<grins> If I had any, they'd have been used by now - I've been gathering new components, one by one, for the last nine months.
I ordered the final piece of the jig-saw last night, so I'll be building a (mostly) new machine next month - if I don't blow it!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
Yep, replacing the gfx card should be a straightforward job - you can probably get a suitable budget card for about £100 (or less).
Who knows, perhaps your current rig will run it acceptably anyway.

Well, there's acceptable, and then there's awesome I might spend a couple hundred bucks for awesome.
I just hope the requirements don't increase as the upgrades happen.
For anyone who installs the E:D beta and gets a message about a missing xinput1.3.dll when they try to run the game, it turns out that the dll is an optional component that may not be installed by default. Certainly the DirectX 11 that came with my Win7 install doesn't include it.
The solution is to download and run the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Microsoft. Although it says it's just for DX9c, it will download and install a whole bunch of missing optional DX files, after which, E:D will run correctly.
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
I'm running a Q6600 OC to 3.2GHz, 4GB ram and a GTX 560Ti . this should run it with reasonable detail?

Decided what the hell.. waiting would only save me $30.. and I made $50 today fixing a guys computer driver problem, so I've just bought the beta and LEP.
(not to mention that he won't be picking up his computer for a couple of days, and it's a brand-new, state-of-the-art $4000 gaming beast.. way better than my laptop.. so I'll give it a quick test-run on his machine, then uninstall it before he collects it.. )
Well, that was fun.. while it lasted. Boy, it runs well on that beast.. got through most of the solo missions. Incursion was the only one still giving me trouble..
But the client has now picked up his machine, and my poor little dual-core laptop won't touch it, so now it's game over until I can build a new rig. In the meantime, I'll build me an EDTracker, and see what I can do with it in Oolite..

You think Oolite would recognize it?
It's essentially just another joystick, so it should work. Whether steering your ship by turning your head will really catch on or not, I don't know.
Well, I know Oolite can support more than one joystick at a time.. what I'm curious about is, can I tell Oolite to do other things with the extra axes on a second stick? For instance, could I get it to switch between left, right and forward views, freeing up the hatswitch for something else?
And if not, then I want to request that Oolite support extra axes in novel ways.. the EDTracker is very cheap to make.. if Oolite could take advantage of it, it would open up all kinds of possibilities.
