Right now, Mars is procedurally generated like the other planets and not based on the real-life version like Earth is.<br/>

The "problem" can be solved by editing pioneer's config.ini and changing FOV from 80 to 40. Now, try to fly without using autopilot, Good Luck!.<br/>
I tried this, and I have to say that all the game objects—terrain, stars, planets—now look much more like ...

Hi, I don't know much about modelling, so I'm not quite sure I'm following this discussion. What are ...

Seconding that. It would be great to have city-looking clumps of buildings that ...

Now that we've got these awesome-looking skyscrapers, I wonder if we can remove that building that looks like a bunch of disks stacked up. Those always looked nonsensical to me.

Terminal shows the next command prompt before Pioneer crashes, so it seems that it runs for a bit before closing.Edit: as per advice here I tried deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Pioneer, but it ...

Thanks for the OSX build, Philbywhizz. However, it quits itself immediately upon being opened. Do other OSX users have this problem?
