FDEV: " here CMDR have some legs... but geological sites are now invisible to the scanners on your ship! your welcome"
what did you give up for legs?

Performance and visual fidelity.
Not worth it in the end, after giving the DLC an honest go over the past 3 months personally.
PS - you can still find geo sites via the "heat" map, I only did so the other day.. legacy bio sites I'm not so sure, presumably they work the same way as long as you look on airless planets?

Nothing.
I tried Oddity briefly, decided it had nothing but downgrades to offer me and went back to Horizons.
All hope.
They always were, what you had were artificial POI's that didn't reflect the actual spread of vulcanism across a planet, the planets are now more realistic, so now you don't get 1 geo site on a planet the size of earth! We gave up nothing, we gained a superior simulation, some people can't handle that and would prefer the old way back, remember the cries and whimpering when the ADS was replaced by the FSS?
Nothing. I gained a whole new world within a world that already existed, and loving it!
No they have been given the superior simulation treatment as well and no longer appear as isolated bunches in an area of millions of square kilometers in size!
Everything else it seems.
I GAINED the fact that I now have to search for geo and bio sites - a massive IMPROVEMENT over being given a google pin to go to.
You're welcome

You're talking about Horizons bio sites, right? I haven't actively searched for them so far, since EDO's launch I haven't come across them yet although I'm sticking mainly to the bubble still so maybe that's why.
FD gave us legs, but left out the heart and soul to go with them.
Heart and Soul are not given - they are a reward from the journey - one day you will realise they have always been there!
And what about the Mos Eisley soul that FD so desperately want and need? Why is it every concourse is souless?
Legs gave us a human POV, and neglected to give that perspective a personality.
My useless metaphore got quoted - wooooooo!
I do agree there though - stations and starports (mostly) feel a bit dead and generic...
I gave up boring, samey, plasticine planets, and pointless 'click and fly' mats farms! Oh, and all my gaming time is now consumed by Odyssey, so I guess I lost that too...
I don't mind searching for them but using some appropriate tools for the job would be realisticI GAINED the fact that I now have to search for geo and bio sites - a massive IMPROVEMENT over being given a google pin to go to.
You're welcome
Correct horizons treatment of bio/geo sites was broken
But it is a Spaceship simulation, surely the technology exists so I would be able to get a vague idea (couple 1000 square klms) of where the bio/geo sites are based on Oh i don't know outgassing from fumaroles, biological markers in the atmosphere ... you know what's that stuff called? ... oh yeah science
don't have a problem having to spend time orbiting a planet adjusting the scanners etc but the idea i should just fly around randomly in a ship cable of superluminal travel, to find sites detectable from another planet using optical and radio telescopes (even now by 21st century humans) seems slightly backwards
Yes the concourse is just a big menu. Largely pointless. Even the view gets dull fast.
Yeah - I can see you now in your DBX with the square mile array attached to it to discover geological sites. Great analogy! Please tell me how slapping a cut/paste bio/geo site on the side of a mountain with a POI from space was remotely correct or realistic. It was added after insistent bleating from a vocal portion of the community - not because it was correct or realistic. Glad it's gone.
