Yeah, I'm using a miter saw, pretty much all of the angles are 45°, that was an intentional part of the design.
-
Yeah, we'll see how it turns out. Another benefit is that it'll lead to simpler cuts on the 2x4s inside of the station.

So I've begun construction on the three additional stations, I'm producing them in an assembly line fashion, so I'm cutting out all of the parts first and then assembling them. https://bridgesim.net/uploads/116/NSUU643BG5OV.jpg I've also redesigned …

I wish I’d seen this thread, I have the original vector files, they’re always handy
-
Apparently the integrated graphics are using the latest drivers from Intel.
-
I haven't. I've been doing a lot of updates, but that hasn't been one of them. I'll do that now as I've got people coming over to help me test and I'd love to get their thoughts on Empty Epsilon.

https://pastebin.com/VBs9hcas Ok, here's the file I found.

I'll check those out.

Yep, fresh download from the site, installed on Windows 10 Pro. Nothing out of the ordinary, that's why it was so surprising to me. It even crashes when I run it as admin.

I managed to get this set up in my living room yesterday and did a brief test run with my kids after working through some network issues. Overall it performed admirably and both of the kids (3 and 6) loved the game. I managed to recover my Joy2Key b…

Some updated pics of the build. We added some pieces to the display mounting that reduces tilt of the displays by quite a bit, there's still some minor wobble when you press hard on the top of the screen, but I have plans for that. I suspect that if…

I updated the uniform designs with new pilot wings and new shoulder patches: https://bridgesim.net/uploads/966/1XBAOB7K4VZO.jpg https://bridgesim.net/uploads/918/YA386YOVD1OC.png https://bridgesim.net/uploads/185/U7XTU4O1G5U0.png

I'll be putting the final touches on the structure this Sunday and then we'll be testing it next Saturday, I'll make sure we take some pics of the stations working, at this point we'll probably play around with Artemis and Empty Epsilon. I plan to a…

Most of the other time is spend on cabling. Cabling actually takes a bulk of the time. I reduced this a lot, I have a cheap network switch and a power-"hub" installed behind every screen now. So I can just daisy-chain the console in any wa…

We managed to get the mounting hardware for the other display on last night as well as the mount platform for the throttle. Does anyone have any suggestions for finishing/painting? I'd like it to look as little like wood as possible.
-
Progress from last night. We got the center column/console built and we drilled the holes for the bolts to attach the big plank with the displays onto the center console and the supports on the ends. The center column fits 2 workstations inside, the…

Yeah, we're planning to buy a resin printer pretty soon and both my wife and I are pretty proficient 3D modelers, at one point we ordered a test print of some wings and rank pips through shapeways and just glued some pin backs to the 3D printed part…

@daid I did consider that (and may still do it after testing), it really depends on how stable these mounts are during actual gameplay, so far they seem fine, but who knows how they'll get treated in the heat of battle.

These particular touch screens are found occasionally on Ebay (used), they can go from anywhere between $90 and $250, and I believe they retail for around $600. I was lucky enough to get 5 of them for between $80-90 ea. The best part about them, bes…

Re: CSS/HTML; In my perspective, layout and visual style are basically the same thing or at least categorically similar enough, because content should mostly be layout-agnostic. Re: Borders and UI; I like what you're doing, very good! I definitely …
-
That code definitely reminds me of CSS, which I'm very familiar with. Since the main interface is usually touch screens, a more sci-fi design makes sense, though I could see why you like the more analog look :)
-
Yeah, I get distracted with other work and projects too, haha. But I keep an eye on development on the current EE, so I'm keen to follow and help v2 where I can as far as design and UI/UX go.
-
@daid Let me know when you're ready to consider interface design. I'd love to take a crack at v2!
-
So I asume it would be okay if I replace the background image with your original at some point? Go for it.
-
Looks pretty good! I'd love to see screenshots of the other stations
-
(Quote) I don't know any LUA (yet) but I'm intrigued.
-
(Quote) True, but the radar is offset, it's not on center like the other stations.
-
@Capt_Lapadite I LOVE the most recent version you posted! Additionally, the Relay and Science will probably need an alternate version, but that's not a total deal-breaker. I'd propose that we use the same "stripe" style except split it an…

(Quote) We're in the midst of an annoying battle with our host right now (and starting the move away from them). They've basically set up, what I suspect, is a scam with the "company" SiteLock. I won't go into detail, but it's been a delig…
