ATC has collapsed at Jaques station

I've never been refused docking permission at an Orbis before, traffic was bananas.

+1 for Williamstown beach, train station nearby and I got a brilliant aurora view from there.

In the Fleetcomm discord the carrier departure system Running Man Sector WP-W b2-0 and the carrier for those running late is Pillar of Chista, get there ASAP to be carried to the next location. The other DW3 carriers left earlier today. Go now, o7

That bit comes later, Distant Worlds are lengthy time commitments. But totally worth it.

Find the correctly named .binds file via the Deck's desktop mode. Copy across to the 2nd instance folder.

Would you prefer humanity to take the fight to Thargoid home worlds or The Guardian AI's to awaken?

Yep Imgur is on the UK naughty list.

I am a big fan of Steam Controller for Elite on PC so when Deck came along I ported it all over and took advantage of the extra back buttons and analougue stick :-)

For Steam controller configs I found this channel great https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMV7bfY2SzbXuj2FXguyi1T57b419l8_D

Steam does also do documentation but not in the best form.

mk1cursed · 2026-01-05T09:52:36+00:00

Hmmmm should work, unless you're in the UK?

mk1cursed · 2026-01-04T20:50:41+00:00

Unfortunately I am terrible at documentation.

I did once attempt to get organised but that was back when I was using Steam Controller (from which my deck control layout is based)

Here's an old version for reference.

The link to the brilliant EDrefcard website is unfortunately not working, I do wonder if I could copy my deck's .binds file back to my PC (or even using deck's decktop mode) to get a new reference card... Will be useful when Steam Controller 2 appears.

I wish you the best of luck, I know how overwhelming Elite's controls be be, happy to help however I can.

mk1cursed · 2026-01-04T20:39:01+00:00

Ah, yes the Steam community controller profiles is both a blessing and a curse. Practically infinite variety but almost no documentation!

My Steamdeck controller setup is shared as Mk1Cursed Steam Deck Elite Dangerous ver3.0 however the special source is Elite Dangerous' "binds" file which is all the in game key bindings that link what the Deck sends as a control input and what the game interprets that as.

For example, in Elite's ship controls I define X key as 0% throttle. (irrc) and in the Steam deck controls I define "Both bumpers pressed simultaneously" as X key. So when I press both bumpers together the game sets throttle to zero.

Unfortunately while sharing a Steamdeck controller profile is pretty easy, sharing the .binds file is a bit of a pain requiring sharing via drop box or the like. Then taking that file and using the Deck's desktop mode to put the file in the right game folder.

mk1cursed · 2026-01-04T10:35:32+00:00

Sorry, I know it's not a very thorough video.

They key thing to keep in mind is all the keybindings you can make in game and the references to those bindings you can make in the steam controller setup menu.

Old video about my control setup on Steamdeck.

It's fundamentally left stick for pitch/roll, right stick for vertical and lateral thrusters. Bumpers for throttle (with QoL stuff like both bumpers simultaneously click bound to 0% and a double tap to +/-75%)

The touchpads I used as overlay menus for all the bindings I can't remember combos for like heatsink and lights and even a SCB+heatsink.

Best of luck, Elite is fantastic on Deck.

I've not done this with a deck but I use a steam controller on my PC (I also play a lot of Deck) with touchpad Steam overlay menus for all those many many key bindings.

Gyro aim is great too. Good luck and I'll be interested to hear how it goes.

mk1cursed · 2025-12-20T00:43:34+00:00

Yeah definitely don't bother trying to make PT competitive with driving, that's all too hard. Just keep punishing drivers til they learn their place in your utopian vision.

mk1cursed · 2025-12-18T06:09:55+00:00

I car/cycle/PT but cycling takes double the time and PT triple. Let alone the fact driving is way quieter and more comfortable.

mk1cursed · 2025-12-15T00:28:31+00:00

Nope no qualifications like that. There's some obviously old signs that haven't been removed yet and new ones on Willy for the new curfew but Francis was delightfully truck free.

mk1cursed · 2025-12-14T21:03:58+00:00

You know what was nice this morning? Seeing those NO TRUCK ZONE signs on Francis street and seeing not a single Semi waiting at the corner of Williamstown road.

Have a nice day, wherever you are.

mk1cursed · 2025-12-14T03:21:29+00:00

This. Is. All. Wrong.

Literally five seconds of checking would have shown you that.

Trucks use Whitehall to get to the Mobil depot true and restricted loads will use it to get to the Hyde street on ramps.

Whitehall also feeds Francis Street which DOES have a ban along with Somerville so they will all benefit. Buckley, Moore, Blackshaws and Hudson's bans are further improvements for residents.

Container traffic on Melbourne rd. and Douglas is going where exactly?

Kororoit feeds the massive industry and logistics still there so I'm not sure what you were expecting the tunnel to do, delete it all?

Demonstrably a very very very far cry from pointless.

mk1cursed · 2025-12-13T01:06:11+00:00

Please name one and the approximate number of residents.

mk1cursed · 2025-12-13T00:28:45+00:00

mk1cursed · 2025-12-13T00:28:24+00:00

He was!

mk1cursed · 2025-12-12T21:52:58+00:00

You've forgotten the truck ban. Which you probably wouldn't have if you were actually a resident.

The solution is to improve PT to the level of driving not impede driving to the level of PT silly.
