I never noticed the "funnels" that are kind of used like thrusters :)

I like the new keys/on/off

:D sounds very real!

Its difficult to tell in the video but does the skirt inflate/deflate?

Also are there hoverpads acurately moddeled at Southsea and Ryde so one can do the whole Isle of wight crossing?

WOW nice vid there Bottman. Thanks for posting  ;D

and yes the skirt does inflate/deflate. I remember DJM saying so.

Yes and yes and yes - there are hoverpads, there is an engine (on/off plus levers) for inflating the skirt and you need the turnable forward pipes to manoeuvre the craft under slow speed conditions.  ;)

Well the first thing I noticed was this actually : What are all those butons in the right corner!

There are many new butons there. Mind telling us what they do Bottman? ;)

No I mean the RIGHT menu. The one on the botom where you can select your camera view, Information menu etc.

One of those look like a save button (Since it is a lock)

You call that a departure lol! You just added crucial extra minutes to your passenger's travelling time.

I'm really REALLY impressed with how the hovercraft has turned out, better than what I expected.

The only gripe I have is just the sounds. I live not that far away from the real thing, and that unmistakable sound of hovercraft is very unique. From standing up close to it echoing through the air from miles around. Maybe I could mod some new sounds in afterwards, but nevermind. Also, I didn't hear the lift engines revving as a separate sound. ???

But excellent work on all the modelling and physics VSTEP, I can't wait.  ;D

Never heard of search have you ;)

As you would have noticed when you  used the buton "search" You would have "found" a thread about the patch. In that thread there was told of a minor delay and the patch should come out in the next week ;)

That's the idea, but as you can see on the picture, it's still not working with my beta version, because I have no choice here, the list of possible targets is empty...

Cheers
