Coolness!

I noticed the relative lack of snow as, well but assumed it was being deliberately suppressed for some reason. Oh, well, still looks great.

Is the tree species distribution totally random? Would be nice to have some kind of clusters of specific trees.
I have just implemented some clustering there:



Do you still plan to implement 3D-trees at some point or is that a major performance hurdle?
I can't imagine OT not ending up with 3D trees :)
But there's also a lot of work and research to have their rendering efficient on this large scale, switching of detail levels seamless as possible etc.

I click on my Outerra icon and it says "Checking for new version" and it doesn't download the new update for some reason. It just skips it. Anyone have a remedy or experiencing the same problems?

Yes, me too. Similar. Outerra launches. I'm on 0.8.0 I think...there's a red entry in the log but it scrolls off too quickly for me to read it.

Yes I have the same version as you and when I try to go to manually download the new version off this forum I get a 404 error.

Clustering looks nice. Can we get it (together with snowy mountain tops)?
I counted 7 different species, though all quite low-rez. Is this for performance reasons?

There was a problem with the US data server after OS upgrade, should be resolved now.

Interesting that UK is closer to the US NY server than to Amsterdam, latency-wise ???

They should be on par with the resolution of the previous single tree, though there are some issues with DXT compression and filtering. We have also better resolutions, might be released extra. Concern is only for the amount of GPU memory they will take, but people with 2GB+ should be fine.

New build will be released ... maybe tonight.

I suppose it's a matter of taste ..

neato.

When do you think features like glows or simplified ufo-based flight models might be added?

Finally got to use the full Google Map overlay.  Damn, that's awesome! 

But it's a bit unwieldy (also, took me a while to figure out how to change the opacity), but it syncs great.  But models disappearing is gonna need to be fixed (I believe this happens when the object isn't being rendered/is out of view before you open the map overlay).  Most importantly for buildings. 

Is it possible to make panning the map work smoother?  Also, there's still my old complaint that you can't zoom in as far in satellite mode, so if that's fixable, that would be awesome.  Like allowing it to zoom to distances in between what Google Maps snaps to.  I know it does that for image quality, etc... and... probably other reasons.

Also, I'm not sure what the purpose of having what shift+G does is.

And Map mode when using the minimap should probably default to having terrain on, so it's not transparent and hard to read.
