Pop up still present at letterbox

[Globusdiablo]

Sorry but this has never bothered me before and doesn't bother me now. It's an irrelevance t9 gameplay.

I'd rather FD spent their time on stuff that matters.

If anything they should increase the fog in the entrance to obscure the pop up of the in-station details..

No need to apologize buddy.

I hear you. It's just become one of my personal eyesores.

i find it annoying too, yea im fussy i guess but its something no doubt easy to fix.

 

[Avago Earo]

Yeah I was really pleased that they fixed this during Beta. Annoying to see it back.

 

[CMDR Brock Samson]

Yup, I have noticed it too.2 steps forward, 1 step back

 

[Samosa]

Come on, people. It's a motion sensor. I thought everyone knew this?

True there is plenty of other stuff to take care of, but presumably, this should be no more difficult to fix than making the distance slider go up to 11.
As for it being irrelevant, while it's been a few months since I did any smuggling in earnest, but my preferred method was to enter the station at scalded cat speeds, with the previous draw distance, you had fair advanced warning of larger ships exiting & you could respond accordingly, but now, not so much I guess.

Sometimes I can see into the station from fairly far out. So I have always thought it had something to do with alignment.

All true.

 

[Things]

I almost always approach stations from the front.
I've noticed that often I can see inside the station from relatively large distance. However, it disappears when I get closer only to appear again when I'm directly in front of the station (like in the video).
It's very noticeable and ticks me off every time I see it.

 

[Bernie65]

Please could we have the draw distance dialed back to what it was in early beta?

The pop up at the letterbox drives me crazy. Extremely "immersion breaking".

Yes, I totally second the plea to increase the LOD distance! Not only for stations, but also for the landing grid at outposts, textures on ships (Pythons really look 80's style from the distance until you get close when all of the sudden the details appear) and planets when approaching them in SC. It looked fine in Beta but got worse. At least have an option to increase it.
Or is there a way to tweak that in the settings file?

What's LOD?

It shouldn't be necessary to mess with settings files though. Graphical content should be scalable in-game.

No point having a draw distance set at max, when max is ten feet...

(All right, that was an understatement. Twenty feet...)

 

[Han Yolo]

sry, no can do.

Graphics being dumbed down in order to have it the same way as xbox version. FD fears nothing more than whiny xbox players.
