How to get to Windfall from Black Hole Sun IV (x4) in X4: Foundations

Short answer: You jump via the Windfall IV → Aurora’s Dream jump gate , which is directly connected to Black Hole Sun IV. From Black Hole Sun IV, head to that gate and jump; you’ll arrive in Windfall IV.

Quick route overview

  1. Start in Black Hole Sun IV
    • Use your ship’s map (M) and locate the gate labeled:
      Windfall IV – Aurora’s Dream (often shown with an upward arrow ↑).
  1. Fly to the gate
    • Navigate to the gate position (usually shown on the sector map as a gate icon).
    • There are known issues/bugs near this gate (teleport gate bugs about ~50 km from the gate), so stay close and avoid recklessly using the spacesuit or teleporting near it if you’ve had glitches before.
  1. Jump to Windfall IV
    • Align with the gate, engage the jump drive, and jump.
    • You will land in the Windfall IV sector, near the station Aurora’s Dream.

Once in Windfall IV, you can then travel to other stations or sub-sectors like “Windfall” (casino, etc.) depending on your mission or exploration goals.

Why people ask about this route

  • Story / mission context: Some players are trying to confront the “twins” and deal with satellites and stations in the Windfall area, which involves moving between Black Hole Sun and Windfall sectors.
  • Gate bugs: There are reported teleport/jump gate bugs around the Black Hole Sun IV → Windfall IV gate, making navigation feel confusing or broken for some players.

If you’re stuck near the gate:

  • Try switching ships or reloading.
  • Avoid using the spacesuit near the gate if you’ve experienced teleport glitches.
  • Use long-range scan (Shift+3) to confirm gate and station positions on the map.
