How longs have 'Planets of Sol' Bobbleheads been in the store, and why did no-one tell me?!
- Thread starter GreyAreaUK
- Start date
Apologies if I've misinterpreted ... are you calling FD amateurish because these bobbleheads have not been formally announced yet (and, seeing as they will no doubt be announced in this afternoon's newsletter, what that's really saying is that they've dared to put them on the store 3 hrs ahead of when the newsletter drops)? If so then it seems you're really stretching for an excuse to have a pop at them.
i7, 1G VRAM, 8G RAM. It's interesting how everything else is high resolution textures, the clouds, stations, ships, even other earth-like worlds are much higher.
Isn't there a way to force the game to keep the high res texture loaded instead of switching to low when getting closer?
Indeed there is (and I've probably done some of it, although so long ago that I've forgotten exactly what) ...

Note: that guide is pretty old now so follow with caution (maybe backup the file you're editing first)

But does this also apply to Earth itself? One would think 2560 for the ultra setting would be high enough for it to be much better than it shows.
Since you can't place them to scale on your dashboard I'd say it doesn't really matter.
Yeah but it exists in game. If it's good enough for the Sol system it's good enough for my cockpit!
This is an ancient post but some of the OP's screenshots bear a striking resemblence to yours so it might be helpful ...

And joo piter.
Isn't the same, even his 512px low res is far higher than my Earth texture.
Pity they are not accurate!- What happened to the Beige love?
Indeed, mercury looks pretty amazing as bobblehead, I would love to see it in this 'look' in the game (the real planet). Come on, FD, give it a try
The Sol system in ED has many bodies beyond pluto which are actually larger, but do not appear in the pack.
It would not make sense to pick out that one world and include it, when others are ignored. Pluto isnt a planet now and im sure that classification would remain 1000 years from now as the astronomical lexicon is built upon.
I'm havin' me some of those....
.... I wonder when we'll be able to buy a "Satellites of Sol" pack - need me some Moon....!
I suspect that will be a Special Reward item for the first Elite pilot who lands there.

No Hula Dancer? No sale.
Bobbleheads are the most stupid thing ever as a game add-on, but damn the nodding pilot on my dash still makes me smile.
Guess I'm spending money too when I get home.
