Update Pictown V2.0, coming soon.

[picto]

Hi guys,:tiphat:

Pictown is back.

Now it is animated thanks to Dan's work on the incoming Prelude III
A lot of new very cool features have been added and the mesh
has been improved for a better integration to earth.

A lot of things are now animated like AI traffic, trains, smokes, lights, but
you can also command some other like hangar's doors. There will be also
some new stunning cars as firework truck (With VC), police, new Mmu etc. etc.

A series of screenshots worth more than a hundred words.
It is almost finished but it needs a good doc, some good
scenarios and some adjustements.

Stay tuned.

Very beautiful Picto!

 

[PennyBlack]

Looking good Picto... Orbiter just gets better for us.

Can't wait to tailgate some of that AI traffic. :lol:

:tiphat:

 

[Pablo49]

I ain't afraid of no

[JMW]

You're a genius picto!

 

[picto]

Working hard.
Fast-toche is working on the oshkosh at this time.
Mapping and texturing.

Picto: excellent work. I downloaded Pictown and I liked it, I look forward to the new version that you develop.
Greetings and congratulations:tiphat:.

:woohoo:
Carl Sagan approves this.

 

[picto]

Thanks Matias.

I'm very happy to know you liked the first version of Pictown.

I think this release will be better because benefiting the very
cool animation features from Prelude and the opportunities to
act on the set. It will be much more scenarisable and become
more pleasant to prepare your trip to Orcus Patera or to rest
after a very long space trip.

I try to make Pictown pleasant at many level of details.

Here are two screens describing better what I want to mean.

Grand Theft Auto: Orbiter edition.

This looks really good, love the new vehicles!

 

[Donamy]

We'll need an atlas.

 

[garyw]

Good reason to launch GPS satellites and have a working GPS MFD? :lol:

 

[picto]

Atlas, GPS

:lol:

But really thinking about making a list of streets and roads and name them.
For the V3.0

It will be very simple to add little houses in Pictown.
Could be fun for an Orbinaut to get his own home.
Fast-toche has got one at this time.

I want a dungeon! :lol:

:thumbup:

Then it will be possible to start a mission getting out of bed, taking a shower, having coffee and newspaper before driving a tricked out muscle car to the launch facility. :lol:

 

[Donamy]

Will the mail be on time ?

 

[picto]

Will the mail be on time ?

No mail service at this time.
Mayor faces sedition at Pictown.

I was thinking about the possibility to each orbinaut to build his own house wherever he wants in Pictown via UCGO Cargos.

But the problem is that each cargo is only 1,3m cube.
A wooden house ( for example ) may need at least 10 of them.
But there is a problem to release them.

Thinking about the default flat bed truck from UCGO.:idk:

Just launch it carrying 10 cargos.
Release them wherever you want, then unpack them all with a UMmu without moving them.

Done.

Then it will be possible to start a mission getting out of bed, taking a shower, having coffee and newspaper before driving a tricked out muscle car to the launch facility. :lol:

That was the idea we had with Dan a few years ago.
UCGO + ABFO ( advanced building for Orbiter - Now Pictown -or Orcus Patera + PRELUDE) = better immersion
Now it's almost done.

 

[picto]

Four models are available.

The packed cargo is only here for eye candy.
Specific to the default Ucgo flatbed truck.

Build one of them wherever you want.
Buy one now ! :lol:

 

[Donamy]

I think I'll rent first.

 

[astrosammy]

Wow, really sounds great.

It seems the image hosting site is down.
