Elite: Dangerous Dev Tracker

I suspect they sulking because Sally snagged the Senior Community manager's job 😁

Over a year and three months later?!
Paul wouldn't hold a grudge for 5 minutes let alone over a year. I'd be vaporised within 2 seconds of a grudge held by Paul.

Another Known Issue in the above notes has been updated:
[LIST]
[*]Head tracking for TrackIR and FreeTrack is currently disabled. The team are investigating.
[LIST]
[*]In reference to on foot gameplay only. TrackIR and FreeTrack still work as intended whilst in ship.
[/LIST]
[/LIST]

Commanders!

More info added to the known issue below for you. I've added this to the notes above too:
[LIST]
[*]When viewing the mission board on foot, a number of missions are displaying their location information incorrectly.
[LIST]
[*]This issue appears to be primarily related to Odyssey settlements as the target for missions. If the mission directs you to a POI location, the planetary information is displayed correctly.
[*]In some instances distances to missions may be flagged as 0.00Ly rather than Ls and planetary bodies may appear as a long string of numbers.
[/LIST]

The team are eyes on o7

Hi Sally, our Flower! Is there any hope for the CQC - community for fixing the issue with the CQC matchmaker?

"Dis Acoustic, post: 10241162, member: 229758"

Will there be another update at some point in which the letters CQC will appear in the patch notes? And if so, in which direction will they tend? A few honest words on this would be really nice.

Appreciate the passion still, Commanders! There's no current news regarding CQC but if there's anything to report in the future we'll get right on it o7

Got a problem with both 2e ax missile racks not firing. The 4x 3c ax missiles are ok

Is there an issue tracker for this one with the details, Tywin?

"Cmdr Tywin Lannister, post: 10241204, member: 39410"

They worked fine before the update

Ok no worries but is there an issue tracker I can take please :)?

Would you mind listing some precise steps for me on this one please, Crasher?

Aha! https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/61992 < Contributions welcome! o7 Thank you!

It seems that accepting missions sends you too many menus back after this new update

Would you mind listing some precise steps for me on this one please, Crasher?

"Angus McSix, post: 10241082, member: 301738"

Has the issue concerning plotting a hyperspace route using a boosted FSD been resolved? I couldn’t find any indication in the patch notes.

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/61172

Hey Angus. I made sure to repeatedly mention the stance on current issues that may not be in the notes as part of the notes and future comments. I hope those mentions help!

Commanders,
As more of you begin to buckle up, please do be aware that there's a possibility that there may be the odd disconnect here and there during these early moments since release.
Fear not, we're monitoring and the team are keeping a keen eye on making sure stability is maintained as best possible for you o7
Thank you for your patience as always if you are impacted.

Greetings Commanders!

Would you look at that! Approx 15 minutes to go until the release of Update 17. A little warm up:
[LIST]
[*]We are on target with the schedule! No changes to the 15:00 release time so let's keep going!
[*]With Update 17 please do know that, as with all updates, the return of the servers can be a little on the "thoughtful" side at first, so there may be the usual delays in Missions showing and potential connection turbulence for the first 30-45 minutes.
[/LIST]
I'll be here to monitor first experiences and help with any situations where help is needed.

As a gentle reminder again:

Thank you dear everybody at Fdev, and Sally.... I was almost writing for you on the weekend begging for Federal election exit polls! :D I am so happy now. Thank you for your hard work and for building this fantastic community. And your comments on the update notes were hilarious. I adore you Sally.

Warms my soul. Big o7, Pro-Pagen. From us all.
