Oolite Bulletins

Hi all, I've just acquired a pair of Saitek Pro flight rudder pedals (budget wouldn't stretch to the combat ones) and OOlite only recognises the toe axes :( I had to give up using the twist-stick for yaw on my logitech Extreme 3D pro (not very well made stick, so either the pot is 'scratchy' or the ...

Now that I'm in the same system as a serpent (that was difficult enough to organise - they always seem to appear halfway across the galaxy) how do I actually find the flippin' thing?


I want to see what happens when I insert this here nuclear torpedo I 'found' into it....

And a jolly fine idea it is too - not anyone's fault but mine that it freaks me out... That's why I wanted to check I wasn't treading on anyone's toes if I worked up my own set and offered it up to anyone who might be interested. I've just grabbed a bunch of ATC chat and audio clips from NASA and th...

Thanks Svengali and Kaks. I believe I can see it now. Still thinking I might work up a few sound clips of my own rather than leaving it "dead air". I can see that a bit of ATC chatter will add ambience and make the game even more immersive. At the risk of just being cheeky now - another qu...

Forgot to add - on the subject of generating additional sounds for radio chatter - grab a bunch of clips of NASA radio traffic, ATC chatter and the like. Perhaps pass it through some filters to muffle it somewhat and thus make it impossible to pick out any actual words/phrases so as not to ruin the ...

All in all - an excellent OXP that adds a lot to my enjoyment of the game. I could use a little assistance in modifying it though - assuming that's OK... I found the radio chatter got pretty wearing pretty quickly. My own fault, I know - I just find the sound of the English language playing backward...

Course laid in Commander. Many Thanks. If you happen to be in the vicinity of Inines when I Witch in, there's a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster or two in it for you... :D <edit> Or, if alcohol isn't your thing - I happen to know where I can get a good deal on some nice edible poets... ;) </edit>

Just an idea for those of us who need a Sat-Nav IRL to get from A to B - how about a mod that lets me set a target system and plots a route for me from where I am to where I wanna go? Trying to navigate some of the galaxies is a bit tricky - I've often found myself in the position where I can't get ...

I guess, if we're going to post-rationalise ship performance, then there's more to it than just the size of the vessel and the location/power output of it's maneuvering thrusters. It's also very largely dependent on the structural strength of the hull and internal construction. Pitch, roll and yaw w...
