I found the auto crosshairs OZP and it works well on local station traffic, haven't tried it in combat yet.

Erm well it's not too accurate at long distance, the Custom Shields is working well though.

... or colour change to the crosshairs when you hit ( even better if you're on target ) would be great in my silent ooniverse. Doesn't the Scanner Targeting Enhancement turn the target reticle red when on target? I found the auto crosshairs OZP and it works well on local station traffic, haven't tr...

...the script could trigger a HUD feature. Changing the cross-hairs seems appropriate to me. I can add this into Auto Crosshairs OXZ if it can be done without being more trouble than it's worth. P.S. I've found my previous experiment with shipAttackedOther: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=3...

Just a quick question about the Heads Up Display: Is there a HUD that gives a visual signal if your lasers hit the target? - I often play in the living room and the missus and the kids are fed up with the noise, but also the missus gets annoyed if I wear headphones (on account of the fact that I wil...

I use the Dpad, it's the best flight control. I switch the wiggly things off (except for the "press" option which is another button).

Nice review - thanks.
You might add that Oolite is quite at home on Linux as well as Windows and Mac.

Done and done

It's my website name

I've seen you like UFO Enemy Unknown, too. Maybe you should check openxcom.org

Oh DON'T, I'm already spending far too much time playing computer games (according to my family but not to me). It sounds good though, better check it out

Bet if you knew you are stuck with that user name you'd choose something shorter. This is the first forum where I've been able to use the whole name! I usually end up with cpcg101 which is like c3po's dad or something. It's my website name so it's nice for me, I'm used to typing it all the time so ...

I've been decorating. Added "additional planets" and "distant suns", really nice combi. Also explorer club and "your ad here" (although I'm not sure where yet). Tried a couple of huds but couldn't beat the default. This is really great. Gagging to buy the rest of the s...

Sadly my downloads aren't working. I'm not sure why - I don't have winzip or java which might be the problem but when I try to download any of the mods internet explorer stops working. Are you using the current version of Oolite - v1.80? This has an in-game expansions manager which automatically do...

Lots of good advice, nice community. Sadly my downloads aren't working. I'm not sure why - I don't have winzip or java which might be the problem but when I try to download any of the mods internet explorer stops working. Still, the raw game is good enough for me. As a veteran of Elite on the commod...

Thanks for the advice, how can I tell what missions are available without additional downloads?

There are some in-built missions - see [wiki]Oolite Missions[/wiki] (the in-built native missions are listed first).

Excellent, thanks for your help.
