The return of the DeltagliderIII (DGIV)

[Strogoff]

Another Great work from Dan... autodocking...  another way to make DGIV THE addon to have !

[Genesis]

Sorry to have to be the one to be the impatienced, slimbag here but when is this fabulous new craft going to become available?

I had to stop using the DG III because of the visual errors of having the nosecone and the gear look likes it's open when it
is actually closed.  It took the fun out of using the wonderful DG III.

Did I read this wrong or does the new DG has a built-in docking computer?  I gottta have it!!!!!
When oh when do we get to download this treat?????

Sorry for being over eager, but I'm certain you all understand.

 OUCH!  Rough Debugging the brave new world, eh Dan?
I was curious if the MMU was going to have visual flame or a burst of smoke emission at first ignition?
No demands... Just wondering.

Problem is that Mmu is done also for other authors that may use any mesh they want...
in this case the exhaust would be wrong so it would require config file etc etc

My heart style balance: KISS or more complicated ? (less used?)

WELL known bug. Just press F3, switch vessels, switch back.(note: the vessel should be far away)

Hello all!  This is my first post in the forum.  I've been an Orbinaut for about 4 months now.  Just now getting around
to taking time to join the forums.  I actually first discovered Orbiter back in '04, but didn't have time to get into it.  I
happened across it again over the summer, and I've been hooked since.  

Anyway, before I get off-topic for the thread, I can't wait for the DGIV.  The pics look awesome.  I'm drooling on my
keyboard at the EVA shots.  

I can see many nights sitting for hours in front of the screen when I get my hands on the MarkIV.  

Keep up the good work, Dan!

 same thing for me, I don't know where it come from, but this make me even  more impatient at the realease of the DG IV

I know demanding new features is usually uncool, but wouldn't it be cool if we could do a full eject from the DGIV ?
  Maybe blow off the canopy and rocket out free and clear?

Something like this...



Of course your crew would have to take the side doors for their exits, but wouldn't this be cool?

[felixar90]

Je seconde cette proposition

             
(I did not know how to say this in English)
this would be SOOOOOOOO coool.

So much for me, sorry for not posting news here but instead on M6... too busy...
For those that wonder, Eject is done and Reekchaa's picture show this new feature
(I posted it on M6)

Almost finished, it miss chute for Mmu in case they eject in atmosphere
and some logic stuff... (and eject button on panel)

Also done is Seat belt button On = spacesuit Seat belt button off= cloth:



One cannot eject if they don't wear spacesuit, To eject either you use Panel's button
either you press three time on ESC keyboard key.

Edited the "square thingy"

[DanSteph]

No need to go to M6 this time






And here height corrected, wire should be 1.5x diameter of chute.

[DanSteph]

First a small chute to get a reasonnable speed to deploy the big one: (old screen, mesh changed yet)




It's D'Day
