Elite: Dangerous - Station approach and docking

Показать описание

Nothing eventful here, just showing jumping into the Madyanmana system followed by flying in-system in "Supercruise" and finally docking at Doi Terminal. Skip to 2:00 to get to straight to the docking, which goes smoothly for once.

The docking is tidy, but I mess up the approach by impatiently overshooting and have to loop around to make a second final approach.

Note: I'm not using a Docking Computer module, but I still had flight assist on (which is on by default, though you can disable it for an authentic deathy Elite experience; really only something you'd want to do in combat for maneuverability).

Technical details:

* Recorded 4K (Ultra High Definition) with a GTX 980 on 3.2 Ghz i7 with settings at Ultra quality.
* This video has been down sampled and auto stabilized by the lousy software at YouTube (even thought I explicitly opted out of that, it went and wrecked it anyway).
* There is some blink-and-you'll-miss-it clipping through the cockpit in the video when I turn and look behind me, this cosmetic bug happens when you set you FOV a bit above the default (which is an in-game configuration option, so that really shouldn't happen).

I now know how to land all because of you 👌 thanks brother

Note: YouTube asked me if I wanted to let it "auto-stabilize" this footage, I said no, but it did it anyway and then asked me if I wanted to revert it (which it still hasn't done yet). So the clip is heavily cropped in places, lower quality, has artifacts that aren't in the original footage and lacks the juddering and shaking of your ships frame that happens in game (which is a shame, as it's very good at drawing you in and giving you a tactile relationship with your environment and specifically your ship).

This Video helped me figure out This Game just a little bit more, THX.

Just came back here to say that in 2021 I have finally worked out how to not to zoom past the station on super cruise approach every single time.

I just started this, the tower must have thought I was totally drunk. I used to play the original when I was about 6, it's just as frustrating getting used to docking now as it was then. *Now* the easy part is getting through the space dock, landing is the bastard now you can go inside the stations. Have to love it though.

Also, do you play with a controller? I have the Steam Controller and I get the feeling it might benefit from it.

After spending nearly 20 million on a freighter I had realised that I don't have a auto landing module, so I'm just stuck outside a station now.

Everything is so hard to do in this game. I've been trying to land at a space station for 30 minutes now and I'm so close now I can't use any speed but my slow default one which sill still take 15 minutes to arrive! What the hell am I supposed to do? I can't do what I did in the tutorial which is supercruise over to it and it stops me in the right place. Now I can't even do anything close to that accurate.
