Launching Cargo Dragon to Mars (Boosters flyback to LZ1, Core stage EDL without flyback to OCISLY).

FalconHeavy launching from LC39A! Cool. You're three steps ahead of me
Looks good.

Flying the XR5 with the NASA Constitution skin, about to fly over the Iberian Peninsula. This shot was in my very first Orbiter 2010 video that I uploaded just a few weeks ago.

Looks great, although I have noticed a few inaccuracies. The most notable one is the spot light beams coming from the FSS/RSS. There are no spot lights on the FSS/RSS, only tungsten lights. One page to check is this one: http://nasatech.net/ntSubPad39A_PAGE.html
It has 360° panoramas from just about every level of Pad A.

Martins, maybe someone asked you before: is there a project to give a raw elevation on flat satellites and planets? It's a great change, however!!

Not sure I understand. Do you mean a method to create synthetic elevation data for planets for which we don't have elevation information? That could be quite tricky. You could try to recover elevations from the shadows on images, as long as you know the relative position of the sun. Or the surface structure itself could give a hint. For example on Europa, the dark veins might be depressions (or ridges?) which you could use for a synthetic heightmap.

LC-39

Thanks DaveS, that site is really helpful, the Pad is still a work in progress, but I can't make it totally accurate its too detailed and at the moment it only works in D3D9 at the moment, and the lights are from the lighted Pad addon but will be deleting those two spot lights.
The Pad works with Thortons ISSR LC-39B .dll the FSS and RSS I've built but the Base mesh for the MLP is by the SSU guys, it is the most accurate but still working on it eventually will release it

Reentry for Heathrow: coast of Greenland



English Lake District and Solway Firth

Orbiter 2016. Nice.

 

[StargazerBranden]

Nice shots, streb! I really like the coast of Greenland one with the reflections on the water. I'm not too familiar with English geography but the lake district and firth, is that Land's end area?

 

[streb2001]

Lake District is north-west England near the Scottish border.
