Major Update Released and News

This latest update of Vector 36 has some substantial and juicy updates.

Major News:
I am very pleased to announce that Vector 36 will be available for the PS4 /Morpheus and XBox One in late 2016. I am looking forward to bringing these to the consoles. I am also hoping to have cross platform multiplayer available by then, so stay tuned.

Major Updates:

  • New DLC includes the 4 slot enclosed Garage!
  • Reworked cockpit models and interfaces. Stage 1 full VR support.
  • In-Cockpit pilot model and active IK added.
  • Major optimizations to models and terrain.
  • Rework of initial Skimmer to something easier to fly.
  • Flight model reworked for more stability.
  • Damage model changed to allow "brushing" against objects without total destruction. IE: Less damage :).
  • Popups reworked for VR integration.
  • General stability and glitch fixes.

User Feedback fixes:

  • Skimmer History and initial save states. (A Skimmer undo button!)
  • Garage test mode before edit commitment.
  • More controller support. ( up to 3 controllers at once).
  • Controller input now drives interface making it easier for VR navigation.
  • Currency system more forgiving
  • Garage and edit system slightly more manageable.

Currently known issues:
As always, there is an issue with the Oculus runtime drivers and high end Nvidia cards. This should be addressed in runtime 0.9, but for now 0.8 is REQUIRED for oculus play as it is the only available runtime.

Enjoy!
