Invisible Nav Beacon! PLESE HELP

[gladiator117sp]

Hello

Purchased the standard edition of the game for Xbox One, starter playing but I encountered this really annoying bug:

I can´t see nor scan nav beacons. I can find the spot, leave shiftdrive, stay as low as 6M distance, and still nothing.

I took a picture of it -

Searched everywhere to something similar, with no luck

Please help

The nav beacon it self is a white icon on your radar..

IIRC, you need to select it from the "Contacts" tab of your left-hand panel, not the "Navigation" tab. It's not one of ED's most intuitive features....

For some reason in the NAV beacon instances, the location label of the NAV beacon (that you're showing in your pic above) does not align with the actual NAV beacon itself. As Dusty says the NAV beacon is a white target on your radar. In your picture, it's probably the white target almost directly below your ship. As disintegration7 says, select it from the Contacts tab to make sure you're targeting and looking at the actual NAV beacon.

Yep. As soon as you drop into the Nav Beacon area it'll be the first thing that pops up on your RADAR before anything else, that bright white square.

If it makes you feel better, i spent two hours in a Nbav Beacon instance wondering why I couldn't see it. Eventually it hit me.... Or rather I hit it.....

Don't feel stupid...it isn't really intuitive that the nav marker and the nav beacon are in different locations.

I didn't find it until I crashed a Cobra into it. It hits like a Cutter.

Seems we all eventually discovered the nav beaccons the same way..by hitting them

Well, I found it in my contacts tab to be fair. I was looking for something else at the time though.
