Went there IRL... I remember those low mountains / tall hills around the city. You have to do the Frontenac castle

I will... eventually, once I stop procrastinating x)

Don't worry, same thing here

High above the Chilean coast a Crew Dragon is closing in on the VAST space station

Where'd you get that station addon?

I am making it, as a small after-work project.
Will put a simple cfg-version on "Commerical LEO destinations" when ready. This may still take some time.

Nice, looks great!
I'm looking for something to park in Mars orbit, or serve as a HAB for a Mars trip. Looks like the size is about right for that.

A Blue Origin Lander is topping off its tanks on a Centaur tanker before starting its descent to the Lunar surface.

This is not an addon yet. I am trying to find out the size of the Lander, based on the photo currently published. Kept the overall height at 16 m. First tank size calculations show the lander has only dV from low Lunar orbit to land and back. It needs a tug to reach NRHO. The tug could be a Centaur-derived vehicle.

I know I know... but what can you do, sometimes you just get one of those... overexposed images

"Use the Force, Luke...! Let go, Luke!"

"Luke, trust me..."

"He turned off his computer! Luke, what's wrong?"

"Nothing! I'm alright!"


"You're all clear, kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!"




Other than the lasers, all of this is in Orbiter! Well, except the last image obviously. That's pure photoshop xD

Even though it's straight-line flying, it is very fun.

I love the XR family but the Vanguard's mesh has always bothered me. I like the huge cargo capacity, but there was something about the huge landing gear that was as if the ship was on stilts.
While playing around with the XR5 mesh, I stumbled upon a configuration that I think looks nice.


The XR8 "Galaxy/Antonov" ?



with 6 SABRE engines under the wings, it can be converted to back/bottom loader. No need for the scrams at the belly either.
Though I doubt that such a configuration would survive reentry, well... neither would the current Vanguard, unless it was made of unobtainium.

Man, I wish I had the skills to model this properly.

Same here about various things. I have a nice drawing by Matt Plog about a better Nightlord warship design, that I could really love to put into Orbiter, but I don't find the beginning of the mesh process....

That would be a real neat cargo airliner irl. Meanwhile I'm just sitting here waiting for the XR3...

It's a cube. The meshing process starts with a cube.

Thats what I thought. But then my mind implodes and I stare at the result in disbelief. That, BTW, is a nightlord:



I wanted to do it with multiple cubes, since it is made of quite distict sections.

Like a lot of things I'm sure learning do do this involves being comfortable with being bad at it for a rather long time. Also starting with the "hello world" level of modeling.

I am very familiar with Solidworks/Inventor etc, but it has not automatically made me an expert in blender.
