Pyramid Design Releases A-OK! The Wings of Mercury 3.7
Improved networked space missions
Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey (Tuesday, May 9, 2006) – Pyramid
Design has enhanced its space simulator, A-OK! The Wings of Mercury,
with improved networked space mission performance. This feature
allows up to 10 other users to log on the simulator and act as
mission controllers. The educational product, which is avaiable on
Windows XP and Mac OS X, also has increased detail in the Mercury
spacecraft 3D model.
Networked Mission Improvements
A free update for owners of A-OK! The Wings of Mercury 3.5 and later,
version 3.7 features many improvements to networked missions in both
the main program and the A-OK! Mercury Control Center (MCC):
Login can occur at any time before or during a mission.
Time displays are visible on top of the main window. This means
every console can see these displays.
Displays are automatically reset when the mission starts or MCC is
disconnected and is reconnected.
Display updates are smoother because of faster telemetry
transmission.
Flight Director console has its own flight plan and checklists and
a note pad.
Flight Dynamics Officer plotters now have increased accuracy.
Additionally, the following improvements have been made in the
spacecraft model:
Added more capsule detail including, Destabilizing Flap,
Retrorocket Covers and Retrograde Package Straps.
Retrorocket flames improved.
"Schools and groups of individuals are starting to run networked
missions in greater numbers," states Joe Nastasi, president of
Pyramid Design, "so we concentrated on improvements to the networking
features for this release. We are very happy to see this level of
interest on this unique feature."
