EDEngineer VS EDDI

yes, lots of people. there are threads about it on the github page actually. heres an example: https://github.com/msarilar/EDEngineer/issues/132

this is worth watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkr8wWW94dw in conjunction with this https://github.com/msarilar/EDEngineer which lets you set up a shopping cart for end-result engineering and where to get it.

If you're going to be doing engineering, you might consider using an app like EDEngineer to keep track of what materials you need. EDEngineer lets you pick what engineering you want to do from a list, and then it looks at your inventory and maintains a "shopping list" of materials you need to get for the engineering you want to do.

You can use the EDEngineer application to keep track of your ship's materials inventories, what materials you need for specific mods, etc. o7

https://github.com/msarilar/EDEngineer <- A great way to make shopping lists for when/If you ever get seriously into engineering.

I'd also recommend using EDEngineer to specify which engineering upgrades you're going for, because EDEngineer will generate you a shopping list of precisely which materials you need (and the list updates itself in real time as you gather mats).

Alternatively, because Elite doesn't bother to tell you why, download and use a program called EDDI. It will tell you why you aren't able to dock. If it's purely betno pads are available, just wait. It will tell you if the size requirements aren't right either.

If you are exploring in the black, mapping new systems, you would also need to run something like EDDI or EDDLite configured to send data to ESDM.net for the best experience.

It is still best to use something like EDDI or EDDLite to send data EDSM but ICARUS Terminal will blend that data with your local scan data to provide real time updates to a second screen as you explore when using a Discovery Scanner, Full Spectrum Scanner or Surface Scanner.

This. Voice Attack + EDDI integration can do it:

GitHub link for EDDI. I love this program. It's my COVAS on steroids and is customizable to the extreme. Official Forum link for EDDI

Elite Dangerous Data Interface

EDDI as a plugin for VA which gives you access to loads of variables and statuses within VA to build commands with. For example {BOOL:Status lights on} would tell you if vehicle lights are on or off. (Note it should automatically start as plugin with VA, it can be started standalone but it's very talkative by default and will conflict with VA).

One such software is the Elite Dangerous Data Interface (EDCD/EDDI). There are others too like the EDMC. Once configured. EDDI integrates data with several different 3rd-party resources such as EDDB, EDSM, EDDN, VoiceAttack and others.
