Alright, chaps. Imp Courier/Merlin AF fan here, anyone seen a fresh Merlin model with working "wings" or a particularly badass Impy?
Haven't really played Frontier since the Amiga, low poly count + imagination = the greatest, most evil ship design ever; the new models are a bit of a letdown, tbh.

Suppose I'd better contribute something while I'm here - here's a GlovePIE script I use with my ghetto-modded original xbox controller (uses XBCD drivers), right stick is independent thrusters. Works pretty well if you're a fighter pilot or like doing base runs.

// RIGHT JOYSTICK, LEFT IS STD JOYSTICK

if (-1.2 < Joystick.xrot < -0.5) {
key.NUMPAD7 = 1
}
if (-0.5 < joystick.xrot < -0.0) {
key.NUMPAD7 = 0
}

if (0.5 < joystick.xrot < 1.2) {
key.NUMPAD9 = 1
}

if (0.0 < joystick.xrot < 0.5) {
key.NUMPAD9 = 0
}

if (-1.2 < joystick.yrot < -0.5) {
key.NUMPAD1 = 1
}
if (-0.5 < joystick.yrot < -0.0) {
key.NUMPAD1 = 0
}

if (0.5 < joystick.yrot < 1.2) {
key.NUMPAD4 = 1
}

if (0.0 < joystick.yrot < 0.5) {
key.NUMPAD4 = 0

}

//dpad
keyboard.U = Joystick.POV1Up
keyboard.L = Joystick.POV1Right
keyboard.Tab = Joystick.POV1Left
F5 = Joystick.POV1Down

//Start/Select
Shift + key.F1 = Joystick.Button8 //Start
Esc = Joystick.Button7 //select

//Buttons A/B/X/Y
keyboard.Tab = Joystick.Button1
keyboard.Space = Joystick.Button2
keyboard.E = Joystick.Button3
keyboard.M = Joystick.Button4

//White & black
LeftBracket = Joystick.Button5
RightBracket = Joystick.Button6

//Trigs L&R
RightShift = Joystick.button11
Return = Joystick.button12

//Stick clicks L&R
F1 = Joystick.button9
F2 = Joystick.button10

I think it's fair to say the project has ended. After all, if Dreamzz was still working on the game, he would surely have mentioned the fact on the bulletin board.

If I'm reading what you say correctly, I assume someone has made a Youtube video which just happens to have a lifter docked in the station/starport.

The thread posted here has links to the russian site which has loads of mods for ships including the lifter. It's worth a read through as theirs a lot of good info on where you can find all the mods and addons.

Hope it helps.

There's been a little bit of activity over at Elite Games Russia, with regard to FFED3D.

Firstly, some new bits and bobs for the city buildings...

Secondly, the Imperial Trader now has the correct number of engines ;)

There are also rumours on the Russian-language parts of the forums that a new build is in the pipeline. Unfortunately, online translator programs fail to cope with Russian-English conversion very well, so I don't actually know what's gonna happen, or when :(

That City looks pretty damn good.

Glad that FFE3d Is still being worked on, they have done a incredible job to update the games graphics.

The pictures I've put up with the latest developments have also been posted at Elite Games Russia's forum.

I've tried about 20 times, with various user names and email addresses, but I cannot register there. :mad:

Maybe by posting here I can pass on the message that I, and others here, appreciate the continued work on FFED3D.

Hope there's more to come! :)

I realised without the CD ROM I cannot get the videos. Is it possible to get the avatars from Frontier Elite 2? I love the old skool pixel graphics!
