Looks promising so far. They should make a full 360° 3D cockpit like in Orbiter. With useable MFDs and stuff. Why not adding some true simulation features? That would be awesome.

I didn't try it but it's more first person shooter and trading. It is played in your browser so you need ...

There are quite a few interesting freeware titles I'd recommend. VegaStrike You probably know this already. The best space trading game right after Oolite. Unfortunately development is slow. Space Merchants: Conquerors A very well made space trading sim with great graphics and easy flight controls. ...

You're right there's a bad loop. But it's afterburner2.ogg not the fuel-injection-on.ogg which is mainly a voice sound. So I wonder what that is for.

The new planets in 1.68 look really cool, BUT you have to turn them on!

Press pause and then T. Next time you make a jump, the planet should be nice and clear! :wink:
Wow, I missed that. Looks great! :o
I think the textures should be on by default.

customsound.oxp (PC 1.68)

The customsound.oxp includes the file fuel-injection-on.ogg but it doesn't play when activating the fuel injectors. Is it not implemented yet or is it a bug?

Psychedelic rings are ugly

Hey all. I'm a returning player after taking a break from Oolite. Now that I'm back I thought I also could participate in the forum. First of all I have a very important wish. Well, I love every single aspect of Oolite. I like the gameplay, the style and the graphics. How couldn't I? It all follows ...
