scary_pigeon Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 (edited) dont worry - we havent dissapeared - we're just at a particular 'boring' phase of development. fundamental parts of the engine are being written or modified and arent pretty. I personally have been for the last month working on the network code. such screenshots arent worthy of mention on our site - so before updating it proper - we'll most likely wait until there is something new and interesting to show. oh yeah: the tectrahedron is just a test object of the other client - and theres a spacefield to give a sense of movement since the relatively slow loading time of the landscape slows down debugging/tweaking of certain aspects of netcode.

Guest Shadowcat Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 I think the really important question here is: does the tectrahedron have an accurate flight model and avionics suite? ;) Quote
:FI:Biggles3 Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 the tectrahedron is obviosly over modelled:P. Quote
SneakyPete Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 OH PLEASE, let's not start that here, you know it's biased for the Argentinian's....... :) Quote
Guest MrMudd Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 It needs Astroids and a Big Fricken Space Laser. If you ever need a beta tester. I'm more than willing to help out Quote
+Dante-JT Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Steve, btw, that's an argie or brit tectrahedron ?? :) Now for a more visually pleasing update, the Sea King model is being painted, Royal Navy test skin: We're working also in the HMS Hermes carrier model. And the programming team is still implementing load-on-demand of high res terrain mesh data of the region. The terrain system is being reworked btw, and yesterday was a great day because a particularly annoying problem with the .hgt (SRTM accurate terrain files) was finally sorted out. So, so we'll have screenshots of the Sea Harrier over the Falklands. :) Quote

Flexman_UK Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 That's a really nice helicopter :-) I'm well impressed by the appearence of the fluid flight handling in the video. And your project uses OpenScenegraph I understand? Anyway, first rate stuff. I spoke with someone who gave me an account of the rather 'creative' use of weapons during that conflict. Of particular interest is the Exorcet which gutted HMS Sheffield. I was very supprised to learn it didn't explode as the safeties didn't have time to arm. Instead it burned in the ship like a roman candle, as you can imagine it had a large amount of fuel left. Hence the ship suffered major fire damge, with little explosive damage evident. Quote
