Hey Guys,
It wasn’t officially on our road-map, but we hope you’ll approve of this update. We’ve added an experimental local desktop control for the control room so that someone can play using the monitor and mouse at the same time as someone using the VR headset. When you’re using desktop controls, you can switch between your controls and what the VR player can see by pressing the spacebar.
Some points to note:
- Local controls can be turned on/off in the menu
- Local controls are available in single player mode
- Local controls are only available to the host in multiplayer mode
We’ve had a lot of fun with this in testing, let us know what you think.
We have now added underwater terrain which can be used to avoid Sonar if you have landed on or are very close to the sea bed. Use the Depth Under Keel Gauge (next to the depth gauge) to judge your descent and use the underwater terrain display (above the rudder) to find a suitable location to land. Carefully!
Other changes:
- You now take less damage in the orange depth zone.
- Some texture improvements.
- Minor network stability fixes.
Next up we’re going to be adding a new enemy ship type along with extra missions.
