Star Citizen Central

It took me two days to download the new freeflight trial, then I tried it for about ten minutes in the arena mode and then I thought I had better things to do.
There are so many little bewildering things about the way it plays I don’t even know where to start.
Hell they don’t even seem to know whether the cockpit is supposed to be decorative or not since there seem to be perfectly working gauges that somehow aren’t in the default field of view and it has that irritating habit I observed in some modern spacesims to have the weapons mounted on manual gimbals (Starway Fleet has the same problem) which makes practically impossible to aim when doing sharp movements (and the button combinations that allegedly should make them fixed doesn’t seem to work).
Also random frame rate dips with a fricking RX580.
At least now it can recognize more than one control peripheral at a time and it seems to remember control settings but it took them years to implement stuff that Elite had basically from the start while still not getting other basic stuff.

So 2030 release confirmed, yes?

I hopped back in too, they have released a planet with a city. I don’t think there is anything major to do in the city at the moment. The flight model is still very weird or I am.

The cockpits are meant to be interactive, which would be great if you didn’t have to hold f to then move your view around to see the buttons and then not have any idea if they work.

This is silly, interactive cockpits are for those hardcore flightsim not for more accessible spacesims.
It’s the redout/blackout effects all over again.

The blackouts are so stupid. I was going in to land on Hurston, the new planet and it takes forever, and I moved my ship a tiny bit and blackout. Is there no internal dampeners? I wasn’t even in atmosphere yet.

Is the interface fucking readable now ? Because last time I tried the game it was a WTF contest, between the markers that didn’t indicate what side of the planet they were on, the color issues, the overral shittyness of the mobiglass and the clunky controls.
