Just read the rollout plan and watched the star port video.

Fantastic job Frontier, it looks great. Very impressive, adds a huge amount to the game and the immersion will be great. Looking forward to the release.

Just finished watching the StarportTour livestream YouTube. Arthur mentioned an Alpha bug reporting mechanism but I didn't see/hear any details. Is it this thread?

I have a question about flight stick compatibility for odyssey playability. Or will I have to completely configure a controller for to separate the to?

You may 🤷‍♂️

I'm alright, both my laptop and PC exceed the pretty basic "unoptimised code" specs posted.

Sorry it will be so tough for you, though :unsure:

I literally bought a new desktop AND a laptop (so I can play it when I'm not at home) to play Elite (along with proper furniture, hootas, portable joystick, pad, pedals, Oculus Rift and so forth). And I'll buy another computer if needed, lol.

This is why I feel authorised to complain so much. ;)

Oh, I won't need another PC for a few weeks yet...
But it is used for other games both flat and VR, as is the laptop.
But, sounds like you have given yourself a treat there 🥳

One of these days I'll stop flying like a beginner - I bought the Warthog HOTAS and a set of pedals... Pedals are amazing! Sadly my brain forgets to straighten up most of the time.. :ROFLMAO:

I bought pedals so I can use feets to accelerate/brake but then I figured out people kick things when they are panicking, so now my pedals are assigned to shield battery and heat sink. :) It does wonders. ;)

And yeah - I know you guys think I just grumble, but I AM a hardcore fan. I've been on this forum since 2006.
