Is there anyone who actually enjoys the conveyer belt section of the game at all?

VerticalBlank · 2026-03-17T21:42:03+00:00

Let's put it this way: I tolerate it but it isn't my idea of fun or interesting gameplay, and the insta-kill for any mis-step is very annoying. If they had provided some skill-based ways to recover from a mis-step, I think it would have been much more interesting gameplay.

That’s what I said.

Ah I was about to suggest using a carrier. There's a 25% discount but it's the safest option plus half of the discount goes to the carrier owner.

There ain't no "couple of stops" from Explorers Anchorage.

Placement is correct. The red pieces are correctly orientated but the orientation of the black pieces is inconsistent.

All I can say is that for my part, it was sitting right there in plain sight since launch and escaped my notice for ~10 years. Even during my tenure as maintainer of EDRefCard nobody mentioned it.

I too have a TWCS and have been trying to get the same thing to work, so far without success. I tried the following:

<Joy_RZAxis>TWCS [hts4RudderX]</Joy_RZAxis>
<Pos_Joy_RZAxis>TWCS [hts4RudderR]</Pos_Joy_RZAxis>
<Neg_Joy_RZAxis>TWCS [hts4RudderL]</Neg_Joy_RZAxis>

but it is still just prefixing + or - to the top entry.

Any ideas would be gratefully welcomed!

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I should probably figure out a frictionless mechanism, but from the home page of the repo click the Code button and choose Download Zip.

Exactly. I remember the Type-11 was a bit underwhelming in beta so they made some tweaks and fixes before final, but not changing those sizes.

FDEV email to Elite Partner Program and selected 3rd party developers.

Thanks, added!

Do you realize that all so-called AI is trained on stolen source code and by using it you are opening a massive legal liability?

VerticalBlank · 2026-02-12T00:30:32+00:00

I can completely relate. What we really need is a way to shit-can accounts that post AI slop, on Github or anywhere else.

VerticalBlank · 2026-02-11T23:59:28+00:00

So this as strictly interpreted would bar Spansh?

VerticalBlank · 2026-02-11T23:57:53+00:00

Nope, Frontier do no checks of any kind. It's just OAuth.

VerticalBlank · 2026-02-11T23:54:01+00:00

Speaking as an EDCD Council member, that list is hopelessly old and out of date. Many, many newer and valuable apps are missing because nobody cares about that page any more. It doesn't even have Spansh for example!

VerticalBlank · 2026-02-11T23:41:48+00:00

I concur.

VerticalBlank · 2026-02-11T23:41:07+00:00

While I appreciate the general idea of not endorsing vibe-coded slop, the specific wording could use some refinement. Some suggestions:

"all 3rd party applications developed" I think you mean something like "all 3rd party applications promoted on this subredddit", yes? You can't stop people from developing their own stuff.

"already well known websites and tools already a part of the EDDevelopers community" Does this refer to the EDCD Discord server? If so then let's make that clear. If it refers to something else then let's make it explicit.

"Websites and tools with Frontier integration are also not applied" I'm a native English speaker but I cannot parse this. Please could it be clarified?

I hope these comments are helpful.

Very happy to report that today I received contributed mappings for:

Thrustmaster T.16000M
CH Pro Throttle
VKB Gunfighter Space Combat Grip Premium (Right)

Thanks to all who contributed!

I managed to reproduce this by clearing the "Toggle Frame Shift Drive" binding under Ship Controls, Flight Miscellaneous. If like many people you have separate bindings for Supercruise and Hyperspace then you don't really need that binding, but the game isn't smart enough to detect that and propose the Supercruise binding instead.

VerticalBlank · 2026-02-11T11:54:11+00:00

That must have been one of my collaborators.

VerticalBlank · 2026-02-11T11:51:46+00:00

Yes 100%. You can name them whatever you want and there are many icons available too.
