Where the hell did you get that screenshot from! I really hope we will get some animated crew members entering the boat via the gangway and have them remain topside till we leave port.

Something else to keep in mind with software development is you have a limited budget and schedule. You have to be very disciplined about project scope. You have to have it chisled in stone early on exactly what your finished product will be. Anything out of scope, no matter how cool it may be, has to stay out or you kill your budget/schedule. That's part of what killed Duke Nukem Forever.
As you progress, you may find that some things take longer/more expensive or, very rarely, quicker and cheaper, so you may have to scale back on things you'd hoped to originally include. It sounds like SH5 had some of these things happen. Originally the scope was broader. It all comes down to prioritizing what you can include with a given budget and schedule. There's simply just not enough time and money to do all the things you want. You have to compromise. People put their hearts and souls into it. They want to release a product they can be proud of. The same thing goes for bugs. You try like hell to make a bug free product, but the software is so complex it is literally impossible to test every scenario/hardware configuration. And the testing is under the same budget and time constraints. You do the best with the resources you have. |

It is located on SUBSIM resources, but not published by Neal yet. Unfortunately, I found only this one..

I saw that screenshot in some other thread. Don't remember which one. Neal is dropping Easter Eggs all over the place.

I'm very happy that it seems that we can turn off 'Highlight objects'

Does that actually turn them off? I figured it activated the highlight for everything in the scene that's clickable. |

14 fps! Gosh! I don't know in which computer Neal is testing it, but I hope, not too modern... |

I guess the old "Time to course end" and "Range and current speed" functions are history, unless they just don't have keyboard mappings?

Nice to see a positive thread about the game. I know I'm one of the leading critics regarding the DRM issue, but, beyond that issue, I want the very best for this game, and some of the things featured here are really nice, Dan.

Ever check out a Logitech G15 keyboard or something similar? Backlighting is your friend!
