any updates on this?

Just that exercising patience is probably the best option. When it is done, the author will release his baby.

Patience has the nasty habit of running out at the exact moment you need it most.

Like money ...

[Itsdavyjones]

Especially money.

[TelluriumCrystal]

Especially money.

Don't forget time.

[electronicfox]

No major updates yet, but they will be slowed a bit till the release of 0.20,

[brobel]

do you have any new pictures that you could show us

[electronicfox]

Not at the moment Im afraid. I'll post new ones as soon as there is something new to show (Im show-offy like that).

Then it wasn't patience in the first place That sounds a little bit like the tolerance a lot of people claim, except for the time when there is actually something to tolerate, haha!

[brobel]

so by the first release there will be 4 tracks for us to mess with

[akh101]

.20 is out now!

[electronicfox]

.20 is out now!

Yes, I noticed this. I've already mentioned I will update you guys n girls when there is something to show, right now EndlessWaves is still working out some kinks in the plugin, and I am still building up the track models (albeit slowly this week).

[EndlessWaves]

Yeah, 0.20 didn't break anything so it's just a case of working towards release rather than having to redo stuff.

[electronicfox]

Nothing majorly new here, but confirmation that 0.20 didnt break anything, and messing with some seats.

Jeb, Bill and Bob enjoying their new cruiser...

Note the normals issue on one of the tracks, for the life of me I cant figure out why that is happening. Face normals are all fine and there is no form of odd scaling issues, if anyone has any idea feel free to point it out.

The trio wanted extra speed, so they made the track'dster.

And tried flying it a bit...

And died in a horrific crash...

Did you invert the Y channel on your normal map? For whatever reason Unity/KSPshaders have it backwards.

Also: Neat halftrack!

Both track sets use the same UV space and texture maps, so if the channels were wrong in the normal map Id assume the issue would apply to both tracks.

[DYJ]

The Y channel is in the normal itself and doesn't have any effect on anything outside the normalmap. It's hard to judge if it's wrong on both tracks, but if you didn't invert it my bet is on that.

[electronicfox]

Ooh I'll check that out today then, thanks

[DYJ]

Worth mentioning is that it's called Greenchannel in some software, here are some threads on the subject:

[brobel]

what is the next pair going to look like

[electronicfox]

I have now fixed the odd normals issue in the larger track set, and here is a preview of the smallest set for you lovely patient folk.

[Tex_NL]

Question: How are these going to be powered, electric, fuel/oxidizer or fuel/intake air?

[Galacticruler]

reminds me of the tracks on Spore.

but better, because its not from Spore.

This makes me feel like making Wall-E in KSP as a probe, and launching him to...EVE!

The first sets are powered electrically, although I have considered some more powerful sets using fuel.
