Just a quick note, that onde has updated his website. Some of you may have noted that the link to the contributed .deb-package for 0.9.01 did not point to the correct information. Sorry, if you ran into that.
I have now updated the link to point to the directory the .deb is in. In order to visit the accompanying instructions (setting up you sources.list), visit http://onde.linux-daemon.de/debian.shtml

Hi,

I am stuck on the 3rd or 4th level of the "Introduction to TaxiPilot" series. It's the level right after the "KDE Desktop" level.

There does not seem to be any way to get to the "Bottom Right" and "Bottom Left" platforms. There are these door-like blue lines blocking the way, and I can't seem to get them to open.

Can I have a hint, please? ;)

I think that you are looking at the "mushroom" level (see screenshots). There is a "hot spot" in the upper right corner of the screen resembling a sun. That is the trigger to open the doors.

Ok, it still seems like there's something wrong. Even after I visit the "hotspot" in the upper right, I have to get my taxi *incredibly* close to the door before it will open (like a single pixel from crashing it!), and even then, sometimes it does not open. Is this the intended behavior? It's pretty frustrating...

Hmm - interesting. Are you talking about the left door, or the right one? The left door should open when you get reasonably close (some 20 pixels), the right door should not open at all (that's an exit only).
If this is not, what you're seeing, could you please contact me by mail, so we can try to work out what's going wrong?
Thanks!

This was one of my favorite games a couple years ago! I wasted HOURS of work time on this one. I always like gravity games!

Thanks for reviving this great game!

Sigmund Freud would have been delighted. Both at me drawing such a thing and at you asking such a question. That same Freud is quoted as saying "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".
In this case, that platform-carrying-column-thingy-drawn-by-a-person-who-can't-really-draw
is just that: a platform-carrying-column-thingy-drawn-by-a-person-who-can't-really-draw.
Anyway - now that some very nice new levels have been added, I'm going to put up some new screenshots soon.

Yes, no development happend during the entire last year, but no, the project is not dead. It's currently slowly coming back to life. Development won't progress quickly (unless some further developers join in), but a new release is to be expected within the next few weeks.
That new release will also include some contributed high-quality graphics.
