[Tertiusdecimus]

Before reading the description I thought of asking you if you put Freelancer on the Nexus engine =D

Awesome work, man.

[mulalicanes]

Can this be used online on a server?

[ThinBear4]

The curious thing is, how did you maneuver the ship in turret view?

[Trueflights]

@ThinBear4 he didn't the "camera" is a second ship.

[Trueflights]

@Trueflights or not , watching it again, I guess it isn't. sorry.

[ThinBear4]

@Trueflights Nope. Look closely. It's definitely turret view of this capital ship. The camera is focused on the capship at all times and it perfectly responds to cursor movement, sometimes taking quick turns and sudden accelerations (whereas in camera-ship solution the "camera" would be operated by ship's movement controls, for example WSAD).

So it's camera view. And it's curious how he controls the camera and ship's rotation at the same time.

[VishnuCF]

@ThinBear4 Assign turn left, turn right, pitch up and pitch down to the 4,5,6 and 8 keys on the number pad. Then after that enter turret view and press the space bar button. Try to keep the mouse focused on one point while controlling the ship with 4,5,6 and 8.

This is possible in the Crossfire mod

[marcusantonio91]

awesome; you've made the ship respond to real life physics

[arhont47]

man that is fucking sexy..i love the engine design in nexus and i love freelancer...combining the two = nerdgasm

[boundtodie]

why would u want it to turn heavy ur in space u can change directiion when ever u want the physics are different in space compared to were ur on a planet with gravity

[Geroskop]

@boundtodie yes they ARE! you dont have air to slow you down so you have bigger direction change time you morron! it is basic newton physycks of 8-9 grade!

[Ninebreaker92]

How do I get one!? =D

[Doomfrost]

I bought N:TJI recently and it's just amazing. I'd love to see a N:TJI mod for Freelancer.

[JacobMormon]

I loved Freelancer. How do I join on to servers like the ones in your videos?

[LightningFireFilms]

@JacobMormon there's a global walkaround patch to enable the servers again. just google it. oh, and this guy made the 88 Flak mod, and Itanto Circus. Pretty crazy huh?

[sona11111111]

how do you make the engine FX completely turn off? i have been posting about how to do that for years and no one seemed to know.

[Why485]

@sona11111111

That's done entirely in the ALE effect. I completely rewrote the Bretonian Battleship engine ALE for this project.

[Solcommand]

That's cool man ! I'm fan of Nexus too :)

[degu122]

all your vids rule :)

[Deathmatch1993]

I want have this mod! :O could you send me this one?

[Mazryonh]

Some nice work here. Plenty of mods are being made for Nexus: TJI on moddb, from Freespace 2 to Stargate: SG1 to Babylon 5 to Star Trek to Battlestar Galactica. You might want to look into some of those.

[MagicAccent]

Heh, the jupiter incident, I remember that game. Never did get into it much.

Still, this looks interesting.

[Pastaspace]

Interesting enough. But... realism in Freelancer? Why would you do that.

[Doomerider]

Can someone link me to the NExus download?

[thedarkarcon4]

Awesome!

[seizenet]

Fantastic job!

[zakiNBG]

turretviewsteering YAY :D

[SeaFalcon93]

If people are able to make Nexus mod for Freelancer I'll be hooked ;)

Nexus is IMO the best space sim ever made.

And this sure looks like it and thats why it's sooooh awesome!

[PmanCheeser]

Freelancer Lives!

[azile0]

Do I hear Freespace sounds? Great work.

[GeneralCalvin]

That is amazing. :D

[St4rBl4st3r]

That's how some of the ships on the Underverse feel, heavy when turning, just like trying t turn an old Panzer Tank. Great work as always Why. :)

[grandadmiral0thrawn]

looks nice, would be a pain in the ass though :P
