Elite Dangerous

How do i switch back to combat mode?
I'm not a fan of the new combat/exloration mode and the need to switch across. I currently can't use my weapons and can't find a simple toggle button in the control settings, can anyone help me out?

M key is the default binding

M does nothing, i'm currently stuck in this system becuase i can't get to my jump panel now either. I really don't see the point of these modes other then to get a few players to rage quit or get blown up.

You need to bind the HUD mode switch.

And while at it, you probably want to do some more bindings for the new stuff that has been added with the last update.

I've look everywhere an i don't see a HUD mode switch binging option, can you direct me there?
I'm at work right now, but this should give the idea where to find it:

Its under mode switches in settings,

A side note, there is not a separate binding option under the SRV mode switches so the one you set for your ship will be the same binding in the SRV, so you may have to redo bindings in that cause it wont work if something is already bound to the SRV control's,
The same applies to night vision as well.

Yeah. I really hate this whole hud switching thing. Annoys the hell out of me and its superfluous.

I havent tried this game since the update, This sounds to me like a whole new controll setup will be needed, And for many of us that use the Xbox controller will now just have to find a new game. there is no way i can give up any of my controller bindings to make way for the new 12 setings/bindings. Game over for many of us.!

Im using xbox360 cottroler from 2014 as primary tool.And I have added new
12 bindings....with no problem...its advanced cotroller setup btw...tons of bindings from k&m default setup.
You can even use the same buttons for different departments ie FSS or DSS at planet mapping even in minning.

I think you exaggerate a little here. The new controls can be set to the same controls that you use to fly your ship. For example, while using a FSS scanner you can't fly your ship, so the controls can be reused to "fly" the FSS screen instead.

ok some good feedback on that, i suppose it wouldnt hurt to spend an hour reconfigging some stuff. If i can find the patience , for now i'll still need to wait till i find a Game mood for Elite. At this time i dont think ive been away long enough yet to even bother . Maybe next year :)

I also use 360 controller, ended up using "classic control" default and working from there, weirdest thing was that my targeting and navigation controls got swapped, aka th x and y button bindings,
Could have got real interesting, tried to charge my FSD and deployed weapons instead.

I kinda like the dual modes b/c can put scanning and weapons modules in same fire group.
