Title: Modeling an Environment for the Simulation
Post by: Firestar on January 03, 2010, 23:33:02: After some research, I've noticed there's not much in the guidelines for adding a vessel into the game about adding environments. They mention it, but they don't exactly state guidelines? I mean, there's GOT to be some sort of material out there! Have I seemed to have missed it?

Just not possible for 3rd parties to do that yet, at the moment. ;)

Yet, at the moment..? So possibly in future versions we may be able to..?

Fred.

Time to get my modelling skills up. Good I'm using 3ds max now!

No sorry! It sure does empty your pocket though!

The i asked for Ship Console

Sorry Vstep, but a Logitech Driving Force Pro is just as good, if not better than the ship console. And you can pick one up, new and unopened, for Â£40 - Â£50

They only endorse the thing for Wilco Publishing and VR Insight, they didn't make it.

It is... kinda limited, isn't it? :-\

Even a standard joypad gives more control axis than that, and will do better for all the multi rudder or unconventional propulsion systems imho..

Title: Re: Modeling an Environment for the Simulation
Post by: Mad_Fred on January 12, 2010, 23:15:25: Nah, that's not true..

It is a decently made unit.. But it just offers too little control to my liking.
