PS

I think, too, will not work. We need to change the position of the object, not the position of the geometry.

[SteelRat]

PS 2

Probably have to write a lightweight AI that will manage the remote object, that is, use the command for motion technique.

Code: [Select]

this.extra_force(params);
this.wheel_force(params);
this.wheel_brake(params);
...

thanks,  wasn't aware of geom.move({ x: gx, y: gy, z: gz });

I'll  give it a try.

[cameni]

set_pos on geom will only move the geometry, but not the position in physics. There's set_pos on vehicle itself that will do what you need.

Edit: um, actually that's not present on the vehicle physics object

When I, too, wondered why this is not)

Edit: We need to add a method this.remove_from_scene(). To properly remove the object.

I think I've finally got it...

Aircraft are still a bit jumpy but I think that's due to the 100ms latency I've hardcoded in as a test.

I can say though... Multiplayer Outerra with a Rift is REALLY COOL!

Just want  to say too..Levi's Heinkel_He51 is absolutely beautiful !

New line of questioning now

Weather.... It's not actually possible to make it sunny at point A and cloudy at point B is it?
The weather is basically global right?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that's the case. At this point I would even enjoy just the ability to create and save weather themes, Instead of having to create something for each session.

Manually set weather is global. Automatic one will vary also depending on the location, albeit in uncontrollable manner, obviously.

[langdon]

Thanks,

That's what I thought.
I was thinking of something like REX Weather architect for Outerra.
I can change the global weather on-the-fly based on data from somewhere like openweathermap.org  but I won't have the ability to place bad weather in a particular location that you can see in the distance and avoid.

There was some mention of: "- sketch API to draw lines, images (C++)"  in July last year.
Does this exist for us yet and is there any info on it somewhere?

[cameni]

It exists, but it's unstable (api-wise) so we didn't publish it yet.

[langdon]

I know a lot of folks here are flight simmers and probably have Active Sky Next already.
I could interface with ASN  for weather which I think updates every 15mins and has historical data and the ability to save weather 'profiles'

BUT... a lot of people won't have it...There's a service openweather.org that I can use (or even weather underground) but people would need to apply  for a FREE api key to use it. Also..it's data is 2 hours behind real time.

Both options would be great but one has to come first

Anybody wanna give an opinion?

[Acetone]

I would say openweather.org, since there are not only flight sim enthusiasts in OT, and even in this crowd, I'm not sure everyone has bought Active sky

Thanks a lot for your work langdon, it's very interesting to see what you are doing with the engine

@cameni,

Is it possible to have multiple cloud layers?

I don't see anything in env.h that indicates it would be possible.
