Hi everyone,
I've made this thread to get feedback about the built in Elite Dangerous panel, and also collect some feature requests. What do you think of the panel? What would you like to see in future versions? Let me know here!
Thanks!

Hi Carlos! Loving the app so far. Still getting it set up. Would love to see a combat tab for the elite panel. More specifically, a way to target sub-systems directly. Say, I notice an enemy is charging their frameshift drive and want to target it quickly, it would be much faster to hit a button that targets it directly, than to cycle through his subsystems until I find it. Would also be nice to have images set up as well for the buttons, so I don't have to manually set up each one with this pre-built panel.
I literally just got the app, so if missing something and one of both of those are already in that panel, my apologies.
Thanks,
CMDR Drewnonstar
Edit: So I got it working, and realized the ED pre-built profile is actually finished with buttons etc.. so bravo! Also that there IS a combat tab. So I guess just the ability to target a specific sub-system.

So I guess just the ability to target a specific sub-system. Yep, there is a Combat tab I added, and of course all buttons (and even tab names) can be remapped to whatever would be useful for you. Regarding specific sub-systems though, that's something I desperately wanted to add (because I'd use that all the time), but there currently is no way to map a button to a specific subsystem target. You can cycle subsystems via the panel, but you can't make a button to, say, "Target Power Plant". Frontier would have to make a key-binding for those actions. If they ever do, I'd update the default panel immediately. If you're liking the app, please consider leaving a rating/review on the App Store. I didn't want to add that annoying "Rate my app" message in app, but it would help get more visibility and more panel creators using Panels. Thanks! o7 CMDR Kith000 |

Version 3 of the Elite Dangerous panel has just been released. If you already have the Elite Dangerous panel installed, it should auto-update (maintaining your existing keybindings, of course). Version 3 adds
- Ship Scan Info. When you scan a ship, information starts appearing on the panel as the scan progresses, giving you at a glance information (bounty, status, ship, etc.).
- Incoming Message Notification. When you receive a message, you'll get a notification on the panel.

Hi Carlos. I'm loving the continued development of the panels, I started with v1 of the Elite Dangerous panel and it was great! In the game, I went on a long exploration trip and haven't had any use for the panels until I got back today and decided on a bit of combat (which I normally use the panels for). I noticed in the latest update that there are information windows from the game appearing on the panel and to be honest, it's getting in the way. In a conflict zone, there are so many info popups on different ships and their statuses that I can't get to my buttons quick enough. Is there a way of turning the popups off/on so I could have them on/off when required?
Thanks!

Funny enough, I was actually playing yesterday in a conflict zone and I had the exact same frustration. It worked well in Bounty Hunting situations but in Conflict Zones it was just way too much. I'm going to be looking into a solution today to try to make it less invasive, but I definitely agree with you. I'll let you know as soon as I update it. Thanks for the feedback! o7 |

Hi Carlos,
Is it possible that the application works in vertical orientation and not only horizontally?
PS: sorry, my English is limited.
Thanks!

Currently there's no vertical configuration, but I'm working on allowing you to specify the dimensions of a specific panel, so stay tuned |

Hi Carlos, First of all great job on this App, it´s at the moment the only way to be able to continue the "Power Grid" legacy. But I have a few nitpicks to pick: First of all, the "Record" doesn´t recognize or distinguish the left CTRL from the right CTRL, I need this for it to coexist with voiceattack! Than you can´t edit your preinstalled Elite Dangerous Lable, it would be great to open it with the "Open Panel Editor" but this is gone once you klick on our Lable. (its because of the two Tabs ^^ ) Bonus: the program doesn´t recognize any Joystick-Buttons, that would be great  Thanks so far for your good work, keep it up F4QuArL P.S.: Someone here took my UserTag, that´s very unpleasant :/ |

Hello Carlos!
Like everyone else I'll chime in and say THANK YOU so much for this app and the ED featured panel. Was a way to get it up and running in less than 10 mins (cause I had to rekeybind everything or it would have been quicker).
I saw over in the other thread that the reason why the ED panel isn't customizable other than keybindings/labels is due to it being specially made. Are you working on making a customizable one? If not could you possibly add a third "blank" tab for people to add more if they so wish? I love the default two but would really love a 3rd one since I've got a HOTAS setup and while I have a good bit covered in my buttons on it I could use at least one more panel for easy use. I might try the "build your own" method but only after grabbing someone else's that I can tear apart and see how it works first. Having a built in "demo" for people to look at the innards of and see how it works is how a lot of software people learn.
Now I go back to rearranging my desk to add my ipad between my HOTAS... SO HAPPY NOW!

Hi Carlos,
Just downloaded the app and it seems great so far. Really happy that I found a replacement for Power Grid.
Couple of questions - I don;t get the pop up messages you mentioned for scanned ships, should I enable something for this?
Secondly, how do I modify and create new grids? Do I need a program to do this?
thanks

Is it possible to obtain the source JS files for people wanting to customize this panel?
The out.zip folder contains bundle.js files which are a pain to work with.
Any help would be appreciated! Cheers!
