Mhhhh I do remember some threads from just about one or two months ago where people were talking about how "3.0" would come right after "2.6" ... maybe even as soon as Christmas or shortly after ... haha LOL.

Half my dreams are nightmares, and the other half are horrors beyond description.

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

They say that Star Citizens have no present. Only a past filled with horrors, and a future they can only dream of.

from our odyssey into development hell, we return with a gift which should be in public testing within three weeks

It's even worse in motion, there is still that energy triangle thing that was crappy already in Wing Commander V and it's still crappy now.

Even with zooming some menus are still barely readable.

One: why does the helmet overlay have a delayed reaction to head movement?
Two: Those are UI sounds from Elite: Dangerous. So many comparisons already.
Three: Oh good, clickable surfaces. It's DCS in spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace

I hope it still takes half an hour's shooting to kill stuff so you have time to navigate windows explorer in your cockpit.

On the plus side, that cockpit doesn't obscure your view of the outside in a horribly obnoxious manner.  On that level it's actually pretty good.  Shame the displays are dumb.

Do you really want me to draw a mask over that cockpit to show you how it obscures more than 50% of the screen area?

 
Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
Yeah, and then you can look at a real world aircraft and see how the same thing happens in real life. Not that I'm justifying their choice. Just saying you're complaining about something that is equivalent to real life.

Uh-huh. So why is it that real-world aircraft don't have displays you have to cycle through with arrow buttons to get to? Why isn't the ETS its own gauge? That seems like something you'd need up-front, but it's not. Weapons and fuel, too. Real-world aircraft have everything clearly marked and displayed in a manner that allows for quick recognition so the pilot doesn't have to look away for more than a few seconds. The only thing that changes is the MFDs, but even those have clearly marked options to choose from.

Actually look at how real-world aircraft cockpits operate, then try to compare. I mean... do you even know how cockpits work or do you just know how they look in movies and ****?

Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
I was talking about how much of the view is obscured by the craft itself. Not the lousy MFDs that should have individual buttons for each function.
