UPDATE IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS! 🎅🐧🎥 From the Depths, Stable Update 4.2

[@food7479]

When I first played after the Update I wanted to cry due to the camera shenanigans. I would have really appreciated a "classic camera" mode in the settings.

[@sampletext5959]

This.

[@SEJ9]

FOR REAL I ALMOST THREW UP

[@lilcyolo]

I LITERALLY HAD A PANIC ATTACK BECAUSE I THOUGHT I MESSED UP MY SAVE DATA!

[@Tuna_the_shark]

if you immediately hate this update, just try it for a few hours, i also hated this update, but i played it for some time, now i kinda like it only bad thing i am going to say is when controlling vehicle i can't control the camera 8:29 nope, made my controls uhjk as they used to be

[@Ribbons0121R121]

Dzxc :)

[@hyrummamanakis8529]

18:50 Everyone after the camera update.

[@saltysola1476]

Even after playing for a few hours, it just feels less user friendly and more frustrating, though I do spend most my time playing in the designer. Maybe I'm too used to the old system, but I'd really like an option to just revert to the old system, as I can't stand the new system to the point I don't think I'll play much now after trying the new system for a few hours.

[@eloryosnak4100]

I like the new camera. HOWEVER Please for the love of god we need doubletap e to reset camera to freecam again. There are way too many options in cam, and theyre good options, but it would be very nice if they let us have a "nevermind" option like we used to I think another incredibly nice option (that i maybe missed lets be honest i could be dumb) would be the ability to just edit the 'tab' cycle. Like for example, removing one or two of the options, so its 3 instead of four, etc. Also yeah i got *wrecked* by CRAMorters and was very confused XD

[@caesar_cider2777]

Can you believe it guys? Christmas, just a day away. Chrysler is in a day! Woohoo! I am so happy about this information. Camera crisis! Just a day away, oh wow. Can you believe it? Crimis! Just in a day ! It got here so fast! Crimbus! Just a day away!

[@Ribbons0121R121]

Love the binoculars integration tbh

[@memeninja6910]

Hey I have a small issue first of all I’m new to from the depths and I made a small aircraft (it is one from your older tutorials) the issue is it’s max altitude should be 190m but it just goes to space any idea on how to fix this? (Also merry Christmas)

[@BorderWise12]

Classic plane problem! Try these if you haven't already: - add more pitch control (and make sure it's responding to the correct input) - have the plane control its altitude via pitch - make sure the thrust isn't below the centre of drag If you need more direct help, the help channel in OFTD is generally pretty helpful! :)

[@memeninja6910]

@ ok so I assume the first 2 things are to do with the AI but how do I check if my thrust isn’t below my center of mass? The thrusters run alongside the center of the plane (also my plane doesn’t use PID just AI)

[@memeninja6910]

@ most of what you said is kinda Chinese for me😅but one of my friends is more experienced and might be able to translate thx for the advice I’ll let ya know how it went

[@eloryosnak4100]

​​@@memeninja6910pitch control is under air and called "Tailplanes". Basically you should have a set of wings on your plane filled with Ailerons, and then a tail on the back of your plane filled with 'pitch' and 'Yaw' control, the easiest of which is in the Air section called a "tailplane" which gives both control. The last thing to check is to mouse over all of your ailerons and tail parts to be 100% sure nothing says "upside down" 190m is also *very* low for a plane. I recommend starting with ~400 height cap instead, as such a low height cap frequently either results in going to space due to loss of control, or dumping into the water/ground Realistically the easiest way to do Planes is, somewhat ironically, to quite literally build a Piper Warrior with missiles strapped to it. (Google piper warrior) Make a real civilian plane shape, with wings where you expect and a tail where you expect, and a prop in the front or a thruster or two in the back or on wings. I recommend using a prop on the nose, tbh. Make sure you don't have thrust in 'not' forward direction, as it'll be problematic, and if using 'plane 2.0' (which you should) make sure you have 'banking rolls' in AI set to some quantity. This helps control greatly. When Borderwise Our Lord And Savior says "thrust @ centre of mass", there *is* a way to do this easily, but you can also just visually make sure that the prop or jet is centered up/down/left/right on your build

[@memeninja6910]

@ yea I had seperate yaw and pitch control and after adding a higher altitude ceiling and more pitch control it doesn’t go all over the place anymore thanks for the advice lol at this point I’m making a word-document of all the advice I get to not make the same mistakes again

Earths north pole may not have any penguins but that doesn't stop Neter ;)

[@LocalDiscordCatgirl]

“These things are flown by penguins” Don’t be silly Mister Wise. Penguins can’t fly.

[@BorderWise12]

Then... THEN WHAT ARE THEY 🤯

[@rameses4245]

Now i gotta wait for new cram tetris tutorials

[@orange8175]

i liked the new camera from the start

[@miemsliva4464]

Merry crimbus. Also, just about done making my first boat and this update drops! Small wood, stone, and metal boat with missiles. It floats, it fires, and it can uh... hit itself with about 17K of it's own explosive damage and live! So i'm gonna do okay vs dwg I think, wish me luck!!

[@BorderWise12]

Good luck! :D

[@Remington53]

Missile IFF transmitter is a necessity

[@rahko3736]

I thought the update was gonna be rough, but the new scheme isn't as bad to use as I thought.

[@bigboygrease5922]

I hopped on and tried the camera it not near as bad as everyone is making it out to be. It will take some time for me to get my muscle memory with it and it will probably need some tweaks from the devs but i believe it will all be fine after a while. Honestly this game has had plenty of major overhauls and it all ends up being for the better imho

[@Rappe3434]

Merry Christmas BorderWise!

[@modernmarksmn]

I didn’t immediately revert to the previous version as soon as the update came out you did.

[@UnbeBleeder]

The right choice is always a toggle but as I never drive my own vehicles anyways the update is 1000% better imo. Being tethered to rambot kinda sucked. Neat for campaign, but a hassle in designer. Thinking about it more, while I get frustration with the new control scheme, it occurred to me why I never bothered to use my own craft... because it was unwieldy on the old scheme. Maybe ill actually try it out now lol

[@sampletext5959]

You know it's bad when the devs put in a tutorial to _use the camera._ I love the new ships and stuff in the update but a classic camera mode would go a long way.

[@Grimmwoldds]

Merry Canoe-mas BorderWise.

[@eloryosnak4100]

Borderwise, i have an odd request (especially seeing your AS fighter) You make a lot of vids about 'most wanted', and theres one that i would love to see that never is *enough* of an issue but does *suck* if you run into it. Could you make a video on the Hake? Specifically, a video on how to *hit* the damned thing with missiles. I think this would be very helpful to all the people who want to make a few crappy planes as superiority fighters, but end up in endless fights because they cant *be* hit but also cant *hit back*

[@BorderWise12]

@@eloryosnak4100 Good point! I can certainly do that. 😁

[@marystar1924]

They did update the holiday campaign. Maybe do the campaign? It is a very short campaign compared to the others.

[@BorderWise12]

Probably not soon, I need a break. 😅

[@3dwrecker_4660]

Im still not a fan of the update, however its not as bad as they all painted it as

[@_TuY_]

Merry skib

[@jocylinfrancis930]

Merry Christmas!

[@melfely474]

Render Distance Mod Has been updated BTW I have seen how much you love that mod!

[@BorderWise12]

Thank you! I better install it again right away! :D

[@leopardspheel3638]

merry chrysler

[@nickgrout2502]

Ho ho ho! Now i have an APS

[@newsurreal9871]

Mortar Buff :D!

[@ABalazs074]

This seems to be an update full of inconveniences. Rambot effectively killed, camera controls borked. Why were this even necessary? Not that it isn't showed down our throats. Sad.

[@firebomb13b]

The new controls are intolerable and need to be made as an option.

[@drecknathmagladery9118]

rip crucible. another monster of a ship has fallen i wish they would leave in the ships they retire make it so they no longer spawn in the campaign or adventure mode but made it so you could still spawn them in build mode that would make me happy as someone who enjoyed tinkering with existing ships in the designer and sometimes just liked to spawn them in just to look at them its always sad for me when i no longer get to see one

[@BorderWise12]

If I remember correctly, they do leave 'em in the files? Not sure, haven't checked recently. 🤔

[@ninjin_ninja4783]

They always remain in the files, we have old dwg designs from 2018 still in the built in files, they just aren't in the active spawning in adventure or designer spawn list.
