While playing the forward-only vehicle, I found that at very steep angles on the spikeygate, and at very low velocities, the gate would not trigger. This seems like a niche event, however while learning the forward-only vehicle, I expect many users to pass through this gate in th

Translation assist remains a simple system, but is slightly more capable when docked to a dockable weight. Translation assist now for Loader. The default keybind to activate or deactivate translation assist is "keypad *" Translation assist can be activated from the "ship settings
basic translation assist (translation damping) for rockhopper. translation assist sets an altitude setpoint whenever the altitude change velocity reaches 0. as with the drone, translation assist has 2 modes: translation assist only while no translation input is given, and transla
Simple prototype translation assist for drone only. My intention is to develop rockhopper with altitude hold next, then make one for the loader which has an advanced "weight connected" translation assist algorithm. This translation assist has two modes, no assist during player tr
Rockhopper angle-mode now works in spin-grav! General stability improvements at steeper tilts. Rockhopper angle-mode works best between 45-60 degrees of tilt. At more extreme tilts, coordinated behavior of the 2-axis controlled by the PID controller does not result in a useful co

First iteration of Rockhopper Angle-Mode. Angle-Mode is activated by selecting the Angle-Mode option under the rotation assist types. Angle-Mode can be accessed from the Ship Settings menu in the Rockhopper Menu, or from the pause menu while playing the Rockhopper. Angle-Mode is

the velocity crosshairs don't point right in 3rd person. It's useable once you get used to the offset which also appears to be speed affected, meaning that depending on how fast you go the offset changes , so I disabled them in all 3rd person views. I am going to experiment with

Rockhopper, One-Gimbal Hopper, and Two-Gimbal Hopper normally have 5 FPV cameras the player may switch to in order to facilitate for capable flight, landing, acceleration, and deceleration etc. (Forward, Down, Up, UpAngle45, DownAngle45) These cameras are simulating IRL style cam

New "Mini-Orders" allow for grouping of hoops into specific combinations with a specific order in two circumstances where hoops otherwise do not have specific ordering. Mini-Orders have no effect during normal ordered courses, where checkpoints are already sequential. Mini-Orders

spin-gravity had a lot of problems like : - moving hoops around after placing them in spin-space would move them to fixed-space - pressing reset while connected to a hoop would not leave the hoop where it was, instead would bring the hoop to the reset location - save/load of hoop
technically when I went to upload this latest patch, I noticed that the one previously uploaded was not live, in other words, it was uploaded but not activated. I don't know why that is, therefore some things might change that are not listed below. -fixed color-change spikey gate
