    Flight Cmdr 1.6 Released

    Not much new progress to report. I got quite a ways on 1.7, but then my computer died. All the files are recovered, but I still haven't gotten a new one yet. I suppose I could release a 1.7 beta, but it would be a while before I had any time to work on new features. Sorry.

    Mars Rover Launch Saturday.

    As a member of the flight software team, I wrote a good chunk of the fault protection software, which kicks in if there's a problem and the rover has to fix itself. I'm also involved with various higher level behaviors, such as telling the spacecraft to turn, and getting the spacecraft setup as...

    Mars Rover Launch Saturday.

    Get ready for the Saturday launch of our Mars rover. The launch coverage will be streamed live on Ustream at 6:30 am pacific time http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl . I worked on the flight software for our rover for about the last 5 years, so it's a real exciting event to get to launch day. Wish...

    Ejection Sequence

    I believe its assigned in an xml file, don't remember off the top of my head. Check campaign.xml or constants.xml or settings.xml, it should be in there some where. You can't change the cutscene, but you can change the pickup ship.

    HUD Components

    Sorry, the hud locations are fixed. This is because it takes quite a few equations to try to generate nice looking huds for any arbitrary video resolution.

    fan projects wiki

    Hi all: After some chatting today, I realized the current projects page is a bit out of date. https://www.wcnews.com/fanprojects/index.shtml So I've started a wiki page. Just linked in actually released projects, or those that are actively being worked up. Hopefully, that will help people new...

    WCSO Bullet.Iff

    Let's get that fixed, I want .obj bullets to work. Please file a bug report, and please do attach the .obj file to the bug report.

    WCSO Bullet.Iff

    Right, so FC doesn't handle camera-facing weapons (appearance 1). FC only does beams or meshes. I've handled this by just making a spherical mesh myself (like for the mass drivers). And FC doesn't scale meshes, but that's something one could do with a 3d program usually, if you have the .obj...

    Different Direction....Robotech?

    Yes I see the problem. FC expects each material to have a .bmp texture. It doesn't handle just painted polygon meshes
