Thanks.

The other FinalGear movies are by others, by the way.

Let me have any comments or such, as I may be doing another soon.

It isn't much of an effect&transition fest as i tend to prefer movies that underdo the effects in favour of action than those that overdo the effects but end up with no action worth watching (that recently acclaimed 'DRC2006' movie, for example), though I'm sure some prefer that.

SMS'ing from LFSworld and within LFS? Of all the useless gimmicks in games, that's a particularly useless one.

Good to hear some news of actual development, though.

Could you add THIS suggestion please. Pretty big exploit and no reason why a fix can't be implimented with no pain. I just came to moan about that before i saw someone else mentioned it.

I think it's a great idea and wouldn't need to be overly complicated. Someone mentioned 'extra resources to get live weather information'. What resources? Wind speed is 2 figures. A weather chart can be captured in a 256x256 texture and read by the engine. That's all the data that needs to be passed from weather site to server to client regarding the weather conditions.

Of course, getting weather conditions at all (non dynamic) implimented very well should be the first concern, and this a neat after thought.

I've always thought the realtime day/night cycles should be implimentable, though.

Agreed; it's out of place and tacky.
