Oh wow, I've just discovered the best thing about Update 13. They have ninja added the default control pad interactions to the on foot menus in Elite!

Because the game only has 2 sets of bindings, I have all the UI menu navigation, select and back, set to my HOTAS and my Keyboard. This means that when I use a Control Pad to walk around (which I do when not doing combat so I don't have to move my setup) I still have to use one of the other 2 methods to select to open the lift, or use Pioneer Supplies. Not any more! 🥳 I can just carry on using the d-pad and A/B on the Xbox Controller.

Do you have the UI Panel controls set to two other input methods though, or your control pad.

Mine is like the above however it is not the Odyssey preset, It says custom however I chose Advanced control pad 2 i think, Its only shown as custom now as added some for Emotes and changed 1 or two around for my own comfort

You already have the primary control bindings set to the Control Pad. Mine are set to my x52 HOTAS, and the secondary bindings are set to Keyboard same as yours (although you can see I've changed UI Back.

Just on a side note there isn't an Odyssey preset, that is what I renamed my Custom bindings to be. It makes it easier to differentiate between my ones for Horizons and Odyssey. Although it's been a while since the game has had trouble keeping the bindings right when swapping between the two games.

I just find it keeps things neater to have them labelled :)
 
The following issue with the Crash reporter has now been fixed: Crash Reporter reports an Object Reference Not Set to an instance of an Object error.
Just had this error pop up again. Also had a hard CTD the other day where the Crash Reporter didn't pop up at all.
 
Coming back to see what happens ingame...

... I know it is a minor update but I cannot understand why no further work in different Station Layouts is a thing? I mean, a little update could also bring some little changes like more indoor variations from stations. I will never understand why FD isn´t doing things beside the main "features" of a update to bring us some little fresh things... and there would be a lot of little things they could do.
 
@sallymorganmoore I get an error when trying to pick an accessory for my CMDR in the loadouts. It's kind of maddening that the accessories are universal instead of specific to the loadout. Anyway, it's a white jacket. I was trying to find the name of it by looking in the Frontier store and it's not on there any more. But I cannot select it. It gives me an error and returns to the previous page. I can select other things, just not these jackets from the packs I've purchased with ARX.
 
Greetings Commanders.

And so, Salvation is nigh…Update 13 and the conclusion of the Azimuth Saga are only a short number of hours away and we’re on the edge of our cockpit seats.
Before we get down to the business of update notes ahead of downtime and deployment, let’s recap today’s release deployment schedule.

We are still very much on track and working to the following, remaining itinerary:

Time Approximations (BST)
09:00
  • Server downtime begins for all Elite Dangerous Odyssey and Horizons players, on all platforms.
[NEW] 13:30
  • Elite Dangerous servers will be back online across all platforms.
  • Update 13 will be available.

The update notes will be delivered here in two sections within the same post.
  • The first section will be specific to Odyssey only, with the second specific to Horizons only.
Great! So without further ado, please head on over to the fancy new format of notes for your perusal. You'll find them published here: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/elite-dangerous-update-13-notes

As usual we'll be about if you need us

Here we go! o7
@sallymorganmoore just to mention - Update 13 Notes were published, but update notes section was not updated.

AFAIK, it plays every time you login (at least in Odyssey)..

If you get tired of watching it, pressing escape seems to work.

Otherwise it's just a .webm video file local to your computer.. :)
Thats correct EVERY time you log in, pressing 'ESC' does skip it but wouldn't it be better to allow an option to stop it running at all, I mean after so long it's not even entertaining anymore just an annoyance.
 
I'm sure that it will disappear at some point, a mouse click also works and doesn't seem too onerous..

I can think of hundreds of things in game that could need the dev time better than adding an option for skipping it. Not to mention the people which turned it off complaining that they missed the next cut scene. :D
Still shaking my head at why FDEV didn't simply put a check into the code indicating if you already watched it at which point you can optionally rewatch it from the codex or such.
