Orbiter Screenshot Thread

IF Eagle is still in lunar orbit, any guess as to it's orbital elements today? Might make an interesting mission in Orbiter... Either to visit it, or even recover it for return to Earth.

This might be useful: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2105.10088.pdf

Similar angle in Orbiter :

Is it possible to stream textures into orbiter? (Like it just downloads the places where we visit)

 

[n72.75]

Stream, no. But you might want to look at this thread: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/apollo-landing-site-sceneries-for-orbiter-2016.38022/

Thanks, the pics there look great. The add-on community around Orbiter is just awesome.

Nice ! Is there a way to make that atmosphere a bit more "steamy" ?

I think there is a way, but I do not know how to make it more steamy

This represents my first attempt at creating original content for Orbiter (and learning something about using Blender). I have taken for inspiration an early (1960s) concept design for a modified S-IVB stage that was intended to be recoverable-on-land, implementing a deorbit burn and using a system of ballutes and parachutes for terrestrial landing.

Here is the model I have conjured in Blender - so far (still a work-in-progress):



And here is the model in Orbiter (LC-14 visible in the first two images is from the Old-Atlas-Series overhaul by 1987VCRProductions):











Launching it from the ground is purely the product of my imagination. Have to start somewhere. I'm having fun with it and learning as I go. Much more to do. Stand by.

Wow that one is quite crazy, so I love it !

That's some old-school HF-Fax transmission you got there!

thanks rock it did turn out not so disastrous at the end, I want to believe
I use a few filters on my trusty Paint.com (don't have photoshop) and the main one is named "film"
here's how the original look:


Say...
my AMSO texture update is finally (yeah, I know, I'm probably the slowest modder of them all) basically ready for release
but then at a very end of "AMSO-User-manual.doc" I stumbled at this part:

so... guess I wouldn't be able to publish them just like that huh ? can I ask some kind of permission or what ? where ?
I ask you here rather via private cause maybe someone else can give me the right advice. I could just keep those for my self
but I just feel it would be a shame after all work done, so many textures modified/added, don't know...

needless to say, wouldn't ask for any money for those, of course. that didn't even ever cross my mind at any point
