6) Pilot House Stuff: I don't want to get complicated here, so if you'd like to minimize the beta work, just the actual wheel could do for the beta. If you feel like modelling the radio too, that's cool. I'd suggest that you use a digital (like a led) readout instead of dials, that way I could put a script on random and the numbers would change which each operation of the radio, hence, it'd display a different frequency in its display each time and play a random clip. The inside of the ship itself (compartments) will have to wait for final....
*A button for the ship's horn would be nice, too.
7) Pilot's lair: 'SAVING FOR FINAL' If you're still in to this idea, I'd like to have this as well. Although, I was thinking instead of using parachute cloth to detail the opening of the cave, perhaps we should just obsure its view with vegetation instead. Two reasons: One, its location is very close to the ocean so it stands to reason that anything outside would most likely have been washed away years ago, and secondly, hiding the entrance adds that possibility that a player could walk past the location, hence, not find it the first time around.
Other lair items: Old lantern, ammo boxes, perhaps a gun and any other little item you might be able to think of. I also anticipate a diary at the site, I've begun that myself, though I'll see if trav is interested in finishing the entries for me.

16) Balloon: Last, but certainly not least, since this is how we arrived at this Island. However, I've been rethinking our original plans on this. I was thinking that perhaps it'd be better from an explorational standpoint that we start off somewhere along the backside of the Island instead of its center and have our nearly deflated balloon strewn across the ocean behind Anne where she starts. The player, would then be able to go either left or right, and gradually work their way around and into the Island's center. We wouldn't need the basket of the balloon either, just the actual balloon top. I hope you agree to this, 'cause the more I think about starting out at the tree, the less I like the idea. I really think that this is a better starting point....

19) Dinos: Well, this is all your department, my friend, though I think just a revamped Raptor, your compy and that one dino you showed us that kinda looks like a stegosaur though has a club at the end of its tail would do nicely for the beta. If another comes about, that'd be a nice surprise for the final....
Well, I know this sounds like alot of stuff, hope not, but I'm pretty sure that's it. I know that you have much on your plate these days, but I really felt it necessary to detail all of the necessary objects lacking and what we needed to accomplish before we can release this puppy to the General Public.
Maybe in the next trescom update you should supply a few renders for a sneak peak at one or two of the dinos.
