Well I try to limit feature requests to things that can reasonably be done within this decade :lol:. I dont know though, KSP has implemented a proper walking animation for the kerbalnauts, but properly animating a persons walking cycle/motions seems awfully hard to do in orbiter while keeping it reasonably FPS friendly.
You know, it might actually be feasible and look OK if the walk was more of that "moon hop" thing instead of a traditional walk cycle. Most of the planets you're going to be out walking around on will have lower gravity than Earth and so probably would result in an astronaut loping like that instead of walking smoothly.
It would be a lot easier, I think, to animate the body just rocking back and forth as the legs move forward and "pogo" a little each time. It might even look OK if you only animated the whole leg swinging forward at the hips and just instantly bouncing off the ground.
Anyway, can't wait for all the new stuff. The Arrow looks like it's going to rock my face off.
