record in one go before getting shot at XD
Absolutely this. Really early on after I got the game I flew to Sol and then targetted Mintaka (one of the stars in Orions belt). Sure enough the stars that make up the Orion constellation were all there, perfectly positioned so that I could clearly see the famous outline ...
(sorry, I neglected to get an in-game screenshot at the time)

As a colourblind person, I highly appreciate that the red navigation lights are blinking.
In same boat here. Not that I usually give a hoot about them lights anyway, but still.
