Oolite Bulletins

Hi guys,
Is it possible to have an external view of my ship whilst flying.
If so what keys do I need to press.
I have version 1.71.2.

Greetings, Captain Taylor! If the ship is one of the native ships from Oolite, i.e. not an OXP ship, then pressing the 'v' button should bring up the external views. If it's an OXP ship and the 'v' button doesn't work you can get the 'External Views' OXP and graft in one of the native ship views (not sure where it goes, I'm actually sneaking this in from work!).

P.S. Welcome to the Friendliest Board This Side of Reidquat! Would you like a cute and fluffy companion to see you through the long trading journeys? Only Cr30?

Hi, Captain Tylor, and a warm welcome from my side as well!

It would help to know which ship you are flying. Anyway, as Hesperus pointed out, the default key for switching to external views (and scrolling through ten different perspectives(!), by the way) is "V".

Have fun!

Thanks Guys V does the job.
Great to be 14 again better get back and see if I can get back trading. aAbove Average is around the corner.

Oh yes what a way to spend my day off

He's hooked.

Who's going to break the news to him?

Cheers,

Drew.

Thanks for that Captain.

Good to hear you're enjoying my small contributions to Oolite, it's not on a par with all the awesome OXP and techy goodness that goes into the game, but you do what you can.

Mutabilis will be coming out week by week until mid November-ish, ten chapters in all.

Cheers,

Drew.

I don't know why, but some captains don't like them. They catch one from their cargo bay, put it in a empty canister and eject the canister.
Bad trader mentality, they better try to sell them at the nearest station.

But they better stay away from my Scotch... especially when it is my last bottle... ;_)

Has it been established at any point which planet is the original home of the Trumbles? Or are they some kind of genetically engineered annoyance?

Cheers,

Drew.

The answer is readily available.

Captain Hesperus

Ah.. will have a look at home. Wiki's are unaccessible at work.

Cheers,

Drew.
