    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    Nutty Pro, please let me first apologise, I had not intended for anyone to 'out' you or name names etc (you're not the only one and i deal with this sort of thing all the time - not necessarily XR2 related i guess at least your company gets a nice plug though...;)) I had asked for Risingfury's...

    Gaming FlightGear 2.4.0 is out...

    Every time i look at a screenshot of Flightgear, I wonder why no one ever bothered to remove the outlines from around the clouds. Its so neatly trimmed out around the outline it almost appears as if its been intentionally left in... I know its free and i'm sure someone has worked really hard on...

    [Idea] JATOs for Airliners?

    Not the one i was thinking of, this was a more recent development perhaps. but as i recall that was a spectacular failure as it still caught fire but it now also would happily stick to things while burning - in think effictively they ended up making napalm by adding the antimisting agent. oops.

    [Idea] JATOs for Airliners?

    Aside from there being all different types of aircraft flying, some new some old, some 'safe' some, less so... I think it would be truer to say that its as safe as it can be economically... I find it hard to accept that the airline industry is the only one in which tradeoffs aren't made for cost...

    [Idea] JATOs for Airliners?

    I didn't say anything about currently available at airports, I'm just asking if thats true, because I'm sure I remember something about it, but no specifics other than it would add a dollar to every seat price... Perhaps it was just a hypothetical thing?

    [Idea] JATOs for Airliners?

    Special cases aside, lets face it, anything which is not required by law to be on the aircraft, like a rocket booster, is not going to be done because it would drive up ticket prices... Isn't it true that aircraft could use safer fuel - less likely to ignite in an accident - for example but its...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    Well guys don't forget that professional payware costs a lot for a reason, it takes a long time to do and the market is small so like many hobby products its often fairly expensive - the guys who do that offer a fair price for the amount they sell. i'm not sure how many actually support...

    you know I really don't remember that but other than being able to hack a DVD on a spindle in a drawer - though who knows, it may not be beyond your skills - there's no other way you could have had them.:) Thanks for the credit, maybe i'll be able to dig out a couple more for you sometime...

    The XR2 has an APAS - as you would find on the space shuttle orbiter.

    Gaming Perhaps today is a good day to sim? - BMS 'Darkfalcon' released!

    If you're not familiar with this legendary series of combat flight sims, a long time ago there was a Falcon, then 3 more versions of it, then it essentially became abandonware and has had continued development for a decade by various groups. There was an open version, and a free version, and a...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    Lighting, as I've said before is possible... Technically its limiting, you're looking at extra memory usage for holding at least 2 complete sets of interior maps - probably the equivalent of 2 4096*4096 pixel maps for everything with both lighting setups... But again those can be reduced if they...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    XR5 mkII eh? I wonder who's going to work on that? Anyway, thank you all for the comments - sorry i am very bad at using the 'thanks' system as you have all noticed, I have read all your comments and they are appreciated. Here's a wee update of the lighting and textures dulled them down a...

    I wonder what playlists they are jamming to?

    It would be be either me or Doug they would persue, but more likely Doug as he distributes it Though its free advertising right? they'd be pretty stupid to complain about that... Unless I were to show the product in a bad light I guess. However I would actually not like to give them the free...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    Well thankyou for the offer Turbinator, but its not for Unreal, its for Orbiter, and certainly i have at the moment no plans to put it into any other games As for how it will look, I had these same comments before about the mk1, but no complaints after... Keatah for example would know better...

    Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

    I'm really the wrong person to ask about any coding, but I would say its unlikely that Doug has done anything specifically for this model, since I haven't sent it to him yet.;) As for the windows and glass, they're a proper glass material curently I fully intend this time to bake reflections of...
