Project Universal Car for Orbiter (UCO)

[Evil_Onyx]

Im lost for words, can't wait to start zooming round the system in it.

 

[willy88]

Dan, that's amazing!

 

[Hmuda]

I'm speechless...

I would like to encourage everyone NOT to spoil the "suprise" for those who didn't see it. It was worth the wait and Tuesday can't come soon enough.

I was like...still looking great, can't wait...BOOM! Amazing work Dan, keep up the amazing work.

 

[the.punk]

This.....is.....just.....amazing.

But even this would understate it.

 

[jinglesassy]

awesome cant wait for the release

 

[Hmuda]

Just a couple of questions for Dan:

(Making the text small so only those should read it who want to spoil the suprise ).

- It seemed a bit too dark. Is it possible to brighten things up a bit? Or make the buttons glow? It's hard to see which button is which and safety comes first after all.
- Any chance for an early texture pack release? Or the mesh is still under development?
- Won't the docked DGIV mess up the TransX calculations? I heard that it doesn't like to take the extra mass into account.
- When in the video the VC was showing a LEO, was that a pre rendered thing, or will we be able to "walk" in it somehow?
- I see you like Asimov too. But wouldn't it make more sense if you place those under the lamp?

This is so...awesome... just...(awestruck speechlessness ensues)

 

[trokkes]

Awesome

Ok. I'm at home now.
Only one thing I can say...

ARE YOU CRAZY, MAN?

This is "très magnifique"

Waiting ...:10:

 

[Zop]

ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN` AMAZING!

I think i take my holiday early when UCGO is out...
This will bring Orbiter to a whole new level !

 

[Dambuster]

I LOVE YOU DANSTEPH!!!! THAT IS SO AMAZING - NICE WORK!!!!!!!

 

[Nemoricus]

Absolutely fantastic work. I can't wait until I can get my hands on it to use it in Orbiter.

So, what's left on your plate before it can go to beta, then?

 

[adamb193]

Raising the bar much? That is amazing.

Why am I thinking that when Dansteph's work will finally be in downloadland, the forum will so totally not be visited since all Orbinauts will be merrily ferrying stuff from Earth to anywhere else 24/7?

Could happen sooner for me... I discovered DCS:Black Shark in the stores in my city yesterday and am tempted to buy it... Eagle Dynamics finally managed to provide proper manuals to one of their games, according to the stuff on their homepage.

And honestly: The more people orbit and the less people only post about it, the better is the world in my eyes.

Musicaly inspiring your work, Dan:
"I'm making a not here: Huge Success. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction. SpaceTech co.; we make Arrows and DeltaGliders IV because we can, for the good of all of us! Except those who can't orbit."

I hope there are seat adjustment controls like in DGIV, I love to be right over virtual virtual buttons... I mean virtual touchscreens!

 

[Dambuster]

Also, what music was that you had in there?

 

[Interceptor]

WoW Dan!,I just fell out of my chair.You rock with a capital R.

 

[Hmuda]

I think it was from Armageddon, but might be wrong.

Got to admit, the use of music was perfect.

 

[Arrowstar]

I just my jaw just hit the floor. That. Was. Incredible. Dan, that was great! I don't even know what to say, but I can tell you my urge to fly that machine has increased by a rather significant amount. Awesome!
