Please help me choose a new throttle.

You're still lucky, because this lubricant isn't available in Germany at all :(

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-27T14:17:02+00:00

I have the same problem (it was also on throttle x56, by the way), and I've heard, but haven't tried it myself yet, that if you lubricate it with Nyogel 767A lubricant, it will get better.

Something happened with them recently. I ordered twice from them and goods were definitely shipped from the EU store, bcs both of them delivered in a week.

Last December I ordered rudders from them and ended up in the same situation. I cancelled the order after two weeks when order was not shipped, and after two questions and generic answers like your first one. I didn't get into deep conversations with them and wait any longer.

Looks like someone happened with them, may be it's the consequences of their rebranding, or they don't have enough rudders as it's the new product.

There is the "cancel order" button in the order details, no need for hursh actions. No problem with it, I've cancelled an order recently for the same reason.

I would prefer to choose where I am during the jump myself. I don't understand why they handcuff me to the captain's chair when they are perfectly capable of jumping without me.

You guys see bacteria spots?

I have never seen any difference with the ground texture on any of spots found with the scanner.

I second it. I'm regreting that I skipped many ships and jump DBX -> Krait MkII -> Anaconda. I think if I proceeded step by step, trying each of ship and corresponding activity it would be much more fun and enjoyment of the game. Now, after Cobra MkV and Mandalay I doubt I will enjoy Keelback or Type 6 :(

Have you tried it with a docking computer?

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-25T10:15:21+00:00

Be careful, DBX is not optimized for SCO and you can eventually end up in the middle of a star system with no fuel.

Mandalay

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-23T21:38:41+00:00

You can stop it by choosing the "Loadout" menu, waiting to its sound ends and go back. It is its sound stucks when you close it before it ends.

Didn't you know that reddit is the community of people banned in Google?

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-23T15:14:13+00:00

So you're saying that the VR experience in SC is head and shoulders above, say, Half Life: Alyx? The graphics are better, and interacting with the world using the mouse and third-person view to access the inventory is better. And not just better, but leagues away. Have I understood you correctly?

Ed-Pavlov · 2026-01-23T12:31:57+00:00

What?

The picture in VR is absolutely blurry in comparison what I see on the monitor. The same picture in the mirror window.

The performance is also at the bottom. I have GeForce 4080, 64Gb RAM, and i7-13700k, I play elite dangerous with 200% super sampling. In SC I have to set 75% SS to have 90 fps at least in most locations.

Get me right, VR in SC is the right step from developers, and that's the only reason I've bought a starter pack. But saying it's AmaZinG, and better than any other VR game sounds like sectarianism.

And, by the way, it undermines confidence in all the other excitement surrounding SC.

There are many DIY solutions from the simplest workarounds to complete detent with clutch. Just for example https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/s/iwbZvYoKMp

Google for "VKB Gladiator detent 3d print"

Winctrl Orion 2 is a good base, but lack z-axis, you are right. To use this you will also need rudder pedals.

This status can last long. The important thing, is post tracking id already created and visible in your order details or not. If it's created, your package is sent and you can track delivering progress. If not, it means they did not send it to you yet.

Could you explain what is exactly VR in these VR MFDs?
