FlyDangerous VS EDDiscovery

It was never really intended to be a replacement (all the plant stuff happened way after I started work on it!) but rather a fun little training ground side-project which has slowly become its' own thing. That said if you wanna help drive the direction of the development, we discuss a lot of features and stuff on the discord and the game is open source so please feel free to get involved in whatever ways you can (even if that's just lending your opinion on the current state of the game or filing bugs or whatever!) <3

Yeeeah that took me a while to get used to as well (actually got used to the game flat screen first, that definitely helped!) but when I did I started working on a whole game around the concept because I love flying like a lunatic in VR :D

Yes! That's on the roadmap

Oh lord, I learned this the hard way and it consumed my life for months.

As usual the code for this flight controller is here and is reliant on a flight assist model detailed here.

It's smooth because it's pretty simple, and the floating origin script operates in fixed update and everything using it subscribes to an event to make sure all corrections are in the same timestep.

EDDiscovery

That's one of the things I like about EDDiscovery's text-to-speech plugin, when you're jumping to a system where you'll arrive at a white dwarf / neutron star it gives you an audible warning to throttle down during your hyperspace jump. Something along the lines of "Warning: star is dangerous. Throttle down now!"

EDDiscovery or EDMC to update the EDDN and have useful information at your fingertips. I prefer EDDiscovery, hugely useful for explorers. Link your account to keep your info up to date and keep the community up to date to allow nearly all these other tools to work.

YouTube, Reddit, and the forums are your friend, there are also many the third party sites and applications available to help you to navigate and locate facilities within the game. The most commonly recommended site is Inara and the applications recommended to support it are ED Market Connector or ED Discovery. The applications send market data that Inara use to keep track of the trade markets, they include search functions which help you to find what stations have what services, including what ships and modules are available. Inara can also track your commander data to if you make an account and link it to your Frontier account.

(In case you haven't done so yet I suggest running EDDiscovery or EDDLite so it'll be recorded/updated to EDAstro.)

On PC I was using EDD, which integrates with sites like Inara.cz

My personal choice at the moment is EDMC; it has plugin support with some being very useful for exploration. Already mentioned is EDDiscovery - this is a more 'full on' tool but it's packed with features. There's also a new-ish one I've not yet tried myself that's designed to be far more light-weight; EDDLite.

Oh also a great utility to have installed if on PC is EDDiscovery it provides a ton of information that can be very useful. If you ever setup accounts on 3rd party sites such as EDSM, Inara, Coriolis, ED Shipyard, ED Astro, or EDDN Network among others it can integrate with those accounts as well!

If you run ED Market Connector or ED Discovery in the background, they send the market data that Inara uses to track commodity prices.

EDDiscovery, Organic scans window/tab. It will also tell you the total value before the bonus.
