I got back to playing #FlightOfNova lately, because it's dark and calm and meticulous. A great game to play in the winter. Dawdling around in the settings I noticed it had #headtracking support for looking around the cockpit. I quickly considered getting one of those silly devices, before I remembered that #Opentrack supports any old webcam. *sounds of rummaging around* So that works great. Just use "neuralnet tracker" as input in Opentrack.

I totally love this. So in Flight Of Nova some players noticed that some stars in the distance looked not like stars and started venturing out and after a 10h realtime flight they managed to crash on another planetary 😄

This is the next attempt holding enough reaction mass back to survive re-entry and do a proper landing too.

I love this level of nerdism. And I so hope they get to name that bugger 😄

Wow. The peeps at #FlightOfNova “found” a planet and reached it live on Twitch after a ~10h flight: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2294019904

Insane 🤓 😍

I so hope that the player “Heuristik” gets to name that bugger 🤣

After several misfires (#PacificDrive, #VRising, #Titanfall2) I finally found a game to get me off #DaysGone for a while. It's a space trucking sim with realistic gravitation and orbital physics named #FlightOfNova. I love its mixed pacing of hectic ship management during start/orbital station docking/planetfall and the zen-like stages of orbiting the planet and taking in the scenery. It's got a demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1069190/Flight_Of_Nova/

@innkeeper @the_gamer_tavern Finally this week-end in #gaming , I did play #ATS and finished the #CruisingArkansas event. Also did two deliveries on Grand Utopia.

But I also restarted #FlightOfNova , I really need to spend more time with this game!

Getting better in #FlightOfNova 💪 Delivery mission without breaking… much 🤡

Man… I need telemetry data for this game. That’d be so freakin awesome 🤓

Updated https://simpit.dev/ - home of the Space Pew Pew #SimPit inspired by a VF-1 Valkyrie cockpit (#Macross)

That's a glorified #DIY joystick controller with an LCD ('MFD') and plenty of RGB for my #Linux PC

Newest additions are my videos for #X4Foundations, #EliteDangerous and #FlightOfNova (all also on https://makertube.net/a/bekopharm) and instructions how to compile #OpenTrack with the #neuralnet tracker using #ONNX runtime.

Best viewed WITH an ad-blocker and patience (slow).

#HomeCockpit

I had the chance to play Flight Of Nova (https://flight-of-nova.com/) for the first time today. This was on my wishlist for quite some time now. Dived in blind and had no idea what to expect. 3 tutorial missions later: Oh boy… this is hard. I can see myself sinking many hours in this.

Anyway, as usual, my focus is on interfacing with my home cockpit (or simpit) and while there is no ship telemetry [yet?] I was able to get it running just fine via Proton and with my DIY headtracker using OpenTrack. Hats off, seldom that I see a game that detects my joystick just fine, has great ingame calibration, offers me a windowed mode and a bunch of ultra width resolutions without having to resort to hacking config files or use gamescope to resize it ❤️

Head tracking is, as usually, TrackIR only so far (I guess the native Linux PC version does not have UDP in place here but I couldn’t check due Steam refusing to download another version today). Anyway, you can see me fooling around with the buttons and do an A+ crash landing in the end – sunny side up 😆 Not too shabby considering that this was my 3rd landing at all.

After playing #FlightOfNova a bit, with its realistic aerodynamics and orbital physics implementation, I no longer believe I am capable of one day becoming a space pirate.

Does anybody have any experience with like getting something like Joystick Gremlin or vjoy to be even somewhat useful on a Linux install through wine? Would that even be possible?

I'm not super versed in how joysticks work in Linux nor in wine and my current Linux install doesn't allow me to run wine properly at the moment so I can't try stuff out right now. But in the future I would love to be able to run Star Citizen or Flight of Nova on Linux with the customization that Joystick Gremlin allows, and unfortunately there does not appear to be any other application that offers the same level of convenience or features that Joystick Gremlin does that is Linux native.

Honestly I suspect that I'm just going to just have to keep dual booting Windows for this or use a Windows VM, which pains me because Star Citizen supposedly works well under wine in Linux and Flight of Nova has a native Linux build.

Any thoughts?

Sometimes, I just need to space out for a bit.

Any #space #pilot here?
It looks like #2023 will be great for #spacegames

My personal favourites are:
- #Starfield
- #SystemShock (remake)
- #EverSpace2 - perfect for Steam Deck, already very playable (early access)
And just a fresh one (not in video):
- #FlightofNova

game: ... basically, this is how you handle orbital maneuvers

me: keep orange circle bigger than blue circle. got it!

Flight of Nova is an early access #Steam game with "realistic" flight mechanics, both inside and outside the atmosphere. Here's a nice clip of my wing getting clipped during a collision:
