Clipping distance maybe? You camera is to close to the object.

If I remember correctly that is only in the code I up loaded and is left over from another failed attempt to sync the rotations. In any case I've abandoned the whole idea because even if I get the sync right the ship is darn near impossible to fly with the engines configured that way. It would...

There were 234 downloads of my unfinished ship and not a single solution to this problem has come forth. You are having the same problem I had and changing to a more accurate representation of the ship doesn't help the original problem of the thrust going out of sync with the engine when the...

If you are using loose connections it will do what you see. I had that problem with my flat top where you could land at any angle on the deck because I defined loose connections. When the scn was reloaded all connections defaulted to the same.

It can also address memory far better than any of the Intel 8086 stuff ever could. I worked for Motorola when it was released and we , i.e. engineers couldn't beleive how much better it was over the Intel stuff. My first computer was a home brew 6809 based system mainly because I couldn't...

Check out FreeTrack. It's head tracking for games and is pretty much a freeware version of TrackIR. I built one of the devices but the web cam I bought was really crappy so I ended up buying a PS3 Eye Toy for it. Total cost to me not counting the first web cam which was 15 dollars was 40 dollars...

I don't know about Colorado but here in MA I'm pretty sure it's illegal to have body armor. Because they are all or mostly all armed. Here in the US people are convinced that guns kill and not the person pulling the trigger. There is such a fear of firearms in this country that you can be...

I just can't let this go.......... As a heterosexual male that finds the female form wonderful I have to say that even one Lesbian Witch is to much because, lets face it she likes the same thing I do and is therefore worthless to me. Although I applaud your selection of witches.

Is it nice there? I work for a Swiss company but have never been invited to the Swiss side of the fence. I have to put in a vote for the US because of the climate and tolerance outside of the cities. I live near Boston and the difference between Boston and the towns 20 miles away is astounding...

I have no time to mess with this but I'll throw it out there for others to play with. The model is unfinished and the code is messy with beacons in the wrong locations, landing points, pilot position not defind etc. Basically I cloned the Firefly code and striped out what I didn't want and got a...

Here is the VERY INCOMPLETE project for a promethous inspired ship. If you load the provided scn, go to full thrust  and press G you will see the problem. There is still a lot of work to do on the model as well as the DLL. I only brought it to the level in which I could work out and test the...

Because there seems to be some confusion about this whole thing and what happens, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to release it as unfinished and I'll include the source. Then anyone that wants to download it can see for themselves what is going on.

Both because the exhaust is in pointed in thrust direction. It doesn't matter anyway because I don't have time to mess with it so I'm going to shelve it for the time being. Maybe I'll just put the whole works up at the Rag Tag Fleet and anyone that wants to have at it can. I just want to see...

That does happen but is compensated for. I can't emphasize enough that the location for the thruster and the rotation for the engines works without a problem. The problem is that for some reason the angle change is not being applied to the thruster even though the thruster uses the same variable...

That's what I'm doing and I don't understand why it goes out of sync. The thruster position are correct but the rotation is off. It seems like the rotations don't update with the animation although they both use the same variables.

What month? I'm March 21, 1955. My back, knee and elbow are all much older or at least feel that way from fencing, bike riding and mountain hiking. Now working on getting old and fat. Work as a programmer for a place I can't talk about. Married in 1980 with two kids still at home, 21 and 24...

It's not at all. All of the antennas and other assorted bits would burn off during reentry. The whole engine system is unrealistic and it wasn't even show being used to keep the ship up while in atmosphere. The Captain said they were going 100kts and the engines were pointed back so there must...

My old Venus Raising ship started out as an attempt to create the movie Jupiter II. I even bought a plastic model to use as reference.

I agree with pretty much all you said. I told my son, who didn't like it, that I could have made it a better movie by taking out two very quick shots and adding one shot or discovery. I'm pulling this right out of my backside so..... I noticed that the alien that "seeded" the planet at the...

The flute thing could have just been that guy's quirky security device to access the system. Nothing says that all ships and or consoles needed the flute to access them. In fact David seemed to have no problem accessing other systems without it. As far as the pilots chair being away from the...
