Oolite Bulletins

Yes, i'm pretty sure it was the cougar about 7-9 seconds in. I'm playing TNK in solid objects mode, and the 'wings' were a solid yellow colour, so can't be 100% sure but the shape looks right. DH, what is that spherical rotating object with the 'portal' in the side in the video you posted? Another v...

Hi McLane - yes, it's not Oolite, presumably it's in the original elite as I think elite-TNK is a faithful copy of that. However it isn't listed on Ian Bell's site in the ship's section, and also doesn't appear in the demo section when elite TNK is first started and the various ships/stations appear...

Hi folks, Not sure if this is the right forum, but it isn't Oolite so maybe qualifies as off-topic. Also not sure if we're allowed to discuss TNK stuff here, will delete post if not. Anyway - have just hyperspaced into G3 in anticipation of the thargoid mission coming up, and got attacked by a ship ...

Hi DaddyHoggy, Am on win7 64. Definitely no option within Oolite. I have just remembered I could install the xbcd drivers for this gamepad which I think would let me make the tweak, but they seem a major faff to install on this OS, as opposed to win XP. Anyway my CH flightstick arrived a couple of d...

Cheers Cap'n, that's done the trick. Just need to get the hand of flying with a joystick now!

Hi folks, Only very recently started playing with elite, and just got my new joystick for it. Of course I am still playing with the key mappings for the joystick. However as soon as I leave the station I can no longer use the F2 key to get into the joystick menu. Is there any way around this? I find...

Just thought i'd chime in as I was in exactly the same situation a few days ago. The CH sticks have a very good rep if you want to spend a hundred bucks or so, and the T16000 from thrustmaster seems to give the best feel of the cheaper sticks. This is all from internet searches, my CH arrives in a f...

Just wondered if there is a way to invert the joystick axis in oolite? I got a bit overenthusiastic this morning and splashed out on a CH flightstick and fully intend to have standard controls for that, but it won't be delivered for a couple of weeks. In the meantime I am using an xbox gamepad and s...

Thanks for the quick and very detailed replies guys. I tried editing the shipdata but as Eric says, it does not look good although technically it solves the problem. I did a fair bit of testing shooting the navigation buoy outside a coriolis station and realised that actually the laser is targeted r...

Hi all, First may I congratulate everyone who worked on this game for an amazing job done. I played frontier as a kid but only dabbled with original elite, and now want to see how far I can get with the strict original elite mode. One thing i've noticed is that the laser is not aligned with the cent...
