No, it's a continuously updated console message, so it goes wherever your HUD shows messages. It shouldn't get in the way of other messages though; Oolite's native messages appear for three seconds, and ETA updating is paused for four seconds each time one is shown. If I've overlooked a particular type of message and they're clashing, please tell.barge411 wrote:Is it possible to move the text away from the bottom edge of the screen, to say about mid way up one edge (left or right).
Otherwise it gets in the way of other messages and flicks on and off.

Talkative Space Compass. If the ETA indicator is on, then the talkative description is wiped and replaced by the generic one by Destination ETA. I'm not sure which OXP would have to be modified - this one or Talkative Space Compass or both - so I've cross-posted this. Maybe the two can be merged into one OXP? Perhaps would also be more immersive if both upgrades had to be purchased.Oh nice. I haven't, no. Those are just about all the options I was thinking of adding... I'll check it out, thanks!spara wrote:Have you tested the Updating TSC?
No, it's changes to the torus drive, which no longer has a fixed speed. The ETA can jump unexpectedly as the speed steps up or down.CommRLock78 wrote:Has anyone been using this with Oolite 1.81? I think the changes to the coordinate system's precision have affected this OXP.
I must have missed that in the changelog... I'll have to go over it again. I wonder why that was changed, anywayWildeblood wrote:No, it's changes to the torus drive, which no longer has a fixed speed. The ETA can jump unexpectedly as the speed steps up or down.
That's a frickin' great idea. I just switched to Coluber HUD the other day from the Deep Space HUD. Looks like I've got some playing around to doWildeblood wrote:In other news, replace the console message with a data source for a custom text dial on the HUD for an improved experience. See my HUD Data - Ship Name if you need a simple example of how to make a custom dial.
To cut down RL time it takes when flying looong distances, the game subtly speeds you up when there's nothing around.CommRLock78 wrote:I must have missed that in the changelog...

Except it ain't subtle, and destroys the effect of having long distances.spara wrote:To cut down RL time it takes when flying looong distances, the game subtly speeds you up when there's nothing around.CommRLock78 wrote:I must have missed that in the changelog...

I agree. I'm a bit of grumpy old man when it comes to changes in the game, and I've even come to really like some of the changes I didn't like at first, but it does ruin the whole long distance thing in space.Wildeblood wrote:Except it ain't subtle, and destroys the effect of having long distances.
