The trailer from Tippis Shows working AI and physic girds i think

Outlanders is basically Beuowulf in a new light.May I humbly recommend Outlander (2008), produced by our own Chris Roberts.
I watched it with mates back in the early days of streaming, and marvelled at its terribleness. Vikings meet soft sci fi in a clash of bad dialogue, lavished with slick production values. (Crob’s production house actually got some fun flicks over the line. But good lord is this amongst their ranks for all the wrong reasons. High fidelity, zero coherence. Spent the whole flick going ‘Who thought any this was a good idea??’
Also, The Jacket and Lord of War, and The Punisher are all good films, not to mention Lucky Number Slevin.
Calling ED a sim completely invalidates anything else you might say.
I do love me some DCS, and don't quite have all of their planes yet.
Such a learning curve though. I like it a lot.
Mig-21 bby. It's what real men fly.
Nice! Many things in SC's planets (landscape, details, shaders, and now weather) reminds me a lot of Mad Max the game. Impressive sandstorms in this exquisite game, and deadly. Do SC weather influence ships' behavior?
At the moment not at all, but apparently it's been in the works for some time (winds, blow-by effects of thrusters..). I wouldnt count on it too early given the workload of the two poor souls working on the whole physics of the game. That would be nice, but be prepared for the concerto of cries about crosswind landings making the game suddenly more "difficult"...
Have to see how it actually plays out....

Imagine if they had a physics-based flight model that was affected by internal and external parameters and inputs as opposed to an input model that magically conjured out parameters that determined the nature of physics…
That would be really helpful when trying to make weather parameters matter.

It's not DCS...so it doesn't really matter. As long as it improves from what we've got... eventually, it'll do for a space game.Imagine if they had a physics-based flight model that was affected by internal and external parameters and inputs as opposed to an input model that magically conjured out parameters that determined the nature of physics…

Man the F35 basic is sweet, with the wrap around curved screen!!! Space games would be amazing on that.
Is this a matter of the frog not realizing the temperature is rising in the pot while the expectations are simultaneously being lowered?

The Best Damn Space(?) Simulator(?) Ever!
You ought to know me by now...do you honestly think I ever believed the BDSSE stuff at any point?Is this a matter of the frog not realizing the temperature is rising in the pot while the expectations are simultaneously being lowered?
All I'm saying is that it's a space game, not a simulation ...in the same way that Elite is to be fair...and I loved the sense of flying a spaceship in Elite. Hellion or Kerbal or Space Engineers have more sim elements...and we're not going for Newtonian physics in Star Citizen here...the flight model and physics model simply have to be adequate enough to convey the illusion of the spacey WW2 flying thing to whoever is 'flying' the ship...no matter how it cheats to achieve this.
The flight model in SC as it is in this current iteration isn't as bad as it has been fer sure, it's not great but it's adequate enough that flying with my HOTAS, the big ships feel heavy-ish and the lighter ships are more maneuverable. More importantly, it's moved on from the turrets in space thing it was previously...I've no doubt it'll be changed at some point along the way, we'll see what Ci¬G come up with.

They did a great job with NMS, no doubt, but it's not really apples-to-apples. NMS never had the stomach-churning transition animations, it never had wannabe CoD-style PvP, it never had the (seemingly downgraded) "fidelity" of SC (and the performance issues), or the unified animation system, or the inconsistent UI. Pretty much all of the things SC fans would cite as improvements over NMS would be prohibitive when it comes to VR. And VR support was fairly inevitable in NMS given the backing by Sony with their own PSVR headset. VR in SC has always just been another exercise in wishful thinking, box-ticking and backer-baiting by Roberts. If they ever flip the VR switch it will be tier 0, MVP like everything else in the game, and essentially unusable and only there so Roberts can say they have it.
Yeah it looks decent enough, some of the 'top down' footage too.
OA was lauding v4 stuff based on the citcon demo & pre-release concept art though, which was the main thing I was having a dig at
. Better to wait til it hits the live build to judge it. (Citcon has form for side-builds and glitz-max depictions that don't always pan out for a start . And the PU is where we'll get to see the rubber hit the road properly)Now seeing as it's kinda on topic, here's an existing NMS snowstorm in VR for later compare and contrast
Ah yes, I remmeber the early days when backers declared "CIG are going to release a polished finished product, not a buggy mess like FD did with ED!" I think many still had the idea back then that CIG were going to have a full polished product within a few years. But the rally became "take as long as you want CIG!" to which CIG said, sure, and are doing so, very literally.
And yet, here we are, SC, released or unreleased, is sitll a very limited and buggy product, with no inidication of when it will become that finished polished product people dreamed of. Even trying to discuss that on the SC sub will get you cries for "hater", "troll" and "CIG can take as long as they want", for simply wanting to question when there might be a polished releasable product.
Perhaps its not so much what they are saying, but what they are not saying.
While this gives CIG some control over Turbulent, it also gives Turbulent some control over CIG.
Does CIG have a new board member now? Is there one more person on the board who can vote against Chris' crazier ideas?
Don't you mean IF everything comes together and works right, it MIGHT be a great experience?
