    [NEWS] OrbiterSound 5.0 will be released Tuesday 11 august

    Whatever day it gets released on, it'll be a Tuesday. Even if the day before the release is a Saturday, when it comes out, it'll then be Tuesday. The rest of the calendar is just gonna have to find a way to cope with the inevitable: Every release day is a Tuesday!

    News Hiroshima bomb: Japan marks 75 years since nuclear attack

    Having read a fair bit on the subject, (mostly by way of exhausting youtube's supply of documentaries about that era) I've actually concluded that not only that horrible event was inevitable at the time due to how Japanese leaders were being rather "difficult" - It was perhaps some strange...

    What chemicals can cause a reddish explosion cloud?

    now, THAT, escalated quickly :uhh:

    Discussion add-on creation?

    You only need VS if you're planning to make a more-complex-than-normal addon, such as a ship with various custom features, like systems simulation and other-than-rocket engine types. For most purposes, you can pretty much work your way there just by exporting the mesh to the Orbiter .msh format...

    News Technic Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey cancelled?

    Strange that the argument of war and its ethics should come into this when considering the aircraft in question... the V22, is not, or at least wasn't last time I checked, a weapon of war by itself. The thing is a transport aircraft, which could just as easily ferry life-saving relief supplies...

    Comet NEOWISE

    Hurray for the great advances in mobile phone cameras - strange how pics like these now can even be considered "not so good" as they're taken, whereas a curiously not so long time ago, such as back when I was last up in Europe, most digital camera hardware (including most devices intended to be...

    A better engine is what is needed to get to the moon and the planets in the system

    Craft that are good on atmospheres are seldom worth the haul in space - Wings in orbit are as useful as wheels underwater. An efficient earth-moon-elsewhere transport system would have to have at least two kinds of ship: One for getting out of the pedestrian grabs of earthly air and gravity...

    A better engine is what is needed to get to the moon and the planets in the system

    If you read enough Robert Heinlein (forgot exactly which of his books this comes up in as a major issue*) you should inevitably also figure that there's another problem for after "how to build such an engine" becomes a trivial concern... thing is, with an "Infinity Engine" aboard, your travels...

    Gaming MotorWings! A KSP + Crimson Skies Remake, Build your own plane FlightSim (with realistic physics)

    Perhaps that'd be a nice third step into aerial combat The first would be AAA guns that shoot up from stationary emplacements here and there. Then, the second would be to have blimps roaming around with similar guns mounted on them, any evasive maneuvering on their part would be negligible...

    Gaming MotorWings! A KSP + Crimson Skies Remake, Build your own plane FlightSim (with realistic physics)

    The plan has always been to build up onion-like, in layers of higher and higher order mechanics around a solid simulation core. Jededia's "Option 2" would be closest to the mark, I suppose. Basically, same approach as KSP. Though my brother has himself admitted many times about having done...

    Gaming MotorWings! A KSP + Crimson Skies Remake, Build your own plane FlightSim (with realistic physics)

    I've come to a relatively stable point in development of late, perhaps too stable if such a thing is ever possible - I'm a bit muddled as to the next step as being effectively a one-man-show, there is a lot of diverse to cover and only one of me to go around doing it. That is to say, I can only...

    Gaming MotorWings! A KSP + Crimson Skies Remake, Build your own plane FlightSim (with realistic physics)

    I am well familiar with it, and with Steam as well. The plan had been to publish on steam using their own Early Access platform. But since there's very little of the game to show so far, I haven't bothered much with all the setting up this would require. it'll be on steam, no doubts, I've...

    Gaming MotorWings! A KSP + Crimson Skies Remake, Build your own plane FlightSim (with realistic physics)

    I'm currently working on the world map for MW, and figured that instead of making myself insane coming up with hundreds of names for places around an area of some 1000km², it'd be more fun for everyone if we were to crowd-source some creative toponymy. So I've set up a thread in my still mostly...

    Question Recording of YOUR voice for the incoming OrbiterSound 5.0

    I've sent out a set of recordings - I quite enjoy doing voice acting. Did a fair amount of it in my university days, lotsa fun... Hope it all checks out :cheers:

    Update Updated G42-200 Starliner

    The EICAS panels are driven by moving the UV coordinates of the four vertices cornering each screen across the large single image that's used to render all possible screens. That means that if you have two panels showing the same screen, they will do so simply by shifting their textures to show...

    Gaming MotorWings! A KSP + Crimson Skies Remake, Build your own plane FlightSim (with realistic physics)

    Definitely my plan! :thumbup: I had thought of that also - This will actually be how they work in the finished game, and one should be able to dock with them My feelings exacly! :cheers: protip: Crimson Skies can still be played in Windows 10 with only minimal compatibility and patching...

    Gaming MotorWings! A KSP + Crimson Skies Remake, Build your own plane FlightSim (with realistic physics)

    This will be implemented eventually - whenever I get around making a menu system of some kind... But next update will be all about crashing your airplane - I'm shooting for the same "failure is fun" approach of KSP. It's true that airplanes are far easier to fly than it is to shoot rockets up...

    Gaming MotorWings! A KSP + Crimson Skies Remake, Build your own plane FlightSim (with realistic physics)

    I think the long startup time was Unity compiling up shaders for you, since it was the first time you ran that build. It should load up faster on future runs, I think. At least for me it loads up considerably faster than GeoFS - Though it does feel clunky occasionally when shaders need to be...
