The lights are good old LED arrays inbedded in the hull and covered with a diffused epoxy lens set flush with the hull surface. Then the hull surface is anodized, painted over with several clearcoats, and waxed to perfection. If only overland vehicles were built with that much care.

My mind is now at ease and all is explained. The question, to which the answer is 42 has been revealed.

No seriously. Like your explanation.

i know what im getting for my birthday, a new graphics card and a whole lot of ram, simply so i can get 1.71
Hmm. I play Oolite 1.72.2 on a lowspeced machine myself, with full shaders enabled and decent framerates.

Athalon XP singlecore CPU, a Geforce FX based video card with 128MB onboard, and about a gig of system ram. I run WinXP on that box, nLited and tweaked to squeeze gaming performance out of it. It's no powerhouse compared to the machines on the shelves nowadays, but it gets the job done.

nice, thanks for the tips but i think the problem is my pc is only 512 MB and only an athalon 64, so is relatively weak, but i know what to get now.
(sorry for going off on a tangent on this thread)

@0235 - I'm running an Athlon XP2800+ and a 128MB FX5900XT so similar spec to you - BUT I do have 1GB RAM - surely you can squeeze another 512MB in somewhere - oobay/ebay is your friend...

Are you sure?

512MB of DDR seems to be approx 50% more expensive than DDR2, and neither are that expensive, about £10-£15

DDR is cheap. If'n you want expensive, hunt for some old skool SDRAM, or worse, SIMM sticks.

More playing around with alternate/custom textures, and the metallic shader effects.
A little goldflake on the stock silver skin. My personal spaceplane, the Stellar Gypsy.

Eat your heart out, Burt Rutan.

So it does. Bummer.

I've got it lurking in my AddOns folder. I'll repackage it, and upload it to my Box.net account. Watch this space.

Ah thats good to know, I'd have been disappointed when I got home to find I couldn't get a copy of this.

Ok, it's in my Box. Linky: http://www.box.net/shared/7ebx1i3v8k

I believe this is a slightly toned down version of the original. Anyway, enjoy it, my friends.
