Vladimir has released high resolution texture files for his SpaceEngine. You can download them via torrents. Already tested it myself and considered absolutely stunning! Learn more here: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/17-496-1

Hello Jarmonik, very nice progress you're making here. I just discovered by a post in the screenshot forum that you implemented the ability for use of normalmaps and specular maps for vessels! Outstanding! :thumbup: ...now, not wanting to be annoying, but do you plan for the near future, to...

Tex, this is the only place on the web which feels like being "at home". Your efforts in setting up and keeping this place are highly appreciated. I sincerely wish you all the best for your future plans, I know you will succeed. Whenever there will be a chance, let me invite you to a beer...

A different kind of formation flying. Very nifty! :thumbup: http://youtu.be/YQIMGV5vtd4

Damn it, I missed it! My brother, living not far from my home here (Karlsruhe), saw it. His descriptions made me so jealous of what he had witnessed, and me, the space geek, missed, aarrghh. Here are a few really nice videos of the event recorded by some lucky folks in southern Germany...

The world is full of stunning beautiful women, the older I get (40 now), the more there are. Perhaps this is a side-effect of growing old, lol One women I was totally blown away by I saw at a live concert 4 years ago. Golly, what a woman... (gasping) http://youtu.be/3d9nrrQGxzA

Oh wow! Thanks orb for the heads-up. This is fantastic news to me. Whoohoo, finally a decent global elevation map of the moon. AMAZING! :)

Dito! I thought the same, sadly, it wasn't the case. 2011 is not a good year in airshow business. Saw the Red Arrows many times in Europe on airshows live, always liked their show, great flying. May the team and its supporters keep the spirit up!

Hey Don, wish you all the best for your surgery! Hope to see you soon here, though real life comes first! Good luck!

Wow, I never noticed those sound pressure shock waves bouncing off upwards from the launchpad in the Apollo 17 launch footage...Holy Cow! :thumbup: http://youtu.be/NEfMkkk1mo4

Willkommen Horman! Wenn's mit dem Englisch nicht mehr weitergeht, einfach auf Deutsch in die Tasten hau'n, hier gibt's gar nicht wenig deutschsprachige Orbinauten. Allen voran, der Top-Poster in diesem und dem früheren Orbiter Forum von M6, Urwumpe! :thumbup: Viel Spaß! Grüße aus dem Süden:cheers:

Cool thread Tex! Great contributions so far! I too do like cycling a lot, as it is a good and needed change from my daily office job. Mostly, I ride from my home to the center of my home city Karlsruhe, Germany and back at least once a day, which equals to 21 kilometers. Due to the nature of my...

HEY ZAPHOD! My semi cousin, how have you been doing! :lol: and WELCOME! :cheers:

Hey, that looks like the model done by Max Grueter. He did some really nice space related models in Sketchup. :thumbup:

Which security considerations are you thinking of? Maybe they could locate the racetrack some 10 nautical miles from the audience stage, inside a temporary restricted airspace, above the desert and away from any living areas. The action is recorded with powerful long-range lens cameras, with...

I bet it will reenter and impact at at completely "unspectacular" location, somewhere over the oceans near Antarctica, with noone able to spot it, and the remains of the debris sinking to the deep oceanic floor.

alagreca, I just tried AMSO 1.2 on Orbiter build 110824, D3D9client RC34b, Apollo 12 launch scenario. Autopilot worked flawlessly resulting in a nominal LEO insertion! Hmm... Which scenario were you running?
