OK - let the teasing begin :)

[Admin]

Time for more Monty Python teasing to ADMIN and the Developers, IT would be nice!-the features pack that is.

IT is still being tested and we may want to squeeze in a few more features. We'll see

So your not scared anymore of the word IT any more?

I'll go galloping around the street with my brother clapping coconuts together! (Yes, I have coconuts for this purpose-I made them myself! )

Ni!

MON 2? not something I'd be excited about.
ISS interior? That'd be sweet...

Funny, for me it's the other way around. Mon2 would definitely be a really really great enhancement of gameplay.

I agree. Mon2 adds funtionality, it could definitely help with RMS operations and maybe rendevous.
The ISS's inside would mostly be eyecandy, and it wouldn't really add a shuttle gameplay aspect. If one really wants to see it, there's lots of photos taken over the years and put on the web. ISS inside would be nice though.

The ISS entry would be the best of eye candy and I would eat it up! I would play make believe and stay in orbit for days!

Ok, after reading and crossing out things before Admin pointed out that they were not within reasonable terms...

Working switches within 3D Virtual Cockpit
Better shuttle textures
Old shuttle avionics for older missions
Active Mid deck
Chase planes
MON2
External Tank inspection
Follow SRB until splashdown
Follow ET until disintegration
Enhanced MCC
LCC
Rollout
Multi-joystick setup
OBSS Inspection
VSync

However, he did mention some of us have mentioned the feature. Out of the above list, the features mentioned at least more than once are...

MON2
Follow SRB until splashdown

It could be any of those two, maybe...

[Richard R]

Im thinking MON 2 plus the 129 mission pack.

[neosonic2k]

Oh, by the way, remember, this is a feature pack being announced, not a mission pack. there will be no missions whatsoever, no mir, no sts-129, no nothing, just features only. that's why i didn't even mention the missions people mentioned in the list. quick heads-up on that.

[Richard R]

That's right features only Sorry....

[neosonic2k]

When they do make a mission pack, hopefully STS-130 is on it. Tranquility, you know. ...reminds me of someone naming his pet fish Cupola around here.

lol... cupola.

Any estimate on this feature pack's launch date?

[Richard R]

Yea STS 129 and 130 would be great missions for the next mission pack.

Working switches within 3D Virtual Cockpit : imo that's not a "reasonable" change
Better shuttle textures : nobody mentionned it yet
Old shuttle avionics for older missions : imo that's not a "reasonable" change
Active Mid deck : imo that's not a "reasonable" change
Chase planes : imo far from being in their top priorities, but could be wrong
MON2
External Tank inspection
Follow SRB until splashdown
Follow ET until disintegration
Enhanced MCC : planned for 2010 version
LCC
Rollout :  imo far from being in their top priorities, but could be wrong
Multi-joystick setup : imo that's not a "reasonable" change
OBSS Inspection
VSync

However, he did mention some of us have mentioned the feature. Out of the above list, the features mentioned at least more than once are...

MON2
Follow SRB until splashdown

[lelleck]

I really fail to understand why "follow SRB until spashdown" is so high on ppl´s wishlist??

- It has zero bearing on a shuttlemission, but would be handy on a "NASA-TV simulator" ...

But hey, every addon to this gem is worth it!!

All the best to You

Agreed.  The goal is going into orbit.  Not into the ocean.
