I'm on KB+M
Finally done it...
- Thread starter Combat Devolved
- Start date
I'm on KB+M
Murgle is still under the illusion you can honk to reveal all...
Sorry to see you go : (
All the best and may you return one day!

I gots so many buttons that you don't even know what I'm capable of.
OK, that's not true, I only have five extra buttons, and they're all pip macro'd

Yeesh, you're a sour fella...
FSS
Map tuning to Q/E
Map zoom to W/S
Stepped zoom... meh. I don't even use it.
Exit is whatever you maapped to enter, I chose \
(Though really I should try mapping it to mouse 2)
DSS
Enter is Mouse 1 (Fire)
Exit is Backspace
Mouse does the rest
(I should probably map exit to mouse 2, but I'm lazy)
Not a lot of extra controls, IMO.

Yes, you got one hand on the mouse, one on the keyboard. Others have two hands on a gamepad. Or one hand on a stick and one on a throttle. That is indeed how people play games.
I'm on a standard Xbox style controller and can still manage alright. I did have to drop I think one or two functions from it though which I don't use often at all and which can be selected on the panels from within the cockpit, so not a huge issue for me.
Perhaps this would help the OP some...
...but on the other hand, I can't really fault them for having a poor experience and not caring for these changes, accounting for gameplay approaches and tastes and all that.

Getting some odd results, they might have limited the range on the honk, but I'll do some more testing.
Uninstalled
Game's not what it was so it's time to play something else.
It was the scanner that done it guv. Not so much the aims of what was intended, it was the half- way it was setup. If a group of coders can sit round a table and draw up a system like the FSS and DSS and think they've delivered something good then it doesn't bode well for future updates - especially as future updates will be paid.
There is no thought for how the system works from a cockpit simulation, the two scanners are so different they feel like the separate mini-games they are, the controls and sensitivity are different and the bindings are obscure enough you have to guess what they mean. Try the scanner, fix the stuff that didn't mean what you thought, test again.
I have a PC with one keyboard, one Hotas and one mouse, how can there be so many ways for the input from them to be so different in one piece of software? That's not a challenge by the way Frontier.
I've enjoyed flying my spaceship, but after that last update it's just too clumsy to pilot anymore, it's like being forced to play in a crap hire car you can't wait to give back, someone's turned the contrast up too so everything looks over saturated.
Thargoids can have the galaxy, they'll win anyway as the human pilots won't have evolved a third arm in time to control all the features of their ship.
If I could give it away you'd be welcome to have my stuff.
Nobody likes a quitter.
Thanks. The following should happen.
1) Upon entering a system, stuff nearby is auto-resolved (no honk needed, asteroid belts/stars etc).
2a) Honking puts all the stuff in the FSS, and reveals all stars. It also gives all basic credits as if you discovered them.
2b) The exception is already discovered stuff, this is now auto-revealed (but only a basic scan, FSS still needed for more details).
If you really are 1500 LY from the bubble: that is very close. Depending on where you are and how well-worn the road is the majority of systems can auto-resolve. I've had entire regions 5000 LY away auto-resolve. Go off the beaten path and its all dark and the FSS is needed. One thing 3.3 really hammered home is how well-explored space around the bubble is!

I'm not totally convinced this isn't some troll OP. Someone who's mentioned they liked the game how "it was" before 3.3 sounds like they've played hundreds of hours. Setting a few custom keys in controls is still easier than learning to set multiple alarms and sound settings on an unfamiliar clock. The trolling bandwagon is grasping at anything to criticize as a major failing of 3.3 when it's quickly run out of steam.

Map zoom I use the mouse wheel. I don't get why people complain so much about the FSS. It's not that hard people. I can control just about the whole thing on my mouse, I just use Q and E for tuning.
So far it looks like the old system if you were using the basic scanner except it now picks up all stars in the system.
Different from the way it way granted but no where near as dramatic as some explorers make it out to be.

I got the same, apart from the A and D for tuning. Works wonders indeed.
For the topic, cool story, changed my life [up]

And mapping mouse 2 to exit makes it even better.
Yeah, I don't mind the FSS at all.

OP would hate a jet simulator.
I've never bothered using a basic scanner well out in the black. Took me maybe a month of gameplay back in early 3301 (2015) to get a fully kitted Cobra Mk III. Since then (though obviously before 3.3 went live) all of my ships that performed any sort of exploration role have had an ADS equipped. I think it's safe so say that the overwhelming majority of veteran explorers have had an ADS equipped, so it's a rather significant change in that regard, assuming they're not keen on having to use the FSS mechanics.
You're right of course. Instead it's
1)Honk.
2)Open FSS and look at what peaks are in the spectrum.
3)Pick any interesting peak.
4)Tune it and zoom in.
5)If any are really interesting fly there and map 'em.
Overall you actually waste less time checking out systems that are nothing but "red beans and rice"
OP: Sorry it didn't work out. I admit the bindings are a pain, I still haven't got the SRV right.
Have a look at the advice on the forum.

Rogue System even.
