don't think that's implemented yet, but will be at some point.

 

[Noxia]

Oh cool, I'm enjoying it so far, it's hard but it doesn't have that horrid complexity of the X3 games.

 

[sWiZzLe]

Anymore got a how to of silent running.

 

[Glaucus]

Thanks, will check that out, and I expect his others.

Yes, it's not very clear it is unless you happen to read the update notes displayed...

Woke up to play Elite only to find my headphones had locked up with all LED's lit up, so I spent the day playing the game in silence. Im upto 57K in credits so Im nearly ready to buy my first ship (hauler).
It is a bit of a grind, but it is enjoyable, very enjoyable....

 

[seabiscuit]

Ok, so finaly got the EDTracker working. It certainly makes a dogfight easier to keep track of. Definitly worth geting hold of one.

 

[Raumarik]

EDTracker/Trackir/NofacetrackIR are nice when docking too, helps you find that damn landing spot quickly

 

[SPG]

Enjoying this so far, mission 3 atm

 

[Glaucus]

Ok, might need to put the joystick down.
Dreamt about ED last night, had to give a lecture about flight physics actual vs in game, punishable by death if I failed

So how does this work exactly? Do you have to wear it or does it track head movements or something?

 

[ElliorR]

Yes you wear it, seems strapping it to a headset is popular, if not the only real method, and it detects your head movements.

 

[JGBR]

going to wait of this to be released , as I also didn't want to plough hours of work in for it then to wiped!

 

[hyperseven]

I am surprised that Saitek/MadCatz have not done a promotional deal with Frontier, it would make good symbiotic marketing sense.

 

[sWiZzLe]

Just sold my Anaconda and bought a Viper for the first time, skipped buying to make some money... Viper is sooooooooooooo much fun

 

[dr_volki]

Well just as my hauler was full of gold 3 cobras join the area and shoot me down
