[@devilhacker2064]

These are the tutorials that newbies like me need. Thanks for making this series, its going to be a huge help.

[@SpacefaringChronicles]

Thanks for the feedback, it's encouraging to hear it's helping people out. I'm aiming get at least one or two videos out per week, ideally towards the end of the week so most likely between Thursday and Saturday

Excellent video. I keep coming back to Elite and wanting to make it a regular thing I enjoy. I bought an x56 HOTAS a year or so back and had been trying to learn it. Its difficult for a casual though figuring what controls do what (default mapping for x56). I also have a Meta Quest that I try to use for immersion. Any suggestions on how to get good without going broke? One wrong push of a button could destroy your ship or get you in trouble with bounties.

Thanks for the comment. I’m editing the next 2 videos in this series at the moment, aiming to get episode 3 out by this weekend hopefully. I’m tackling the different types of activities available in each video, so the next one is about tackling a mega ship scanning mission (reasonably easy) and then episode 4 we tackle basic bounty hunting. I’m hoping to get that out in the next 10 days (hopefully). Then after that it’s an odyssey on foot mission.

I give up... How do you activate your d-scanner?!😅

[@darkseraph2009]

First, you need to be in Analysis Mode. Press your cockpit mode switch hotkey until you switch from the orange combat mode to the blue analysis mode. Then, make sure you have the D-scanner set to a fire group. Do this in the right hand panel. Lastly, switch to the fire group you set your d-scanner to, and hold the fire button until the bar fills up, and you'll have scanned the system.

@darkseraph2009 thank you. I'll give that a go later today!

[@SpacefaringChronicles]

Thanks to @darkseraph2009 for answering already, but yes your discovery scanner needs to be in a fire group, if you haven't changed the default configuration of the Sidewinder when you start the game then that should be already done. Then when you're in flight switch between combat mode and analysis mode (default keybind on the PC for this is the 'N' key). Then your discovery scanner should be triggered by your primary trigger. That's the default setup.

Great series. Thank you very much. May I make a small suggestion? Your volume levels need to be balanced a bit more. The intro music is way TOO LOUD while your narration and music throughout the rest of the video are a bit TOO LOW in comparison to the intro. I had to crank up my volume to max to hear you clearly and then on the next video I watched in the series the intro music nearly deafened me. 😄 Please take this feedback as it's intended... just a friendly suggestion. Again great work and I'm sure it will help out a lot of new players. Keep it up.

[@SpacefaringChronicles]

Hey thanks for the feedback :-) I've had issues balancing the audio when making these videos. Out of everything required audio has been something of a nemesis. Currently working on the setup with a much better microphone and investment of time in the Audacity software.

The "A new opportunity" doesent show up for me, so I am wondering if this was a limited time thing or if I just jumped into missions before I could recieve it?

[@SpacefaringChronicles]

Having my reset my commander a couple of times to do the first starting out video I found I had to quit out of the game and then load it up again before the “A new opportunity” message came through.

@@SpacefaringChronicles TYSM!

[@SpacefaringChronicles]

I guess that worked? 😊

[@herring888]

@@SpacefaringChroniclesI logged out then back in and launched from the port chamberlains rest and immediately after I left the no weapons zone it popped up

[@151VolcoM]

I had the same issue. What i did was enter one of the terminals in the lobby area, and play around in it for about 5 min. Then it just popped up for some reason. I then boarded my ship and saw it displayed in the upper right. For super beginners like me, LOL, hit your middle mouse button then mouse up towards that area to access that part of the screen. I couldnt for the live of me figure that out for a bit. Once your in there hit Q, and E to move to the left and right instead of your arrow keys. I did all the practice missions and tut's, but there was just so much to absorb i forgot about that part.

Your music's too loud. You're ducking the music every time you talk, but the voice is SO low. You've got to turn the voice up too high, and when you stop talking, the music blasts, your ears..

[@SpacefaringChronicles]

Hey thanks for the feedback :-) I've had issues balancing the audio when making these videos, something was happening to the levels as part of the export from the editing software. Out of everything required audio has been something of a nemesis. Currently working on the setup with a much better microphone and investment of time in the Audacity software, can you let me know if the audio levels on the latest episode (ep6) are any better for you?
