Micro-SL Continues
Thunderbird Island now contains land detail and structures/vegetation of about 1/5th normal scale. Also, testing has begun on an aircraft about 1/6th normal scale, with a miniaturized Avatar to pilot it.
The effect is astounding… The sim has the feel of TWENTY FIVE normal sims for air combat. Moving to a 1/6th scale will push that to 36 Sim Aparent Size (SAS).
So far, only my friend Nexus and I have fought in the micro planes, though there is room for many more now… a 10 plane fight would not be a problem at all, in terms of size. I just need 8 more pilots!
The primary limitation seems to be the avatar itself. A custom made and radically folded avatar seems to allow for about a 1/6th scale vehicle. Getting smaller will be quite a technical challange which I will leave for others to work on.
