Even though the newly revealed Magic Leap Lightwear falls short of their hyped specs in terms of FoV and is basically a smaller form factor Hololens, they have at least revealed a real product that somewhat resembles their intended goals unlike Tharanos.

Weirdly the view out of a P40 is actually really good. Some yahoo put all the gauges and instruments on the dash below the windscreen instead of hanging them right in front of the pilot's face for some drat reason, and the end result is being able to see what's in front of the aircraft.

I don't believe the citizen has flown a Mig-21.

1960, near the Russian border:

So there I was, standing in a raggedy airport with Evil_Merlin. We were part of a new flight crew for these new fangled jet airplanes the premier wanted. It was going to help us not have further uprisings like Hungary again. Those boleshevic bastards.

“Who’s going to fly this new uh.. MiG-22 thing?” I asked.

Evil_Merlin was all over it, “It’s a MiG-21, dumb person.” He never said uses sexist terms in the 60’s because he was a great guy who flew lots of planes. He went on to spout of airplane and airport stuff like jet fuel types and airport security to Hawaii.

“So what do you think about the visibility in the cockpit?” I asked.

“Well it’s not great, but I’ve got faith that as time goes on visibility will get better.” He replied happily.

“So you think in the future if we ever get to space as well visibility will be good?”

“Yes,” he said then rubbed his stubble, “but only if the space crafts are expensive.”

“They’d all be expensive!” I say with a happy Russia smile as I sip some vodka. It’s what I always do before flying with my good buddy.

Evil_Merlin nodded. “Yes. Space ships will all be great, and I will fly those as well because I’m used to flying all the planes everywhere. I have all the information on space and ground vehicles and air planes. Especially stuff with rockets.”

I nodded. “I see. Well, let’s go fly this MaG-26 and add it to your growing repertoire!”

The argument on its face is nonsensical because there's no reason to replicate the flaws of what should be the ancient past. You can do whatever you want! It's a work of fiction. Unless there's a compelling gameplay reason to mess with a players vision, then don't do it! You're already inventing technologies that are physically impossible, but jamming a plank in the player's eye is the hill you're willing to die on. Whether you've flown a Mig21 is irrelevant; is it a space ship? Does it go interstellar distances in mere minutes? No? Then gently caress off with the comparison! It's akin to saying that it's impossible to have modern cruise ships because the Athenian trireme packed their crew of fifty into a tight space so of course there's no way to squeeze in all the berths for vacationers.

This, so hard. loving Chris Roberts, Space Mops and Space MiGs for everyone. Why should technology advance over hundreds of years? Sure, we have magical Gravity Goo but we can't figure out how to have a decent cockpit on our space pew pew planes.

I mean I guess it's a DETAILED SIM :spergin: thing, the whole space sim (or any sim) thing is alien to most gamers so idk beyond that. Crberts always promised a space sim rather than game iirc, even when 90% of his promises for SC are incompatible with that.

Ofc given that FTL space flight doesn't exist yet and X-wing dogfighting is bullshit, the only thing being simulated is joyless arbitrary faff and a cockpit with a decent view would be exactly as true to reality.

It’s beyond doubt at this point. There are no other positive indicators of demand, growth, or engagement anywhere, anywhere — the much-hyped 3.0 release is effectively unplayable at launch and Chris Roberts says expect improvements on the networking side maybe in a few months which when adjusted for his time dilation issue may mean end of 2018 or later.

2017 saw the most significant erosion in public and media opinion of the project on record. It was the year it became safe to speak of Development Hell outside of the skeptic zones and the blame for that is at Chris Roberts feet — the 3.0 one year delay after downsizing was the biggest project sell signal to date and its had plenty.

The year ends with an honest-to-God highly damning lawsuit against CIG with notoriously tough lawyers on the other side of the table and more lawsuits set to break. The Crytek lawsuit surely mobilized Coutts to take their own defensive / investigative actions.

The tracker is telling us we are supposed to believe that the 1+ year late gameplay free Squadron 42 vertical slice + land (protection racket) sales and now tank sales are all supposed to account for a huge Q4 upswell of confidence in the project when even these supposed positives are themselves telltale indicators of CIG’s desperation and dysfunction. It was predictable yet implausible in the extreme.

Revisit just how dramatically CIG closed the distance in Q4 so that they could end the year with a confidence-reinforcing narrative for their most critical audience - existing whales. We don’t need to know how exactly the funding tracker is inaccurate to know it’s not capturing what is visible all around. If the thermometer says 90 degrees yet the glass is frosted with ice and it’s halfway buried in snow, you don’t look at the snow and say “that’s so fake because it’s baking outside.”

The dishonest dealings of Chris Roberts are the heart of 3.0’s huge downsizing and delay disappointments, the Crytek lawsuit, the TOS revisions, the multiplicity of shell companies, and so much more, yet the implied veracity of the funding tracker depends entirely on the trustworthiness of a man whose untrustworthiness has set in motion the ruinations that surround the project. It tells us the tale of a miraculous year-end turnaround for a project clearly in terminal decay and there are far more reasons to distrust it than believe it.

Note the shift in marketing language - the assumption is that everyone seeing this has already bought a Star Citizen package of some sort and rather than make fresh sales they need to tap existing backers again.

I mean that's been implicit for ages, but I think this is the first explicit 'Buy this game for other people in your life' messaging.
