Has anyone else noticed the FSD countdown...

[CMDR Sheehy]

...is off?

At 4.9 she says "Four"
At 3.9 she says "Three"
At 2.9 she says "Two"
At 1.9 she says "One"
then at 1 she says "Engage"

It's a small thing, and maybe I kinda understand why it's like that. Every now and then though I find myself muttering to her: "Get the numbers right, woman!"

 

[Altissimus]

I can't imagine the anguish you must feel. I'm so, so sorry.

 

[Knightshark]

Maybe it takes her one second to say "Engage"?

 

[mothermole1]

100% noticed this in the first 20 minutes of play. Weird.

 

[5PIDER]

It takes .9 seconds to engage. Done.

 

[CoderX71]

What is wrong with the world these days?

 

[deMangler]

This has been pointed out to FD since implementation, along with the buy and sell being the opposite way round in station markets. They must just want it like that.

 

[Sage Stark]

I think the word you are looking for is pedantic.

 

[Valethar]

Does it really matter whether she gets the timing right for her friendship drive?

I mean, as long as you both get there together, it's all good right?

This subject was done to death way back in alpha and beta testing. I think its fairly safe to assume it's not going to change. Ever!

I would like to request a change please.

at 4.9 seconds I would like her to say "four".
at 3.9 seconds I would like her to say "three".
at 2.9 seconds I would like her to say "two".
at 2.1 seconds I would like her to say "one and a half".
at 1.5 seconds I would like her to say "one and a really small bit."
at 0.9 seconds I would like her to say "wait...where?!?"

I am consoled by the fact that every now and then, when she says "Ready to engage" she forgets her lines and the numbers slip on by uncounted.

 

[MikeSnos]

Old news I'm afraid... It's to do with the rounding etc in the background...

Followed by a sound like the FSD is eating itself. I've not been able to notice a pattern of when that happens.

 

[Elriuhilu]

Well, when you're counting down seconds aloud, do you say the number as it appears or do you wait for the next number before you say it? Just ignore the decimal and it's right.

Do you mean the 2 second FSD launch? You have to be right outside the gravity well of a celestial body.

 

[Bobbydylan]

The world has gone crazy!

Lol, I noticed this too. Only seems to happen when you are in SC already. It is also accompanied by a weird sound, "Ready to engage *BRAAAPPP* " and then you jump

Again, it's when you are in SC and right outside a planet. 2 second FSD launch.

Yes that's the one, precisely.

When I'm approaching a station I do my own countdown to concentrate and I say 2 when it says 2.0 - NASA style... 2km is 2.0 km... because you 'disengage' at 1km.
