Hi everyone I have been working on this for a little while and now its time for some testing. Called Space Exploration for now, you will be able to travel around the solar system (not all planets are included). I am testing several systems with this project one is space ship control. This ship uses Jestermons Local To Parent for ship control. I have made some changes to it for example Jess space project LTP moves the skin mesh and didn't allow the use of a rigid body. So I set the rigid body as the parent and the force as the child and this worked the fantastic. Next was the text to voice which you can hear reporting on ship conditions. None of the visuals are complete, if I complete this project the look and playability will have changed a lot. The download link below is a zip file just unload it into a folder some where on your hard drive and run it. It is from my own website so there shouldn't be any problems downloading it. Now its your turn to have a play I am waiting for comments. n_iron DownLoad SpaceExplorationV21Added: I am going on a short trip Friday so if there is no answer for some time I will get back soon.

well... i've blown up several ships so far... first one i think i ran into the sun at warp speed the graphics are pretty spectacular... luv the computer voice interaction... no problems loading and ran smoothly, just not sure what i'm supposed to do... funny... i've just recently been working on reviving an old space project in 3DRAD as well... something closer to a first person experience rather than a grand exploration thing... looking forward to seeing more... --Mike

Hi Mike thanks for your report.
The tunnel is a time tunnel and you mustn't touch the sides. When you get to the end it will disappear but you must get away from the sun as soon as possible so the ship can cool but don't remove the shield until it is cool. Temperature readout is in the panel on the Right.
To leave the to the next level you must travel back through the time tunnel. (Next level not implemented yet) To fined the tunnel you press T key and this shows 2 cross near the sun where you enter. You line up the crosses and when you pass through the red cross you will open the time tunnel and then you go through to the end to the next Star. That will work when I implement the next level.
I didn't want to tell anyone what to do to see if it can be worked out so I think I will have to have some description for the beginning of the game.
My only concern is sometimes I have to press the keys more than once to get a response not sure whats causing this to happen.
