looks like the issue came 2 years ago
My update was stuck at that stage for a while - eventually it started, I guess the update servers are getting a lot of traffic.at the moment, it wont update
just says "preparing update"
New drives are available for in-game credits now, no ARX needed. Definitely a longer jump range than equivalently engineered normal drives. I haven't paid much attention to the other stats like power draw, so I'm not sure if they're an unambiguous upgrade over normal drives, or if there are still trade-offs.whether the new FSD will also be locked behind the cash store for 3 months, i am not sure ... it maybe you will be able to get the FSD in game as well from this afternoon in which case "yay" but if not, i think the preengineered ship with it on is around £15 worth of ARX. (I will be waiting)
ill put it on in the morning and leave it runningMy update was stuck at that stage for a while - eventually it started, I guess the update servers are getting a lot of traffic.
you should get one of the (semi) official voice packs for it... they really add to the experience, loads of actors have made packs for it. if there is one you specifically fancy but its a bit pricey just keep eye on them, they often have offers. You do also need the full version of voice attack however, the freebie version wont cut it.I've discovered the joy of voice macros. Saves me going to menu because I forgot which joystick button I mapped to something and then looking at my printout that shows me which joystick button is which.

fair enough, am not doubting it works, but the HCS ones are really good and imo worth the money - esp if on offerWhat I am using is completely free though as it's open source.

out of curiosity do you ahve a link to your free one?
the voice packs are 2 things in 1.... the 1st part which is technically "free" but bundled is what you are using, so it has 100s of different commands it recognises from target next vessel, engage supercruise through to request docking, open galaxy map or what ever.
the 2nd part is the voice recorded part which is the bit you officially pay for. in reality all it is is flavour, but it makes a massive difference imo and really completes the package.
so for instance, if you say enter supercruise, you may get a reply saying, acknowledged, firing up drive & preparing to engage.
but the thing which makes them so good (imo) is there are multiple recordings (iirc like 2500 in total) so it does not say exactly the same thing all of the time. Some of the packages are more science based, so you can ask your science officer to give you a report of the system you are in.
full disclosure, i have one of the old ones, pre oddyssey. i need to pay if i want to upgrade mine to include all of the new stuff on planets surface, however i havent bothered (yet). voice commands make less sense to me when i am on my own and on foot, rather than in my ship anyway. (though i am sure having a voice in my helmet when doing exobiology could be immersive. i dont need to give a voice command however to release my gun from my holsteri like the sound of this !
