The feedback I’ve been getting so far is great and thanks to your testing I have isolated several bugs that will be fixed very soon.

I’ll try and get it out within the next 2 days, this will unfortunately result in another Leaderboard wipe as some of the data that is being submitted is not accurate.

Update:

The Time Trials Leaderboards are sorted incorrectly. Slow times will appear first. I’ll fix it in the next build release which will just fix any bugs in the release.

The next version of Lunar Flight will be available very soon and features the new Time Trial mode among other additional improvements.

I have reset all the Leaderboard data and will enforce a Stats reset when you login with the next version.

This was done to correct some formatting issues with the previous build…

The Time Trials are almost complete, here’s a video showing a Trial between Alpha to Bravo.

There is a new ‘Trials’ button at the bottom of the Mission Computer (Bottom Left) to access them.

I’ve been experimenting with the Audio as well with each Gate emitting a distinct sound.

This video demonstrates how to earn the Mission Cockpit Bonus as well as how to effectively use the new overhead display. It also demonstrates a change to the Thrust Lock functionality which will be available in the next build.

Contributors have been mailed the new update if you haven’t recieved the email let me know.

As usual here is a video demonstrating the new features.

Changes:

• – Create Pilot Login
• – Pilot Leaderboards with automatic data submission
• – Overhead Display (Top(F9), Map(F10), Navpoint(F11), Velocity(F12)) (Add 2 Defaults)
• – Overhead Display (Cockpit Buttons, Click to select mode)
• – Landing Aid Display
• – Removed Drag Assisted Mode!
• – New Music Track From Jason ‘The Passing Of Nibiru
• – Added new stats (Expenditure, Missions Attempted, Completed, Failed, Number of Out Of Fuel)
• – Nav info displayed in Fullscreen (Offset Bottom Left)
• – Fixed Keyboard Input Bug (Keyboard thrust not functioning after using controller)
• – Mission Range payment Bonus

• – Changed Need for Speed Achievment requirement to 20ms
• – Sparks spawn correctly when crashed
• – Fuel is now $1 per unit

I’ve added a new display that shows the Lunar Modules relative alignment with the landing pad. It is displayed on the Heading Display when you are within 5 meters of the selected navpoint.

This video shows the additional Navpoint Tracking Camera on the Cockpit Monitor Display.

It demonstrates how to use it in combination with the velocity vector to setup a controlled descent into a landing.

I managed to get a little work done this weekend. There is now a Monitor Display in the Cockpit that can be cycled to either the Map, Top Down Camera or the new Velocity Vector Direction Camera. The Display further improves the pilots ability to fly with confidence from the Fullscreen Cockpit view.

While I was at it I made the Service Display Animate and it also offsets when in fullscreen to prevent it from obscuring the new Monitor.

These features are demonstrated in the video below and will ofcourse be available in the next Lunar Flight release.
