Your video settings make it look kinda squished, that map in the upper right should be square. I like that you did it, maby we can make a better production of it, have to ponder it some. Good job getting it posted.

I recorded with fraps at 1600x1050 32bit, used windows movie maker to make movie (720x570?) then used a 3rd party program to convert in WD-HD (1920x1080 16:9 widescreen)  Its My first attempt so no oscars for me!!

There was sound (storms, rover, walking etc) but I uploaded music over (wipes off all sound)... it can be quiet on mars!

radio chat sounds great as background noise etc, would enhance the ambience.... BTW have you ever considered pre-recorded radio commands/acknowlegments? ie,, key 1 = 'roger', key 2='On My way',
 key 3= 'need assitance' etc.. Sounding like nasa radio chat..?????

I could probably add something like that but for now all my time is being spent on the mechanicals, make it work first, fluff at the end.
There are lots more sounds I would like to add as well but no time to work on that.
