Traveling from the Bubble to SagA*...without Hyperspace! (sneak peak)

[Kethriss]

So I've always wanted to know...what would it look like to fly from LHS 3447 to Sagittarius A* without hyperspace? Getting to see the galactic dust and stars whiz by without the disruptive act of hyperspace jumping. Well...I'm going to find out! Of course I'll still be hyperspace jumping to get there, but what I'm going to do before each jump is select SagA* and align to it, and take a screenshot. Then, I will string all these screenshots together in a high-fps slideshow. The result will be getting to see what it looks like to fly through the galaxy without hyperspace! I will be using my 50ly jump range Asp to accomplish this, and I look forward to sharing the end product with you all when it's finished. The gif up above is just a little preview of what the full thing will look like. When it's done it will be sped up a bit more and smoothed out a lot.

Wish me luck!

maybe you could do it in external view?

 

[Surprised Brony]

Wow, I look forward to this. +rep and thanks in advance for sharing!
:3

Awesome!

Looking forward to it.

Although, now I just want to fly that fast.

C'mon FD. New engines please!

 

[darkwolf79]

This firmly belongs into the category of things I didn't know I want to see!

Good luck CMDR!

Looking forward to see the result.

 

[Gunnet]

Great idea. Will look forward to seeing it finished

Exactly what I was thinking. The galaxy is too pretty to mess up with the HUD.

Or disable the HUD.
Saves trying to get the camera to look the same for each shot.

Have some rep Cmdr

Love the way you can see the dust clouds moving past.

Honestly I don't mind the HUD, I'm assuming it makes it a lot easier to align the shot.

Look forward to the finished vid

 

[Aute]

Sadly that's not possible, due to the game instancing : (

Anyone else stare at the attached .gif for 3 minutes thinking that it was the finished product?
+1 OP. Looking forward to this.

 

[Yaffle]

What a great idea, looking forward to it very much!

 

[CMDR Heisenberg B. Damned]

Yeah Rep from me as well - brilliant idea. I wonder if we'll start seeing cracks creeping across the canopy as well - would if I was doing it

 

[Sir.Tj]

Rep from me as well.

I'll have a quiet word and see if BC thinks it's newsletter worthy etc etc..

I thought it was confirmed by FD that it is not possible to travel between systems without hyperspace. It would be infinite

Read the OP again.

I was expecting this to be the 300th thread about someone trying to Supercruise to the next system, before even taking into account that trip would take about eleventy million years if it were possible. I was like "Man, this guy is going to be in for a lot of disappointment" lol

I'm very pleasantly surprised to find out you aren't completely unhinged. This is a really cool project, and I can't wait to see the end result.

 

[Asadaine]

Very cool,

Looking forward to the full thing.

+1!

Good stuff & repped, but I think somebody has already made a timelapse video/animation already quite some time ago.

 

[WindWpn]

heh, likely that is what Space Engine is for.
