The only trouble I had was getting hold of the installer. All done, and my 300i looks very nice. Bit boring apart from that...

It did open up on my triple monitor setup perfectly, but I messed with some buttons and lost the triple monitor thing - I bet that'll be updated soon anyway. I like the way they are releasing the game like this, and I wonder if they are going to bung in a chat thingy in the Hangar so you can phone a friend while you're banging you head against the walls lol.

How do you even look inside ?

I managed to get it going finally took a loooooooooooooong time and it crashes heaps.

I couldn't even rebind keys. I saw the "use" icon come up but no key does anything, mouse does not do anything, I pressed every key on the keyboard nothing.

Why does it want to talk to the internet ? It's already authorised to download but it insists on being online for me at least.

Havent managed to get it to even start yet, first it wouldn't download, now it's downloaded it won't connect.
Trying again now, it's applying patches, so will see..
not too bothered to be honest, just a bit curious....it's not as if there's a game there yet.

Edit: it works now, not much to see, just my one measly ship...but it's there. A bit buggy and lot's of clipping on your character model when using the cockpit or the bed, but it's not even alpha yet.
Hope they let you rebind your keys in future.

Same re issues crashing,not connecting, download etc (which is why I like it all standalone).

When it DID start....I can't go inside any ship. Some people apparently can though. I can click as much as I like, press every key but I can't get onboard.

I'm sure the rebind will be present eventually, this is just to get us something to look at, at present.

I saw the "poster" and couldn't help myself...

Brian? You are a naughty boy! :D

I also noticed that the hanger I've got is really dark, grimy and moody looking. I've got the cheap "discount" version, but I like it better than the more flashy options the more expensive ships have.

Must say the hangar does need more lighting - but there is a handy lamp for sale in the shop at the fortuitous price of 5k! Think I'll keep the cash though.

I could get in the ship, I even found an invisible ladder that let me climb up to look at it from above

I climbed that one. Also, am I the first person to make it into space? I've got a lovely screengrab of me in mid ladder-climbing pose, with a starfield and the local star in the background, after I went all floaty and no-clipped out of the hangar. Sadly it's not the prettiest of sky-boxes, but then we weren't supposed to see it.

Hmmm

Ok well it must be me, I must just be stupid.

My ship has a ladder than extends down but the hatch above the ladder is closed. When you go near the ladder you get an icon saying "use"

Nothing I press does anything.

Please help....what do I do now ?

I only have 1 ship that came with my pledge. I will not pay for more ships, I'll earn them in game.

It is called the M.I.S.C Freelancer.

It is an exploration ship but can also look after itself in a scrape I hope.

UPDATE: Looks like Commander Stupid (ie me) just figured it out. I need to press "F" when the "use" icon comes up.

Wish there was a way to turn off the motion blur. When I look around (not being able to rebind to the arrow keys) it blurs before it redraws...pity I can't turn that off..........

I got into the ship, look around, can't do much bar sit in the chairs and in the hanger I can go in the elevator and walk around...that's about it. I love the music too...very military. I like it.

I would check on the SC forum, perhaps with regards to the MISC Freelancer' there is special knack for entering it, certainly I have seen screenshots on there of folk who have that ship and they must have gotten into somehow. Again though it might be a bug. All those patches the hanger downloaded must have been on the spot hot fixes the dev team noticed at the last minute, so maybe what you need is another patch? Wish I had gotten that ship now, it seems the most "Cobra MkIII-a-like" multi-role ship in the game. :(

I edited my post above as I was able to get in.

Yes it really reminds me of a Cobra. Small ship behind the cockpit there are two bunks. total of 4 control seats inside. There is a LOT of detail inside, I walked into the back opened the rear cargo door had a look around. Just the ladder strut where you walk up has so much detail on it.

Also setting graphics to low/very high makes no difference at present. I'm only mentioning it here in case it might be different to everyone else.

Would be good if there was a keylist as well.
I have found
-F1 changes view but if you are sitting in the cockpit then it swaps to external view
-ESC quits
-WASD changes direction (I need to rebind these but it is not possible...being left handed I need those controls on the right side)

Can't use it offline though (sigh). If you turn off internet access kiss goodbye to running it. :(

I also just come from the SC chat....goodness it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a conversation there, there are 5-7 posts PER SECOND....you can't keep up.

Anyway here is a list of graphic commands like turning blur off etc.

https://forums.robertsspaceindustrie...gs-tweaking/p1

Briefly
1. Press ` to get into the console (the key to the left of the 1 or under the ESC key)
2. type in r_MotionBLur 0 to turn it off.

To adjust the framerates in case you are on a laptop like me (as this is my only computer)
1. r_VSync
2. sys_MaxFPS 30

and it will be better. :)
These are all thanks to the poster on the thread I've included above.

If you don't want to always type them in look for the system.cfg file that should be in your starcitizen directory and simply add those lines in.

For resolution change thanks to Diceman on the SC forums, use

r_width =
r_height =

My laptop has a VERY odd resolution of 1366x768

My hanger is nice and bright not sure why your one is dark. I see it costs $40 to upgrade to the deluxe hanger <sigh>

I'll also say this.
It is EXTREMELY disappointing you have to pay a subscription $10 - $20 USD per MONTH to get Star Citizen video updates. That is not on really. After the KS we have basically had very little updates on video and I was trying to see some of the wingman updates as they call it....sorry...unless I pay $20US per MONTH I can't view them.

That's nonsense. You need to slow down, take a deep breath and actually look into some of this properly because you're jumping to conclusions (aka going off half-cocked).

Here is the RSI YouTube channel where you will find (currently) 183 videos including all of the Wingman's Hanger series for free.
