Greetings Explorers!
Many thanks for the great feedback and bug reports. Here are a few initial fixes to sort the most pressing items, especially the issue with the old landing gear not deploying correctly. I took the decision to simply replace the (frankly unreliable) push lever with a button, which is now positioned beneath the landing gear indicator lights (where it actually makes sense to have the control!). The old lever has gone... but I suspect it will return with a new function later as its a nice model!
Full list of changes....
Planetary engine
- Planetary rotation implemented - you can now enjoy watching a gas giant rise over the hills!
Player (planet surface)
- Player movement speed increased
- Adjusted jump power
Ship environment
- Landing gear lever replaced with button
- Landing gear locked warning lights and buzzer implemented
Menus
- Fixed fade to black on main menu
- Updated menu text to replcet current alpha state and version
Notes
I am aware of a bug with the joystick preventing correct use with the left hand and am looking into it further (as it makes no sense at all!) Currently only the right hand can twist the joystick for Yaw control.
This and other requests / bugs will form part of future patches.
