Okay, so when was EVCS announced? Late January right? How about ELS.Net? It was announced last week, right?
Are you expecting to see something arrive within a week of the first public announcement? If so, perhaps you need to rethink your expectations and think back to the time it took for EVCS to 'arrive' - 2 months later.
Here's the thing, ELS.Net is being designed from the ground up as a special or alternative version of ELS. It uses the same name for a reason, it is for people who want ELS, but don't want the extra parts system. As such, I'm doing my best, in close collaboration with Lt.Caine (we've exchanged upwards of 100 lengthy messages), to replicate ELS. Now, if you take time to consider just how complex ELS is (think about the controls, the little touches, the interface...) you might realise that doing so is actually quite a daunting challenge.
This is getting ridiculous, I'm sick of the flaming about all of this, so let me make some things very clear.
1. Contrary to what some people are claiming, EVCS is not the first mod of its kind
The first mod to feature coronas as a method of emergency lighting was made by me in 2010, it was called Illumination and it was a very experimental thing that I ditched for the same reasons that a lot of people are criticising EVCS for: http://youtu.be/9WNEj9yskh4?t=1m45s
2. ELS.Net has been in development since January 19th, 2013 (before EVCS was announced)
I started work on ELS.Net on January 19th, coming up with some basic concepts for how it might work. Back then, it was still known as Illumination, and was me picking up where I left off here:
3. EVCS and ELS.Net are alternatives for people who don't like the extra parts system.
That's all they are - alternatives. Some people will prefer the options of EVCS like livery switching, some people will prefer the features of ELS.Net such as full pattern customisation, exporting and sharing as well as the ELS interface and the rotating light simulation.
Now please, can we cut the crap?
