About 90% of the time this sort of error is related to one of three sound errors.
1) You didn't install OpenAL (Windows users check the folder for a RunMeFirst file. Everyone else check www.OpenAL.org ). If you didn't run this before runing the game, run it now and see if that cures the problem.
2) Your OpenAL install is corrupt (Windows users check Windows\System32 for either ct_oal.dll or nvopenal.dll. These are the OpenAL 1.0 .dlls and they are causing the screwup. Delete them and run the OpenAL installer (RunMeFirst) again. )
3) You (windows users only) selected something other than GenericSoftware from the Launcher's Audio tab. Switch it back.
That's the problem I have with it: it's FS2 with nBSG models. They didn't just "use the engine", they simply created a (admittedly well-done) visual mod over the existing game.2, the fucking HUD control setting screen. Both are left overs from FS2.
Possible, not even that complex with new scripting rules, just...probably not that good looking.The Galactica launch sequence?
No idea what is a DRADIS display, but I know the radar display is configureable, not sure to what amount.The integration of a DRADIS display that isn't just the FS2 radar?
Gliding. That was enough for me, then again, I know nothing about BSG outside of SDN.Where is anything that elevates this beyond FS2-with-Vipers?
That's a bit of a non-point in a total conversion, surely? Half the combat views in the series are cockpit images.RE cockpits wrote:Possible to create in the engine, but would require alot of artist work.
Please, I've seen a Galactica landing sequence with the BC engine and even that looked...well, good enough. And it'd help immensely to bring the player into the universe.RE landing wrote:Possible, not even that complex with new scripting rules, just...probably not that good looking.
This is a DRADIS screen. All they had to do was move the radar to the bottom of the screen, make it bigger, tweak the art and add the animation and voilà, you'd have a far better experience. I know it's more work, but it would do a lot to make this look like an nBSG game.RE radar wrote:No idea what is a DRADIS display, but I know the radar display is configureable, not sure to what amount.
I admit that is a good addition, but still...Gliding.
Let's see where they go next then.For reference: The engine is currently choke full of features that people are still practicing with, theres full scripting support, etc. that are currently not being fully utilised.

As I said, technically feasible, I have no idea however if they are working on this or not.Please, I've seen a Galactica landing sequence with the BC engine and even that looked...well, good enough.

Artist work, something the entire HLP community lacks.This is a DRADIS screen.

If you actually read their forums, ALL of that stuff will be implemented in the first full release, which is using a newer engine as well. The "Demo" seems to just have been released to prove it's not vapourware.I mean, where are the modelled cockpits? The Galactica launch sequence? The integration of a DRADIS display that isn't just the FS2 radar? Where is anything that elevates this beyond FS2-with-Vipers?
Well there's the gliding feature as well as the thrusters controlled with the arrow keys so you can side slip and vary your manuevers beyond the traditional atmospheric flight model.. and damn that last cylon raider was using it to good effect, slipping all over the place to keep his forward aspect on me for a missile lock.Bounty wrote: I mean, where are the modelled cockpits?

just get a joystick alreadyBrain_Caster wrote:I really like how they tweaked the combat, with extremely high speeds, gliding and the rapidly firing guns. But i'm having the same problem I always had in FS2: The mouse sensitivity is just too low. I set it to it's maximal value, but I still can't make a full turn without moving my mouse over the pad's corner. Is there any way to raise sensitivity more than what can be done in the options menu?
I actually prefer a mouse. At the high speeds in BtRL, accuracy is important, and a mouse is much better for that.Sephirius wrote:just get a joystick alreadyBrain_Caster wrote:I really like how they tweaked the combat, with extremely high speeds, gliding and the rapidly firing guns.
