Project Wideawake International: Ascension Ultra

[wehaveaproblem]

Thanks for all the posts guys. Ok, so to address some things:

Looks great! It could probably use some consoles or something to help flesh out the appearance

If you take a look at the pic from inside the control room of the TA hangar, you will see a basic mock control desk. The Tower will have that kinda thing. The scale of the control tower room in the pic is very misleading however, it looks a lot smaller than it is.

I would assume this Tuesday otherwise they would say Tuesday week or next month or something like that.

Apologies for the in-joke, I thought everyone on this forum knew that a 'Tuesday' release means:

This eta spans from next Tuesday till the end of time

So please, no more release date excitement, this project is far from finished unfortunately.

Secondly, will there be any mechanism for taxying your spacecraft around?

Discussion of that topic, which has almost derailed this thread lol, is one I am looking into, as I too don't like using rocket power. Personally I think the self-powered vessel option (basically engines with no contrails) would be the most elegant solution, but that means the addon devs need to code a patch or whathaveyou. Alternatively, I can also picture a detachable jet pod used for ground manoeuvres; velcro rocket type thing. Although if someone was going to make a working tractor tug, I would vote for this type:

This is hat I was imagining.(no details or textures yet)

All that said, perhaps a tug deserves its own thread, I'd rather not discuss it any more here please. This thread is getting clogged enough with talk of Tuesday, let alone other projects

edit: tl8 is on the case, dev thread

Thirdly, I saw that Grover mentioned having a radar display in the control tower......

It's not something I'd planned, my to-do list is long enough already. I certainly don't plan to add any interactivity to the control rooms, beyond MFDs, so basically no working VC. But if the idea was done through an mfd, then it would be useable and welcome.

I have new project.
Google is offering virtual tours for museums.
In reply I will create virtual tour for WIN Ultra
I will however of course require early access to the test version of the base. Nothing needs to be functional except for the interior decoration :3

Interesting idea. But don't get too ahead of yourself, the base is a good way off completion, and any such project I would only really want done with the finished product, rather than with a beta test. But if you still want to do some PR when it's released, then feel free!


Think that's all the queries answered, did I miss anything?

thanks again for all the feedback

Oh don't worry about release deadlines. 90% of games in the market today are crap because of premature deployment and lack of creativity associated with rushed work.

Orbiter does not suffer from this thanks to hardworking and patient people like yourself :3

Agreed 100% IMHO taking the time to do it right always works out in a more positive way in the end. My bad on the misunderstanding on the release date. That's what I get for "speed reading" the thread

I thought food was your department now!

But rest assured there is a 5star hotel complex being planned for the base, which will obviously include a presidential suite. So if you can afford $45k per night, you can sleep there.

Sure, I'll get Delta to pay for it. The stay is work related after all :3

I guess we should do that in the tradition of Linden Labs... exchange real money for Wideawake credits :stirpot: har har har

My hobby is sleeping. Sleeping is fun, besides cats sleep 16 hours a day.

now there's a plan!

although, it does mean I would actually have to model the damn hotel interior...

oh hang on, no I wouldn't... given the second life model I charge players to build it all themselves... hmmm
