Been gone from this game for a while. Now have the time to get re-acquainted. Also, the imminent Epic Store release means by boys will be joining the galaxy and why should they have all the fun. Now, how to remap that HOTAS X again......!??
Much appreciated Krieger. This will be most helpful.Welcome back to the Elite Galaxy commander!
To get a headstart on the boys have a look at the resources listed below and don't hesitate to ask questions here in the forum.
In-game help is available in the form of menu links to the Pilot's Handbook and the Codex (right-hand cockpit panel 1st tab).
For a very good beginner's guide see: An in-depth beginner’s guide to Elite: Dangerous.
Tutorials covering all aspects of the game, many of them in the form of YouTube videos, are available from ED Tutorials.
There is a wealth of useful information available in these forums spread out over hundreds of threads. Thanks to commander @Alec Turner you can access all of that information and more via a single thread: Alec's best of the forum (and elsewhere) [v2].
Also check out the inara.cz and eddb.io websites with (almost) realtime info on practically everything in the game.
The coriolis.io and edsy.org websites let you design your ships before buying them.
There are many more Tools and Websites created by fans that make life in the galaxy better.
And last but not least, the Elite Dangerous Wiki contains extensive information on nearly all aspects of the game.
