Great job as always vice, + hooray, round number for fuel storage

Yeah great and just in time! Thanks especially for IDS scale level control. I was just about programming that with bends in my x52 profile editor.

Vice,
An impressive job so far.
May I ask if it is possible to create more trees and bushes at the planet surface, or is that difficult?

Regards,

Eric

Looks like my request made it to the patch, thanks for that.

Yes, some very cool features added to this one.

Awesome thank you for everythings.

Mercenary is alive and better with every new version. Thanks, Vice.

A minor update is now available for download, it resolves a rare issue on systems where DirectX reported to the game that the desktop resolution was not available for use in 3D gaming, which would result in an error message displayed by the game. In the update, the game can detect this condition/limitation and work around it by attempting to enable other detected resolutions automatically.

This update isn't required, it's just available if anyone else encounters the issue when they try to launch the game. Same download link as above.

I really need to get back into this game. Thanks, Vice!

Please do! Ceti Alpha V mp server is currently building a decent-sized group of regulars - many of whom are new or returning. The more the merrier.
