Holy crap! As an Antelope Valley native, I gotta say that's outstanding!

I just installed and tried the d3d9 client. I actually think the stock Orbiter looks more realistic. The colors are more like real life in the stock version, imho, and the atmospheres behave oddly. Stock: d3d9: Real life image: Also, d3d9 does strange things to the atmosphere. Stock...

I'm not adding anything yet that is dependent on other addons that don't work yet. This one requires UMMU, which isn't working in 2016 yet.

I need some advice. Until now, I've been running the stock Orbiter. I wanted to try the graphic clients that are being developed here... but I'm very green with this sort of thing, and I don't know which one I should choose. Or which one is more stable? d3d9? d3d11? OpenGL? I am running Windows...

USS Bekuo VASIMR v.1.01 seems to work...

Not quite what I was going for, though I'm hoping we get clouds soon too. I'm thinking more of atmospheric visibility. Right now we can see clear through to the horizon; I'd like to be able to make it so you can adjust that anywhere from a clear day (now) to pea soup fog.

This image was posted by MeDiCS about five years ago. It says it was a rendering test, so I'm sure it was manipulated. My question is, would it be possible to ramp up the haze in Orbiter to do something like this? It would be cool if you could simulate the seasonal storms on Mars by...

So with ten times the matter, do we still need "dark matter" to explain everything?

Last night, I was running the Europa to Callisto tutorial scenario. Everything went by the numbers until I got to the orbit insert burn. The engine never shut off after zero eccentricity was reached and I ended up in a collision course with the moon. I thought I had done something wrong until I...

I noticed this last night. I was running the Europa to Callisto tutorial scenario. Everything went by the numbers until I got to the orbit insert burn. The engine never shut off after zero eccentricity was reached and I ended up in a collision course with the moon. Thought I had done something...

Stupid question: Would it be possible to extend the collision system to include ship meshes, not just ground ones? So you would bounce off ships rather than pass through them? ---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ---------- Another stupid question. It was...

It's rotating for me. Yours doesn't rotate?

This is the other issue I originally mentioned. Seeing along the edges of planets with atmospheres, a random jagged flickering phenomenon. It flickers so fast this is the first time I was able to capture it in a screenshot. It's as if sections of atmosphere aren't rendered. ---------- Post...

I decided to take off from Olympus base and do the Martian moon tour. Here's touchdown on Phobos. (I wish I had some sort of anchor on this craft... it keeps bouncing away!) Doing a little exploring of Phobos before moving on to Deimos. And now on to Deimos. Touchdown on Deimos...

1. Apollo 13 - So accurate, when I was flying it in Orbiter I'm like "I know this switch!" Though after flying it in Orbiter I can point out the errors, as well... 2. The Right Stuff - Great feel-good movie and a great double-feature with Apollo 13. A lot of it took place in the area I grew up...

I'm not sure if this is related to the breakup around the planets atmosphere that has been discussed here or not, but I was docked to the Aurora space station (in a circumpolar orbit), and as I passed over Antarctica I took this interesting screenshot. Notice the parallel banding; it tended to...

UMMU is currently not compatible with 2016 so it's not on the list.

It still works in 2016!

I was testing the Big Wheel addon, and I looked away in the distance and saw what appeared to be a second Big Wheel orbiting below me! Then I realized I was looking at the Big Wheel's shadow! :lol:

Stupid question: I'm working on seeing if the Outer Planets mod by VF2_Rolf can be brought up to work in 2016, and am making some decent headway. But I'm curious: There are a few moons that have irregular meshes: is there any way of making the meshes behave like the earth/moon/mars meshes? I.e...
