News Sneak Peek - Europa from orbit

[Freaker]

Very cool love the subtle way the flight HUD flickered into life.

 

[CMDR RaoulDuke]

Looks fine to me, release the beta

 

[Ydiss]

Am I the only one wanting him to fly closer?

No, I'm not

 

[W4rSkuLL]

OMG I was sure the ship was going to land, nice teaser. It seems very seamless and smooth. Very nice When can we see a transition with a landing?

 

[mossfoot]

NICE! Great to see the little things as the HUD changes on approach!

 

[Cosmos]

Friday has always been a much better day than Monday in my experience

 

[Ozric]

Just watched it...

You are a terrible terrible man David!!!!

I don't think it's possible to tease something more than that!

"Oh yes! Going in for landing!!!!!!!!!"

*nope*

Remember how you said you wanted the whole transition to be a surprise

Fantastic sneak peek, thanks David. Cannot wait for Monday (or whenever it's ready)!!!

 

[Caramel Clown]

Nice. Notice the supercruise speed going below current limit of 30km/s. I think many questions about orbital cruise are answered)

 

[Iskariot]

Great video.
Horizons is a game changer. No doubt about it.

 

[Jon flint]

Oooh, canyon runs on europa will be epic

 

[Tinman]

What I actually said was this:

At this point I'm more of the opinion that this is something they want us to experience for ourselves instead of it being something we watch in a video.

Don't get me wrong...if they published a video I would watch it in a heartbeat, but I much rather experience it myself the first time.

So the transition from orbit to surface is still bugged? This is probably reason why beta was delayed

 

[TheStonefox]

I still want to see the transition from orbital cruise to surface flying. I'm hoping it's not as jarring and slow as when you drop out of super cruise to a station

I'm a little terrified if getting interdicted in orbital cruise and pancaking a planet...

I heard that it is like dropping out of supercruise... But I'm not too worried about it. I'm used to that transition. But, like others, I would love it if the technology progressed to the point that even with the networking and instancing issues, this became more seamless.

Where was the bug? Apart from some visible patches on the surface as the higher lod popped in I saw nothing indicating a problem.
