Patch Notes
Progress update - Landing system (and bugs, bugs and more bugs)
Hi all,
Just checking in again to keep you up to date on the progress of the next build. I am now in the latter stages of tweaking the features and crushing the bugs and also working though each version to make sure it works - each build needs to be bug free on monitor, HTC Vive, Oculus (with joypad) and Oculus with touch controllers!
Here are some screen shots of the final feture that needed to be added to the landing sequence, the landing bag! Due to the relatively small parachute this inflatable sack was necessary to cushion the impact on the water. If anyone is familiar with the real flight of Friendship 7 (John Glenn) this bag is what they were worried about, thinking it had deployed in space making the heat shield useless!… fortunately it turned out to be a faulty warning light :)
