Full Day/Night Cycle on ArcCorp at Area18

[mr-hasgaha]

I recorded a full day and night cycle at Area18 on the planet ArcCorp within the Star Citizen alpha 3.5. The total recorded footage is approximately 160 minutes long that I sped up into a single minute time-lapse.

All footage was recorded in game by me in Star Citizen Alpha 3.5 on the LIVE servers within the sandbox "Universe" or "Crusader" game mode in 4k 16:9, 3840x2160.

today the Nattering Nabobs of Negativity are complaining, " It's taking too long to develop, they'll never finish it."

when the game goes live they will whine, "It's too immersive, it sucks you in and you'll never want to leave."

excellent work by @mr-hasgaha as expected

Awesome video, linked it to some friends to entice em to take part in the free fly weekend!

Just got one question though: how you didn't get disconnected while doing this?
I'm currently looking for a solution to stay connected while being "inactive" as I have to step away from the pc for more then 10minutes fairly regularly, but I'm tired of having to start all over cos I get thrown off the server.

And that outro. A masterpiece.

I don't know how to do it. But I guess you could write a script to do movement on the cursor or such on a time frame?

Was thinking of doing what you described, unless there is a better way. Like push W every 5mins or something.

Thank you Lorddarthvik... I hope your friends gave SC a try and had a decent time.

Like hardroc77 said, the key is (1) finding a key you can press that WON'T affect your camera or character movement and (2) find an emulator/script/macro that will trigger that key in game every ** minutes to reset the inactivity timer.

I don't know how to do it. But I guess you could write a script to do movement on the cursor or such on a time frame?

A lot depends on the shot. I avoid pressing W because that would move my character/ship which would then disrupt my shot. I look for keys that WON'T make my character move. Pressing the "free look" toggle (Z by default) will work sometimes. SHIFT/sprint used to work for me but I've had trouble with it NOT resetting the inactivity timer. Other people have said HOLDING the orbit camera toggle (F4 by default) works. Tapping it will cause you to jump between first and third person... but HOLDING it for a second will not.
