Elite: Odyssey

Knightwolf 1785This makes me wonder how it's going to go for the Xbox and PlayStation commanders. More so on how the controllers are going to be setup and using some of the menus.

Elite controller owners bypass this dilemma. Especially if you have the series 2. Just load up your flight setup on one profile and the FPS setup on another. Just a quick button press on the controller to swap between.

Good luck to you PC folks figuring that out though

Yes, Fdev didn't wanna miss out on the sweet Console cash so they made Elite controller friendly (as they could) from the start.

if you're gonna build def go ryzen, from experience, all you need is an R3600, at least 16GB ram, SSD, and decent video card (good luck finding one in usa) I have two machines at my house. my main is 8700k@5.0 with 1080ti @2100 both water cooled and running amazing still okay. I bujlt a second machine for the family and it's R2600 & RX5700 and I'm blown away by this machine if you consider the price!

Have someone upgraded suit or weapons? I see that all mats can be found somehow and I just wondered is it worth the effort?

I am still trying to work out how.
I must be missing something.

Couple of people in game are saying the weapons are improved by them.

Just found schematics in a locked locker.

BensonWinifredyeah to switch back and forth between kb+m to hotas is a PITA especially if you have some custom set up but maybe these guys can be dedicated pilots and his friends the ground troops!


There is a program called Joystick Gremlin which sits between your hotas controller and the game controls. Essentially it converts Hotas input to keyboard commands. For those with Warthog, VKD or Virpil controllers it allows you to use the full range of control options beyond the 30-odd allowed by FD.

So it would be ideal to enable you to configure a profile to convert your Hotas input to keyboard input for Odyssey. It takes a while to figure out the best control mapping profile but after that it’s simple. You launch JG, activate your game profile, stick it on the taskbar and start ED. Bob’s yer Uncle!

YouTube has a lot of good tutorials about Joystick Gremlin, it’s profiling and use. I highly recommend checking them out. 07

Well, I can see stats are improving. It looks like it is a bit of a grind which I cannot justify for an alpha.

Doesn't the game switch profiles automatically? On-foot mode already has its own section in the controls settings.

I wouldn't know i can't play the alpha. I'm going off what's said here

Lambast MercyYes, Fdev didn't wanna miss out on the sweet Console cash so they made Elite controller friendly (as they could) from the start.


Not sure what you're taking about. Elite makes ZERO special compensation for my Elite controller, i simply took the time to make a totally custom layout and then i put in time on it.

Oh, you think that +/- controls in the menus and so on are very useful? Dude, the entire UI suffers from that special treatment for controllers.

My point still stands. No special considerations for Xbox Elite controllers were ever implemented into the game. Only HOTAS got that actually

*pointing out that im not talking about a regular controller at all. I'm taking about the officially licensed modded controller microsoft sells

the only thing im gonna do on foot is mess with people's missions, you guys know me, i have already seen the potential for GANKTOPIA, so when this thing hits live im gonna really , really love this game!!!! ( wait, is that even possible? more than now?)

i have almost everything there, sound card is soundblaster and cpu is intel i7-7700k i have 1tb ssd that one is western digital and a 7200rpm 1 tb seagate. I run at 5.2ghz water cooled and stable on a ROG motherboard, my only issue is im still on 10 series card and i cant get more than 15-20fps in crowded spaces on ultra settings for the life of me, i have tweeked it as far as it can take teewking before I start blue screening (including but not limited to dissabling all overcloks and runing base line, the whole procces of elimination shennanigans) i have 32gb or corssair RAM...is just this 1060...doesnt cut it anymore...Then holy fuck 3000 series are expensive as shit(the ones really worth it that is). Anyways settling for the 3060 eagle at 329$ for now because at least i have to keep up. Begs the question...is my i7 quad core with 8 logical processors going to suffer the same fate? (rhetorical question). How long you think i have before this becomes my backup computer and i have to go for a new build? That is the real question.

and yet, this is for testing, bug reporting...so give a chance to extensive try outs, instead of ending their test in 5 seconds...

you seem to forget the purpose of any alpha-testing

but of course you are the best in self-justification ....

OBVIOUSLY NOT...effort on alpha test? why if none of that proggress is real? you will be doing it just for the testing, wait for the real grind when it goes live then yes of course the materials are mandatory. Although my play style is gonna be just ganking mission runners and stealing stuff from them even i will need to do some grind to get stuff upgraded.
