    Project N1 Lunar

    Out of curiosity, which of Jean-Marie's models are you adapting? I know of three versions that he put together for Celestia. Left-to-right (names are his) they are: N1, N1-new, and N1-transport: EDIT: Or, maybe you are taking one block at a time from the 'N1-Lune' file?

    GREAT that you are taking this on. Take your time and don't go crazy. As far as possible, embrace the danger (kidding) and try to have fun with it. Remember to breathe. Please post updates, as you are able.

    GREAT sequence of storyboards! Metal textures on the LEV look good.

    I give you extra-high marks for your attention to detail on those upper stage engines. Very nice.

    Software Orbiter 2024 does not open

    I had the same (or similar) experience in early January, shortly after Orbiter 2024 was released. The solution was to copy zlib.dll from the Orbiter root directory into the Modules\Server directory. I thought this had been fixed, so I'm not sure this applies to your situation. Check your...

    Wonderful! Those colors look great. The R-4 copter fits well in such context.

    Agena upper stages. The CORONA program, active primarily during the 1960s, deployed a series of satellites for the purposes of photographic reconnaissance. Early satellites within the program ran under the name 'Discoverer' and later missions flew under the name 'Keyhole' (KH). Most of these...

    Similar capture, in Orbiter 2016 (where there is no glare.hlsl in Modules\D3D9client), looks like this:

    Great shots. I imagine all of those variables (metal textures, nomals, spec maps) are tricky on their own, and the possible combinations are endless. The ones you have here are very convincing.

    Ruhrstahl X-4: Not exactly 'orbital' in nature, the X-4 was an air-to-air wire-guided missile developed by Germany during WWII - but was never deployed during wartime. Another example of a missile precursor that inspired further work and later developments in the field of rocketry science...

    Another Russian research rocket derived from a missile precursor. Tracing its heritage back to the V-2, the V-1-Ye belonged to a group of Soviet geophysical rockets that were active up until 1956. In addition to two FIAR (Physical Investigation of the Atmosphere by means of Rockets) instrument...

    Thanks; you did a nice job with this. It sails into low Earth orbit fine, but reentry is a challenge. Peace, cs

    General Question New to Orbiter and a quick hello from me!!

    Welcome to the Monkey House. Orbiter 2024 is still fairly new; I'm not sure anyone at this point is ENTIRELY sure regarding what works/is 100% compatible and what does not/is not. You will have to embrace the empirical approach - try things out and if you encounter problems post here (the...

    General Question Off parameter in Multistage 2015 ???

    Thanks. It seems like trial-and-error and what looks good will prevail. Probably I've been making this more complex than it needs to be - I have recently discovered through experimenting that although the 'Off' parameter IS mandatory and must be included in the MS *.ini file, values of 0.000...

    General Question Off parameter in Multistage 2015 ???

    I've been working on some simple rocket models, using Blender to construct meshes and Multistage 2015 to fly them in Orbiter. Seems like I am constantly wrestling with the 'Off' [Off=(xx,yy,zz)] parameter in MS2015 and wonder if someone can help explain what this is all about. This is a...
