What am I supposed to see on the creen?
OK, I just installed the game and screwed my first training mission. I am trying to follow the instructions to fly back to a station and dock, so I can restart the first training mission. I get the "S" icons in the center of left hand radar screen and accelerate. I assume I am hitting the station, because the distance indicator gets to zero, but my screen is just white. I never see any station or docking bay or anything. What am I supposed to be seeing? how do I dock? Am I supposed to press a key to change my screen view? Help please.
Has your entire screen been white, aside from the radar, the whole time? Or when you launched, did you see asteroids and planets and things?
When you launch from the station, you're facing away from the station towards a large asteroid field. The mission has you fly out a little ways, then eventually turn around so the "S" icons are in your left (front) radar, and then proceed back towards the station. The docking bays for the station are glowing entrances with blue moving arrows that point into them. You can see one in the middle of this screenshot:

If "everything" is really white, you may be experiencing a video driver issue or other fundamental problem. Make sure your drivers are all as recent as possible, and post a description of the sort of computer you have (including OS version, what kind of video card, etc). If you can post a link to a screenshot of the issue, that could help too.
If you wish, you can also re-start the mission you're on, by doing the following (assuming you are still floating in space):
- hit the tilde key (~)
- type "/explode" without quotes (there will be a countdown, then you'll explode)
- you'll be re-spawned inside the station. it will ask you if you want to re-purchase the same ship. say "Yes".
- you should see your current mission tab, if not you can find it by clicking on the PDA, then Missions. Click on the single mission you see, then click Abort. This will allow you to re-take the mission from scratch.
Let us know how it goes.

Thank you incarnate. My whole screen was white, except for the radars...all of the time. I went to video options, and changed drivers. That fixed the problem. Thanks again for the help.
