Zoom Button & Multiple configuration

[Rowley Birkin]

Hey Frontier, I have a couple of suggestions:

1) Could us VR users have a zoom button so that whilst it's depressed the FOV is halved to improve legibility of menu text.

2) Can we also have two configuration profiles, one for use when playing on screens and one for when we are playing in VR, perhaps a VR tickbox on the Elite Dangerous launcher...

What do you think? Anyone agree these additions would help (or not)?

Thanks for listening!

For #2 I created a simple batch file to copy\restore my custom ED configs, bindings, and Reshade cfg's. One batch file for single monitor, another for triple monitor, and a third for my DK2 setup. Also useful for restoring my settings after a patch.

Hi L@neWolf

That sounds useful, what file(s) do i need to copy/move/swap etc to do this? (non steam install + Windows 7)

Thanks!

Does EDDS still work it stopped loading for me after I updated Elite to 1.3 i think. Would love to get it working again its an awsome tool.

No to number 1 - whats wrong with leaning in to read stuff....? Zoom buttons are very immersion breaking.

Not fussed about number 2 - I never play without VR enabled.

EDDS is good, but I quickly realised I wanted more control for my various setups, and as an after patch quick restore. Note, a couple of files included are not really necessary eg. Custom.fxcfg, I could create a better tool, but was only looking for a quick fix for myself. I keep a batch file and relevant custom files in a separate folder for each profile I have.

• "USERNAME" is your username for windows
• Your E-D install path may differ, and\or "FORC-FDEV-D-1002" may be different for your E-D purchase. 1002 is for Beta.
• "LoneWolf-Warthog-MFG.binds" is my Custom Default Bind which is available as a drop down select within E-D, which makes "Custom.binds" somewhat redundant (both files are actually identical in my usage).

I keep a copy of the Reshade default install files separate as only need to copy them after an E-D patch

I offer below only as a reference of a simple way to maintain all your custom E-D configurations where EDDS may not be sufficient...

If you go this route please keep a backup of all your original files!
