Thought it was only the BBC micro version had that 'bug'. Trouble is by the time you can afford a docking computer, docking is pretty easy and quicker to do manually.

Recommend any good joysticks? Been looking at X52Pro, but they are hard to find and I hear they are being discontinued...

X52 is fine - plus has the twist axis on the stick - the warthog hasn't.

Pick up track IR also...

I'm in ED since alpha and every step is mindblowing...

On the BBC Micro version you could get the docking computer to skip the animation so pressing 'C' for the docking computer would dock you as soon as you were within range of a space station.

Alright cool. I'm really tempted to also get an occulus rift dev 2 - I think I have til August to save up before they start shipping... I had an X52 Pro ordered on Dabs, but they've been awaiting stock for 2 months now.

Yeeeeeaaah! Can never have too many games with spaceships. This, No Man's Sky and battlefront all on their way. Can't wait

Ah - clearly I didn't RTFM.

Bought in at Alpha level. It's coming on nicely. Using CH Products FighterStick, Pro Throttle and Pro Pedals with a TrackIR. HOTAS setup is about 5 years old now and still perfectly calibrated. Who gives a stuff about looks when it is ergonomically perfect?

Docking is simple, unless the station AI takes a dislike to you, it has a fairly lethal opinion :-P
