As some of you may have been aware, I have in production a wide area Texas terrain pack for the past week or so. Progress had been rapid and the basic infrastructure of major and minor airports, "Sky Ranches" (tiny private fields) and maybe a landspeeder superhighway or two might be ready this weekend.
To boost Texan pride and awareness (sorry couldn't resist) we're going to put up a multiplayer session this weekend to test out the terrain. There will be no start locations in Texas but authentic redneck-style A/STC (aerospace traffic control) will be provided to give you a virtual tour of the Houston, TX theatre of operations. OMP radio chatter is totally hilarious but also contains (somehow) real flight directing stuff.
The terrain is designed to maximise framerate and has a relatively tiny install size. You will get about a dozen base locations if I manage to position the runways fast enough, making for a somewhat entertaining environment with which to operate light aerospace and contragravity craft. (It's named Texas 2060 for a reason :3)
If you wish to join us for the virtual Texas Air National Guard exercise this weekend, contact me for addon requirements and technical briefing, or simply log on to Orbiter Multiplayer this weekend.
We will be simulating a capital ship sortie from the Moon, in response to a communications blackout over Earth caused by terrorist E-bomb action. Military airship USS Saratoga will operate in contragravity over Houston while deploying various support craft to secure and restore key infrastructure systems.
Click here for the Texas 2060 development album and here for the Orbiter Multiplayer project site (which contains installation directions etc).
The target completion state for Saturday is 7 airport runways and 4 STOVL bases.
