Hello there! Thank you all who have tried Tinker Pilot during these first couple of weeks since release. The most common feedback has been clear: more content! I hear you, and more content is on the way. My plan is to keep the open environment nature of the game and make it grow over time with more locations, operations, ships and systems.
For now, I've removed all the unlock objectives so that all operations and levels are accessible from the start. Any feedback on the current operations and levels (what's more fun, what feels too easy or too difficult, etc.) would be greatly appreciated and will help me prioritize what to work on next.
This update also includes another heavily requested feature: telemetry. Specifically for motion simulators, you can now add a preconfigured element in your cockpit that will send basic motion telemetry data through UDP.
And of course, following the philosophy of the game, you can set up any number of fully customizable UDP streams for whatever purpose you like, right from the cockpit editor.
Added 'Telemetry Output (UDP)' element behaviour. This behaviour can be added to any element and fully customized from the cockpit editor (IP, port, rate and data fields).
Added predefined 'Motion Simulator Telemetry (UDP)' element with basic motion simulator data fields preconfigured (pitch/roll/yaw speeds, surge/heave/sway accelerations).
Removed unlock objectives from Hostile Takedown operations (Salmagondi).
Removed unlock objectives from Hazardous Waste Elimination operations (Piros One).
Changed Salmagondi support drone comms flow to require level selection before each round.
Changed default level selection in Hazardous Waste Elimination to highest level completed.
Renamed 'Left/Right-Hand Controls' parent element to 'Left/Right-Hand Controls Group' in predefined cockpits.
Renamed 'Numeric/Boolean Output Command' element behaviour to 'Numeric/Boolean Output Command (Serial)'.
Fixed behaviours list indentation in the Element Edition Panel.
Fixed typo in mission landing pads messages.
Added central services and welcome messages to Piros One and Assault Base locations.
Removed unlock objectives from Recovery Mission.
Fixed ranking view when scope is set to 'self'.
Other minor changes.
