Re: POLL: KITT's Dash

That Saab concept looks very nice. I think a similar 'high-tech' look is needed, and I'd love for the electronic screen to be extended to the right. PaoloM, you're right - if done correctly, we should all be amazed and pleased with the dash. You want to instill the "wish my dash looked like tha...

Re: KITT in the New Movie

These might only be concept images for the 2011 T/A but I think they're the best fit IMO. KITT should resemble this fairly closely. clicky1 clicky2 It shouldn't look like a brick and have some kinda aerodynamic properties to allow it to attain high speeds as well aid things like turbo boost. I love ...

Re: POLL: KITT's Dash

For quiet some time, I’ve felt that the perfect way to update KITT’s dashboard would be to simply convert the LED readouts to touch screen panels. This keeps all of the gauges and readouts visible at all times, like they should be for a car that is essentially a prototype aircraft inside the body o...

I don't know what a diffused LED display would look like but I would have gone for a 'solid' 3-bar setup I disagree with solid red bars for KITT's voice box Knight2000, it would really look like a step back I think because it would feel more like an Atari vector graphic .

Re: POLL: KITT's Voice Box

I don't know what a diffused LED display would look like but I would have gone for a 'solid' 3-bar setup a bit like:

I'd also lose the 3 modes underneath and have one box which changes colour and text.

Re: Best Scene in the new KR Film!

Yeah that was my fave scene too. When I was watching it for the first time, I remember hoping they'd show a montage KI3T doing a long drive from one side of america to the other set to the music. Would have been way cool. But they just kicked it into the titles (which wasn't too bad though I wasn't ...

Re: da Plane! da Plane!

Did anyone else think that KI3T was going to parachute out of the plane or something? I knew it was a plane before they showed anything than an interior shot. When they opened the cargo bay door and showed the plane was still moving, I immediately thought they were going to drop KI3T out mid-air. St...

Re: did you like the nbc kr movie??

I liked some aspects of the movie but not others. Then again, like most of you I'm biased. I've seen the original pilot more times than other show, including other KR eps. I've fallen in love with the 80s pilot and that makes it difficult to do a proper comparison. You need someone who's never watch...

Re: How many time you watched the new pilot?

Once.

Other than that, I've played it again to skip through bits, namely the bit at the beginning where the car rushes past the truck in the dark (without lights on I might add, though I guess that was to accentuate the scanner), and the bit at the end where they're driving off the plane.

Re: KITT is Back - NBC Commercial

What I find amusing is that back when I was 13-14 and KR was being reaired during the 90s, I used to dream of having a KITT with a dual auto/manual gearbox. Back then, I really liked the idea of a manual KITT but at the same time it'd be cool to have an auto gearbox. My solution to this dual-transmi...

Re: SKI MODE

I always thought ski mode was done primarily on one side because it's easier for the stunt driver - more control etc.

Ski mode was like turbo boost - the computer determined what was the best response in a given situation.

Re: Why the cobra on the Mustang...why not Knight

Really?

I was led to believe that Larson originally wanted to be a corvette (he liked the shape of it) but then heard about a railcar carrying T/As becoming derailed and since the T/A also had the shape Larson had in mind, he bought it from Pontiac at a discounted rate.

What's funny is that my dad used to think KITT was nuclear-powered until he saw the exhaust plumes in Goliath Returns (he was never a fan nor a regular viewer).

Lol I remember toying around with the idea of making something similar with my Pc. The only problem was the two constraints I had: time and money.

Surprised he didn't stick a scanner in there somewhere. That's one of the first things I would have done.
