VRA Formation Transitions

Post by Ells » Fri Jun 08, 2007 2:41 am

Please note this is a work in progress with basic graphics for now, but will be jazzed up for the new web site coming soon.

http://www.bfdreamland.com/vra/vra.html

It currently shows a few formation transitions (one formation to another).

There will also be a little suprise for the VFAT 2007 show in the final version.

I like to show you, the community, work in progress so you can comment on it during development; things you would like to see, not see, stuff like that, so please be as brutal as you like.

Thanks

I like what you have so far. You may want to add a backward button or a repeat button to show the transition multiple times rather than having to cycle thru all formations to get to the beginning. Also you have a couple formation transitions where planes are touching wings, you may want to add an indicator of some type to show who goes high and who goes low during the transition to avoid collision.

Thanks for your comments Burner.
I'm already adding a menu so you can jump to a specific formation and play that transition.

I like the idea of the high/low and will build that in (like a little window to the side showing the height also at the same time as position).
