Missing Music Track

[Zarel]

Drive mode is available in cheat mode; I believe the keycombo is Shift+D.

What version does this work for? It's not working for me in cheat mode (and yes I do know how to use cheat mode )

Obviously, you are not doing it right. Maybe you misspelled 'D'. Or maybe you are not in Tracking Mode.

Tracking mode?

Yes, I spelled "d" with an "e"

[Zarel]

I forgot; you have to press Space first.

It should tell the user to do this.

It does. What the user does with that information is undefined, however and dependent on the specific implementation.

Nice.
Maybe it could be somehow exposed a bit?

We'll do that when it's done.

We'll do that when it's done.

Maybe at least it could be used without entering cheat mode?
Or how it could be considered as cheating?

Because:

1. It causes sync problems in multiplayer.
2. It lets you stop VTOLs in midair.
3. It isn't done - i.e. it could have flaws that could cause unexpected behavior or crashing. Intentionally doing something that could crash the game is definitely considered cheating.
4. It hasn't been balance-tested.

Once we fix those, we'll definitely allow it in non-cheat mode. #2's pretty easy to fix, too - I'll get around to it once someone fixes #1.

(Those, or variations thereof, are the reason we reserve most our experimental features for cheat mode.)

OK, thanks, now it's clear.

As a FYI, I just (re)implemented it as a quick hack, and never got back to finishing it.

Hmm, it should fit better with some commander improvements that were suggested some time ago - features that would provide paupable advantages that would make it worthy commanding a strike force personally, taking place as a commander unit.

Anyway, I think there's too much to do already for the next versions, or am I wrong?
I could help develop the idea if I had the free time to do so and the devs had time to work on it

But my time is short - at least in the following week. I have to plan my hours carefully or I'll have bad surprises in my college scores in the first quarter

Anyway, driving mode is working for me, with a few bugs obviously - there is no way to choose targets, and normal vtols refuse to shoot when controlled directly, for instance.

Please, some one of devs add that missing track to 2.3 release. It already fine quality for now. It not so hard to add it to 2.3 branch. tnx
