Fire Flight, the new game by Ilan Papini, is out now! (A Steam version is being considered, too)

It's been a while since the last bit of news here on the Steam page of Vehicle Simulator, and there's a good reason for it: A new game, called Fire Flight, is the latest creation of Ilan Papini, the maker of Virtual Sailor, Micro Flight and, of course, Vehicle Simulator.

To give you a little introduction to what it's all about, here's a trailer for it that I made a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMc5Mhg6iEE

"Running on a new and improved engine, this game lets you take control of firetrucks, jeeps, light and heavy-duty firefighting aircraft as you go on missions with one singular goal: Put out the fire!

The game comes with a career mode, where you work your way through increasingly challenging missions while your performance is scored.
Additionally, included in the game is a built-in mission editor, a powerful tool that lets you create and design your own missions: Choose the scenery, place the fires, add AI vehicles and create your own scripts for them to follow!"

As for a potential Steam version, we'd like to hear from you guys: Would you be interested in Fire Flight?
While the game is out now on the hangsim website, there are additional features, mainly multiplayer, that may be implemented into a potential Steam version, if there's enough of a demand for it.

Let us know what you think about the new game, and we hope you like it.

Version 2.6.5 Ex released

Changes for version 2.6.5 Ex

Vehicle Simulator version 2.6.4 Ex Released on Steam

Changes for version 2.6.4

About version 2.6.4 Ex


This versions is essentially the same as latest version 2.6.4, however under the hood it uses new libraries for networking and X files loading andanimation.

The program is 99% compatible with older vehicles and animations, butin rare cases some files may not load, this is normal, and does not indicatebugs in the program but merely a change in X file format made by Microsoft inrecent D3DX library.

Networking was completely changed, it is working much faster now than itworked before, however, the UDP protocol required a change of architecture frompeer to peer, to client server, as a result the host cannot migrate as before,when the host machine leaves the session, the session is terminated.

Networking mode in the Ex version connects only with other Ex versions, do not connect with ordinary versions, it will not work.

To host a networking session, the host machine should define itself as DMZ-Host in the router on which it is connected.

Experimental features:


2.6.3 update released, offline mode now working

Hello folks!
As background development continues into Vehicle Simulator and related things, here's patch 2.6.3, previously released on the game's website for testing, now stable enough for a wide steam release.

Also, you can now play the game while Steam's in offline mode, for all your offline gaming needs.


Changes for version 2.6.3

One less missing thing...

Remember the trailer for the game?

Remember the Super Cobra helicopter featured in it?
Yeah, turns out there wasn't a readily available download of it on the internet, so we've added it to the free Essential Helicopters DLC, so if you've already installed it, you'll see it as a small update.
Enjoy!

Steam Workshop support is here!

Hey everyone, you wanted it? You got it!
Steam Workshop support is now available for Vehicle Simulator, so from here on out, any new mod or add-on you guys make will now be even easier to install!

Note: You need to read the instructions for Workshop support for this game, it's not as straightforward like in other games.

2.6.2 update released

Hi guys, we're working on getting Workshop support in the game as the first big Steam related feature, so until then, here's a new small patch for the game.


Changes for version 2.6.2

Bug Fixes and new features:

Waypoints updated for all players in netplay mode.

Added netplay entry from main screen.
(You can now start an online game straight from the main menu, thus allowing you to customize the initial experience before starting to play.)

Better calculation and display of collision point in marine radar.

Maximum number of edited objects increased in scenery editor.

High quality map of South West Europe is here!

Well, the first 24 hours since release have been amazing, and to celebrate them, we've added yet another piece of free DLC, in the form of what is easily the most expansive and well made scenery map, South West Europe, by Javier Fernandez.

I've featured this scenery in the game trailer extensively, and now you guys can enjoy it too with a click of a button!

..As opposted to a few more clicks if you already downloaded it from the hangsim website.

Take note, this particular download of SWE is ever so slightly modified for additional compatibility when it comes to the basic files, so if you delete it for any reason later on, you won't have any issues.

Enjoy!
