Made the game to save in appdata/oolite/home instead of real home.

Downsized texture (fixing the short range map white background).

> 256) textures (so even texture inside OXP)

The launch script put a copy of some plist file for easing hacking.

The downsize of large textures has been improved.

Added 'backspace' to toggle precision Joystick (left nub) roll/pitch.

espeak support compiled in, but not working (don't use, unless you like silence).

Make ANA screen more readable, by enlarging and changing color of fonts.

updated to latest openal, Speech Synthesis now work!.

attempt to fix accessibilitie of special keys (namely ' |+', at least : works).

#OOLITE ADDONS UPDATE#

If on earlier firmware, no need to update.

Compatible with Firmware 1.62 and later.

Latest gl4es, with selectable backend (default to ES2 on Gigahertz and ES1.1 on CC & Rebirth).

Fixes to gl4es that improved lighting quality of GLES2 backend.

Made minimum detail the default value (still configuration in the pause option screen).

See github of gl4es for detail on the shrink value (in USAGE.md) Note that the detail level 'Extra Details' is very nice, but will slow down the game play in a significant way when close to a planet.ДЄlso, you can choose the 'shrink' level apply on texture by creating a file name '.shrink' in appdata/oolite. Use 1 for the more compatible GLES 1.1 backend. The file '.es' (inside appdata/oolite) contains 1 o 2 depending on the backend use. Starting with Build 17, the backend for gl4es is selectable. Starting from Build 03, there are some keymap for the Pandora Use the left_nub and right_nub file (inside appdata/oolite) to change that. (hint: to quit, do P than F2 to have the Quit option, or Shift-ESC to immediate quit, to launch, it's F1).ДЄlso, note that the nubs are swith to FPS Mode, left nub as joystick, right nub as mouse. The learning curve is steep but the rewards and satisfaction are fantastic.This is an almost vanilla compile, only screen resolution has been adapted to the Pandora. If you want any advice on what's good and what to avoid, drop me a PM.

#OOLITE ADDONS FREE#

The ready for pushback 747 classic for FS9 is free on avsim, it's dated in terms of graphics quality but not in systems simulations. Manfred Jahns constellation for fs9 is superb as are David Maltby's DHC comet, BAC 111. On the other hand there are some freeware gems too. They have an official partnership with Boeing and their latest 737 models some astounding stuff.Д«e warned though, there are heaps of addons on places like sim market but many are very poorly modeled and the systems fidelity is totally absent. are widely regarding as THE add on company in the FS world.

#OOLITE ADDONS UPGRADE#

It's a big step when you have much money invested in fs9.Д¬heck out Leonardo for an awesome MD 80, Captain Sim for the 707, 727, and 737 classic, PMDG for the 747, 737 NG, MD 11, JS 31 and upcoming projects such as the 777, DC 6 ( that one alone is reason to upgrade for me).

#OOLITE ADDONS INSTALL#

I hope to upgrade my system this year and install FSX. FSX is 7 years old but the systems able to run it well are only now becoming available and affordable to the average simmer. The catch ( for me at least) is that to get FSX to run at high settings with addon aircraft, weather and scenery takes loads of computing power. FsX has more companies developing addons these days, such as the PMDG 737 NGX and the FS labs Concorde which have taken the benchmark for high fidelity addons to a whole new level of realism.

Fs9 is older but there are still developers making good addons for it. The PMDG aircraft and the others are addon aircraft for Microsoft flightsim. However it is my real passion and I love it dearly. It's not a hobby I share with too many people as few actually get it and most think I'm a real geek. Of course you get no sensation of motion and I don't for a second believe I could fly a real 747, but I could definitely start her up and program the Fmc no worries at all. He's been retired for 10 years and I actually flew the approach more accurately than he did. We shot some approaches into Kai Tak (Hong Kong's old airport) in the PMDG 747 and even he was amazed at the realism. I have a mate who is an ex airline pilot.

#OOLITE ADDONS SOFTWARE#

I use real world weather and flight planning software to generate real world flight plans all to try and make my hobby as real as possible within the confines of a computer. Real world pilots use them for training and they are a constant challenge for the layman. They are amazing products with systems simulations like you would not believe. I go for the really high fidelity airliner sims such as the PMDG 747 and MD 11, SSTSIM Concorde, Level D 767 etc. I fly with three virtual airlines where I log my flight hours. Probably got thousands of dollars invested in add on aircraft, scenery and flight controls.
