I can’t believe you did it!!! That’s an enormous gift for me!!! Can’t wait to put my hands on the Pitts!!! Thank you mate! You did such a great job!!!
This is absolutely bonkers. Taking me back to early flight sims. I don’t know how you pulled this out of pico-8. Bravo!
this is wild, im always impressed by what you're able to cram into this adorable fantasy console, idk how this runs as well as it does considering everything thats being modeled. once again i'm beyond impressed ^w^
I feel quite lucky that I checked out the BBS for the first time in a long while, and it was at just the right moment to catch this!
Again! Awesome game Tom!!! Cropduster mission is awesome!!! I have one request: I finally got the Pitts and I would like you model the canopy of the plane, in the actual 3D model it’s not visibile from the sides. You could paint also side polygons in blue so it could be resemble the real canopy. And one other thing: in photo mode how you can traslate? Only rotational movement is present. Thank you!
This is so impressive, I honestly cant believe how much is in here.
@Truncana yeah, I forgot to document the photo mode controls earlier. Basically you need to use player 2 arrows to move. I've added some instructions to the page.
Also tweaked the Pitts model a little. It was mainly because I was trying to keep it as low poly as possible. But the do28 has twice the poly count, so a couple more on the Pitts couldn't hurt.
@Mot great to hear about Pitts more polys to come!!! And I have a request about photo mode, could you implement an only single player control movement? I play on mobile browser and do not use second controller. Thank you!!!
