Exporation buddy help

[kwesidbz21]

I just downloaded exploration buddy for the game to help me in exploring but does anyone know how I can use the hud in game? Can only see it when I minimize my game but not while I am playing.

Is ED running full screen or borderless window?

Full screen

That's why. You need to use borderless mode.

Oh wow it was that simple. Thanks.

That's a general rule in any game with using overlays. You can't be in fullscreen.

Most modern games run almost as well in modes other than fullscreen. I have used some tools with overlays in ED, and if I recall there is a noticeable performance hit. But your mileage may vary.

Any know if it possible to change between pages while playing like from route page to bodies page in my ship or does the hud only sync to the whatever page the application is on?

I'm not familiar with that particular app, but if it operates like most, it's just feeding off of the code, shouldn't matter what screen you are looking at.

For an app like that it's probably just pulling things like your current location in the Galaxy, and locations of other things. Some of that date would probably come from your API (your current location) and some of it from ED databases (system and other specific locations).

Again, code specific, shouldn't have anything to do with what screen you are on at all.
