Thanks robn

<t>Thanks for all your replys. I have been playing with all detail set to very very high so maybe I was being a bit optimistic! Also I have discovered that vista was only enabling 1 core at start up,so now I have that sorted, it is is much better. I'm still playing on max detail so it still takes a ...

Really impressed with canyons of Io...

Okay thanks coolhand. I am, more or less aware of how the graphics work. It was just easier to type 'load' rather than 'procedurally generate'. lol. It reminds me a little of a program called Terragen.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I know my pc is starting to show it's age now. Pioneer is still very impressive and I'm not complaining, I was just hoping I had missed a setting that would load the terrain quicker.

Thanks again marcel. I was running it on very high so that must be the problem. So long as it's not just me lol. What component of a pc would be responsable for the loading time? Pioneer is the best reason I have to consider an upgrade!

<t>Hi, I am just getting to grips with pioneer. I was a little disappointed at first because it didn't look as good as the pics and vids I have seen. I landed on a planet today to watch the sun rise and I noticed that 2-3 minutes later (real time) the terrain was still loading and eventually it did ...

I only discovered pioneer at alpha 10 so I wasn't aware of the changes. I may post some pics of my own after I have done a bit of exploring. Cheers!

Thanks for replying. Just tried an older version (alpha 7) and Gliese 825 B looks stunning! I still can't find the other planets though. Anyone interested in posting your favorite places in alpha 10???

<t>Hi all, I'm just starting out with pioneer and I have been trying to 'visit' some of the places in these pics that you guys have posted here. I can't seem to find any of these places. For example, Ross 128 E and Alpha centauri B I just don't exist and Gliese 825 B is a gas giant with no features ...

Thank you, marcel! Now for some sight-seeing!

<t>Hi I found pioneer by accident a couple of days ago. I have been blown away by the screenshots - I havn't played frontier for long time. However, I have been having real problems getting around in pioneer. I'd just like to know how to use the autopilot. No matter what I do I just can't get it to ...
