The Altea website says that the hires tiles are available as a torrent file, but I can't find a link to such a file there, is that option still supported with the newest texture updates?

That's my Voskhod development thread. The project was put on indefinite hold a while ago, to be honest I haven't worked on any addons in a LONG time. That being said, I did do a sort of proof-of-concept a while ago which took Jekka's Vostok addon and modified it to model the Voskhod spacecraft...

I like the news feed idea, although it would require developers to set up RSS feeds which AFAIK don't really exist at the moment. Nonetheless, it would be cool to have sort of an instant update on any projects I'm following without having to search the forum for threads.

There have been many points in our history where we thought we had exhausted the Earth's resources (Malthus, etc.) but then we found ways to get around that. Theoretically, one could say that the Earth's resources are unlimited, as long as we continue to develop new technology to use these...

No, it definitely isn't. The animation is a far better recreation.

Orulex is a really good addon, but two major things prevent me from using it that much, one is compatibility with D3D9 and the other is that terrain generation is tremendously graphics heavy. For these reasons, I would be far more interested in seeing further development of OGLA for Orbiter than...

Definitely should be called Uranus Airbace...

Looks like a good system for the cost. What Hielor said, and also, not sure a 500 Watt PSU will cover all that, did you customize this rig or is it more or less off the shelf?

Hmmm... Haven't seen him in anything else but I'm sort of glad they broke the trend with the Doctor getting younger and younger. Seemed a bit incongruous, especially with the many references to his impending death. Well I can't say I'm sad that Smith is leaving, Tennant was far better, in my...

What Urwumpe said, but if you want something that closely matches the colors as seen on videos of stage separation, the beta version of NASSP on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nassp/?source=directory), is pretty nice.

I'm not sure if this is the issue being referred to by others, but for me the flickering is fixed with R11c but installing R12 brings the flickering back. I have an ATI Radeon 5570 GPU and Win XP.

As far as I know, the distance is unlimited as long as you turn off HUD displays and any MFDs which show your altitude/position, as these crash at large enough numbers. If you haven't tried Jedidia's Orbiter Galaxy (Orbiter Galaxy 0.6.3 PATCH), I would suggest giving that a shot. It's a little...

AFAIK, RTF is gone for good so logging in at the site wouldn't help. I don't know if the addons are available anywhere else or how you would go about getting them.

I should be able to dedicate some time for beta testing, just let me know when the testing is.

Saw STS-123 (I think, maybe a different number) the other day, coincidence? I think not...
