Oolite Bulletins

I'm a total noob and haven't flown hardly anywhere, but is there a big difference between simple and full shaders? I haven't seen alot to compare the two, but it doesn't seem real dramatic to me?

So it's just an issue with the introductory models and the shaders are stable to use for the game itself?

I have an nVidia 6800 128 mb card that will handle 3.0 shaders. I have Sungs ship textures and PA groove stations installed. If I have the shaders set to simple, the beginning of the game shows different ship and station models clearly. However, if I use Full shaders, the models become very dark. In...

Thanks, Svengali

I'll install the Hyperradio into add ons and the 3 music packs into add ons. After I buy the Hyperradio, will it play random songs then from the 3 packs?

So I download the Hyperradio oxp and place it in add ons as usual, or in the music folder? Does this come with default music, or do I need to add the music packs separate? I've read the read me, these are my questions.

Is there any music to go w/ Oolite in-game? My pilot is lonesome.

Thanks - I'll keep looking!

I installed the PAGroove Stations oxp into my add ons folder. I started the game and the starting station I leave from doesn't really look any different. Any help? Playing vers 1.71.2

Do not all stations change?

Other than some keymap differences, how much of the game mechanics in the Elite manual can I assume are accurate for Oolite?

When I enable the mouse and have to use roll I feel like I'm gonna barf all over my cockpit. http://www.xandrah.com/images/SpinningIllusion.gif
Sort of like that.
I should see if there is a way to reduce the sensitivity or something. For now give me keyboard + yaw.

The second paragraph of the installation description says to hold down the Shift key while it loads up. I assume this is only when updating from a previous version of Random Hits, not a new install?

I've never used a joystick either, and like Jar I found that yawing does my head in... I fly from the keyboard but I wouldn't recommend using the arrow keys as they're not best placed. The control keys are fully adjustable -- see the wiki for details. I like the arrow keys sort of away from the oth...

I've never owned a joystick and have been playing space games for a long time. I managed to configure the arrow keys to turn my ship left and right rather than rolling, which has helped alot. It's still quite a bit different than I am used to, as in X3, Freelancer, Privateer, etc - games I play with...

Thanks - I'll try your suggestions tonight!
