1.05 broke the MFG Crosswind Rudder pedals, again! Any chance you could just enumerate ANY DirectX HID device like DCS World, instead of trying to maintain a list of "recognized" controllers?
 
You all know the story. I figured I'd give it another try. Online can't be that bad. I bought a few beers and I sat down at the end of the week, and all I get is "yadda yadda authentication server yadda yadda". All the things I didn't pay for. All the things I never wished for. It's not working because there's no offline mode.

or show systems (names) out of range in a less saturated color or something like that.

Concur - had thought the first was a bit inconsistent, second would get over the information overload when navigating
 
Lakon Type 6 comes from the Shipyard with an E3 Shield Generator. It is impossible to upgrade this to a better D3, C3, B3 or A3, as the outfitting shop keeps insisting that the shield size is too small for the ship. But that's the size you delivered it with!

Also, with a total of over 600 items I have logged in Excel, across 70 different stations, there was not a single D4 item anywhere to be found. D1, D2, D3 and D5 items are available, but D4 is not.

This is going to be incredibly frustrating if the game goes life with outfitting not functioning properly. After all, those are the only immediate rewards for all the repetitive things you do in the game.


IF YOU PURPOSELY REMOVED D4 ITEMS, PLEASE LET US KNOW, SO WE DON'T WASTE OUR TIME HUNTING FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE.

This game is simply not ready to be released, it still has many issues.

So, one of two things is likely to happen.

1) What is ready will seem so good that folk with put up with the problems and simply wait for improvements.

2) Folk will be annoyed that they have spent money for a game which is just not ready (yet) and will simply abandon the game forever.

Frontier is gambling that 1 wins.

On a personal level, I am simply baffled why Frontier set an arbitrary release date rather then getting the game ready, then setting a date for release.

Uh, what makes you think they set an arbitrary release date? I think they have good reasons to release it as incomplete as it is. Being out of money could be a pretty strong reason. While they could probably get additional financing, at this point they'd have to give away half the company for it.

And nobody sets a release date, just to get a massive scrum push out of their programmers ;-)

Xmas as a reason is kinda thin too, cause with only 8 days left, they only get the very tail of it.

Still can't sell scanned system data. I explored several system and wasn't able to sell the data until yet. Every station's universal cartographics shows no sell data option. My scans were in vain.

I have encountered the same thing. While this may be a bug, is it possible someone beat you to it?

IE: The game informs you of the new discovery. Someone else is in the area at the same time. While both players receive the "new" info the only valid sale of said info is whomever gets it to market.

So if 10 people fly into a undiscovered system, only 1 can make the sale of the info.

If this were true, then the whole mechanic would primarily serve to create confused, angry pilots. I can't imagine this is how they've done it, but if it is they should really implement an explanatory sentence.

No, the first person to sell the discovery data makes the fattest profit. After that you still get money, but it is reduced.

If you can't sell the data then it's a bug. Ticket it.
 
Very happy with the updates FD keep those tweaks coming.

On that note when docked going into the contact pilots federation menu to claim my bounty it occasionally locks up I then have to ESC save quit join the game again.
Also after killing a wanted ship you get a message on the top right of the screen but I noticed anything over 5k it wont show up in the transaction menu? I remember scoring a 135k bounty kill got all excited return to port & it was missing only the crappy 400 & 1k bounties showing, the highest was 3900 even thou I kill 2 X 10k bounties and a few 8k bounties but none of those are shown it was a bit disappointing.

Other than that the game is coming on well, keep up the good work.
 
Three finger salute to exit ED ....every time!!!!!!!!!!

To exit the game I'm still needing to Control/Alt/Delete then getting Task Manager to kill the Client!....STILL!!! (Yes I've tried to save/exit to main screen the save/exit again, all to no avail!) :mad:

Not always but I also have this problem half of the time.

I've been waiting for the release because I didn't want to ruin all the fun playing an unfinished game.
Then I found out that I can get the Gamma, so I gave it a try - it was supposed to be a release candidate anyway.

The game is simply not ready for the release.

You are making a huge mistake, FD. :(
