Will we EVER get a REALLY GOOD LOOK at our SHIP? (Xbox One Version)

GG7 · Jul 7, 2015

The orange wireframe aside... I would really like to see what my ship actually looks like "In the Flesh" so to speak. Only view like this I seem to find is during outfitting, and that view is always of the front. I can't pan around and look at the details of the vehicle I just spent X millions of credits for.

Only time I ever see one in person is if I happen to fly by one coming or going at the same station I am at.

WHY are there no HANGER VIEWS, or whatever you want to call it? I would really like to get a real feel for what I am flying. The scale of the craft as compared to me as the human pilot etc.

Seems odd to me that after all this time, something so basic in most games is glaringly absent from what is otherwise an outstanding sim/game with a ton of potential on the Xbox One console!

Thanks in advance for fielding my suggestion.

Hold a certain face button(I foget which but try A first) and you'll see Debug Cam on LB, but only work'sw henn ot docked.

No, sorry to correct you Stealth Gamer92, but you can use the de bug cam in flight and while docked on the pad too. Looks great when your taking off and away from a station with your engine trails streaming behind you. It cant be used for combat though or while doing actual flight manoeuvres. But if you set up your ship going in a straight line (even in super cruise) it works.

EDIT: Oh wait, this is the XBox version GG7 is asking about? Mmmmm, not sure about that version. I sure hope it does. Check out the key bindings, hopefully they are there.

No in Xbox Debug Cam is Hold A + tap RB on d-pad, but docked A is locked to sellect in the menue's.

Thanks for that Stealth Gamer92. I think that's something FD will need to look at then. I know it must be tough trying to map so many controls to just one pad. In the meantime GG7 I would advise you ticket it. Here is a link <here>. And also a XBox focused FAQ if that is any help for future issues <here>.
