Ecliptic Projector Help Needed
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to activate the ecliptic projector in X3TC. I cant find the control listed in the "controls" tabin the main menu. Help please!

dang, although getting trapped in an up/down mentality in space wasn't so good from a combat perspective (anyone else read Ender's Game?), using it to orient yourself every now and again, and particularly with regard to station placement, was rather handy.
shame

want the FACTS about X2/X3?

You mean other than to give a fixed point of reference? 
Virtually all NPC stations and ships are oriented WRT the plane represented by the ecliptic projector, at least in all games previous to X3TC. And the ecliptic projector plane itself is the X-Z plane with the Y axis normal to it. So it really helped in orienting and placing stations, if you liked ordered placement. 
And yeah, I miss it, too. Instead of being eliminated, it should've been improved so that it stretched the whole width and breadth of the sector when activated. The X3 version was less useful than previous versions because of the huge size of some sectors.

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

if your need is great..
..so great that you will even go ***modded***
- check the Scripts & Modding forum, Grasshopper..
NB: Beware though, you will be forever banished from the Stats tables
as the ***modded*** signal in your pilot record renders you "unclean"

I found Ecliptic Projector for sale at Unknown Sector 9-7 at the Otas Research Station. Went in and bought it, no issues, BUT for the life of me, I cant switch it on... =____=
