Oolite v1.73.4 Released
RE: Oolite v1.73.4 Released
Hi Pagroove & the rest of the Oolite communityI have only one thing to say about your Famous Planets OXP, beautiful, well done and not to put any pressure on you, already looking forward to your next update. You know, looking at all the OXPs that are available out there for Oolite (including PLANETARY LANDINGS!
) really makes me appreciate the amount of devotion and love the Oolite community as a whole has for the project. Well done to all of you! It's also my hope that the FFE3D community can be just as good with their project. Certainly they too are going in the right direction. Two "proper" Elite games with the features we all wished the originals had. Great stuff guys!
I also hope a certain Cambridge developer is taking notes!
Lastly (but not least), PinbackDid you manage to get it yet?I got it from herehttp://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXPTry that if you haven't already, hope that helps!

Cheers Geraldine
That your ad here oxp is great,
will have to read up on how the ads are made.going to try the planet landing one,but my docking skill are not what they used to be,think I may have to use the cheat to get some credits.
Is just me or is docking harder in Oolite than Elite?.

No worries Pinback, and yes I think it is harder to dock, its either the increased frame-rate over the original games or in my case pilot ineptitude!
RE: Oolite v1.73.4 Released
using the (as i call.. modification options) i.e cheat hack wont spoil your game, it didnt in elite2 you got an auto pilot as standard when you started! go on you know you want to!! it will open the game up to you instead of having `brown trousers` time when you have to dock. and let you carry on enjoying the greatness that is Oolite!
im not showing off but i can land perfectly well with out now just start a new game when its loaded and practice a while. just start from the bouy/boy/boughy
approach slowly making minor adjustments to your height and angle using up and down arrows and yaw( )start rotating at same speed as the docking bay just before the station fills the screen. if you get in a confrontation and your docking computer gets greased you could be in trouble if you cant dock manually!! so dont become dependent on it! 
RE: Oolite v1.73.4 Released
there again you could always pause before docking, save and re add the docking computer again and reload and continue but that would be cheating.

Probably the latter Geraldine!

Cheers Jazhaz,looking at the vid,I think I have being doing it the fast way,
mabe I should try the slow wayit might stop me from crashing into the dock regularly.Just looking at the vid,maybe it time they did somthing about the speed lines,as they look a bitout place with the rest of the game now.
RE: Oolite v1.73.4 Released
I made a new vid. This time showing some new features of version 1.74. This vid shows the BGS (Background Sets) OXP which will provide not only pretty backgrounds in each of the station screens but also a new sound engine with should provide the commander with engine sounds and some nice new FX. On top of that this vid shows game-play of Oolite, the Famous Planets 2.0.oxp and ships from Griff and Deepspace.
RE: Oolite v1.73.4 Released
Hi PagrooveLooks great, but I have a question. That panel in the video, does it come with the mod and if not which one is it? I thought it looks really nice. 
RE: Oolite v1.73.4 Released
Been a while since I loaded up Oolite, like all the sound effects at dock depending where you were at and the voices while in flight were great! I believe that dashboard is a mod.

Heck no think that's an Amiga 500, man I loved mine but its in the graveyard now 
RE: Oolite v1.73.4 Released
No Aces High, Darkone is correct it is indeed a rendition of my beloved "Miggy" 500+ and I still use it when I need a Cannon Fodder or Carrier Command fix. I fitted a ROM switcher to it too so that it will run Workbench 1.3 & 2.04 and it has a "mighty" 1.5 megs of ram!
