I made it with VesselBuilder, and it's so much fun to fly!

The Pictown addon has pretty nice night white lights:



It seems it makes sense to try making night (colourful) lights like spot sprays in Photoshop.

Pictown was made for 2010, where Night Lights aren't a thing. These lights are just the vanilla ones with high-res tiles.

Visiting the CSS in Iron Man MK4.



I always thought of the CSS as a rather small space station (or at least a compact one). This visit really helped me put everything in perspective. It is HUGE! :O


Look at this! You can barely see him!

The future is now, with Concorde!
(Or: learning VesselBuilder by making a plane. Base mesh from this old addon)

A screenshot from @LordCroussette's big project of Québec:



Orbiter 2016 looks here so natural and beautiful.

We need to learn how to make trees

We need to learn how to make trees

We need to learn how to meshes visible behind transparent meshes! Then we would have trees!

We need to learn how to make trees

That's definitely so!

And we should investigate the effect of a large number of trees, building and other objects on Orbiter performance.

I think we can try placing trees, houses on the ground, and this will make the flickering of surface textures less noticeable.

Also they make place like airports look much more real, give a feeling of speed when rolling on taxiways and runways...

That tree above looks perfect. How many polygons ?

They are just two very thin cubes placed in a cross. So like 24 tris total (or 12 polys). And, it could be reduced by half if they were replaced by four planes instead.

Meshes with a transparent texture must be rendered last, otherwise the meshes rendered afterward will also be transparent.
