Okay, here is just a short impression of the brand new hovercraft...

:O THANKS!

Bottman · « **Reply #2 on:** August 29, 2007, 21:20:32 »

You're welcome!

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #3 on:** August 29, 2007, 21:28:50 »

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

I like the new keys/on/off

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?

Cool

WOW nice vid there Bottman. Thanks for posting

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

Bottman · « **Reply #7 on:** August 30, 2007, 06:15:55 »

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.

Wow that's fantastic! Is it possible to see the startup sequence from one of the hoverports?

Cheers,

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?

The on off switches?

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)

Hi friends, here is another short cut with the FREEDOM:

There are some buttons for the settings (graphics...) - I look for a screeny...

Cheers

Wow, i'm amazed, well done to all who helped create her. Do you have any idea when it will be released?

Wow, thanks for creating it

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.

What should that be, a depth radar thing

You mean a sonar? Nope, it isn't...

Thanks for the information about the buttons. But what can you do with the globe?
