Is it just me…or is the mouse zoom wheel in the F10 map opposite of the mouse wheel zoom in ME?

That would be hilarious if true.

On the Supercarrier JBD/crew view it’s also opposite from all the F2/F4/F9/whatever external views as well.
Almost as annoying as the different drag-scroll mouse buttons. Right-click-hold for ME. Left-click-hold for F10 map.

Then there is Imperial vs Metric. And that brings up no sorting for the zones list. Oh the humanity!
Vladimir! Bring hammer! Big one! Is need for percussive maintenance!
What is broken? SIM works?
Da Dmitry but problem exist between mouse and monitor. I fix, look.

I have a little cheat sheet slid under my keyboard with a bunch of standard metric altitudes (500m, 2000m, etc.) and speeds (150 KPH, 600 KPH, etc) and their imperial conversions. I work in imperial but many of my AIs fly in metric. It is more realistic and hopefully makes @schurem happier.

I saw all the Mavericks and was like “Whaaaattt?! Christmas and My Birthday in one!!??” Then I read it more carefully.
Still, the Viper is the first jet that I have “followed along” with the whole early access / WIP program. I kind of like it. It has forced me to settle down and learn the sensors, modes and weapons that are in place right now.

I like your enthusiasm for the Viper, Hanger200!
Just wish they would make the MFD’s more readable, like the real F-16.
Current pic:
And this, with the user mod available. More readable, but the SOI outline is hard to see.
And this is the only cockpit shot I could find of the real thing. Although an MLU variant, the MFD displays are still valid.

Patch itself doesn’t appear to be live yet, I just checked again. Hoping to get it started as soon at it’s live as I have a client and a server to install!
I should wishlist something like delivery optimization so I can share the update between the machines, not that bandwidth is a concern but might as well download the client then share all to the server at LAN speeds.
I hate they release the patch notes before the patch goes live, constantly returning to the PC to check 
I do wish they would utilise torrents more, Let us seed once we get the files rather than just closing the updater, I bet between everyone downloading patches and terrain we could collectively speed the process up

It never really did, the performance was usually quite poor which is why myself and @Franze stuck with Steam. The problem being that most ISP’s limit upload speeds far lower than download, unless you are a business.
Now they have switched to a new Content Delivery Network (CDN77 - look them up!) which is lightning quick, rivaling what I saw with Steam. It has delivered to me at upwards of 500Mbps, so it should well surpass most people’s internet speed caps.
Unlike Steam, I can’t get an automatic background update while my PC runs but at least I am now sending more of the $$ directly to ED by using standalone and their online store.

Look Ma! My ship has come in. I hope this helps me fly the thing better. Although I have not killed the engine by overheating I got it to run so bad it should have been dead.
Wow, a lot of good stuff!
