geoscape view

(1/2) > >>

kaeau:
forgive me if there is already a thread about this,
but are there plans to do the earth view in 3D like the old ufo games, and, well, like google earth, etc?
would be much better in visual and , more important, look and feel ways, so that the player actually "feels" the planet, he / she is defending.

Mattn:
yes - the plans are there - but currently we have noone that started this topic - there is already some code to start with - just search for map3d, globe and so on in our codebase.

kaeau:
