Project JBT B1200 Aircraft Tug

[tl8]

Works,and looks fantastic,only found 2 bugs,1.the white strip on the left hand side that shows force fuel ect,ect,shows up in all vehicles,not when just using the tug,2.Tug is still flashing on,and off,I think it could be the same problem as here http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=26347&highlight=niven,.Thanks

Flickering will be fixed in the next beta.

The debug string will be removed for the final version or earlier.

Some fixes to mesh (new hooks, signal lights, rear lights, re-UVW mapped, reduced meshgroup count) - need new texture though.

Hello TL8,I found a bug,but I am not sure if you already know about it but ,when you back up the tug the towbar always starts to turn inward towards the tug,and even after straightening it out by moving the tug foward,and then backward again the problem still persists.

That is exactly what happens when you back up a trailer.

Yeah,but if you turn the wheels to straighten the towed vessel out it has no effect.

2 Questions with regards to the upcoming VC

Should I retain the custom HUD cockpit view?

Should I retain the keyboard controls?

From my point of view, the former should go and the latter can stay.

 

[Loru]

No objections here - keys have to stay. As for HUD - same info will be displayed on status screen and dials so no point of it anymore

I agree, the custom HUD should go but the key controls staying.

For those that absolutely must have the latest and greatest:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3550991/JBT_B1200_Pushback_Tug_Beta_0.25.zip

Implements the display portions of the VC.
No buttons or controls
Headlights are important at night as they trigger the dash illumination
A few other small features

Almost certain to be broken, so use at your own risk.

[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6213"]New Beta is out[/ame]. This adds a VC

There are still a few bugs around including display issues and start up problems. I will keep working on fixing them.

There are 2 more features I wish to add before a final release, but they are dependent on others.
