    Is there any chance that you can look at Wallops Island? It's a very active launch center, including RocketLab launches, but there have been no updates for 2016, not to mention issues with the original base builds that put spacecraft in the ocean in scenarios.

    [April Fool] Facebook acquisition notice

    Well done, though! It was clear to me that it had to be satire, but it was beautifully executed.

    OHM Moonbase Alpha 101027

    Okay, new issue. I set up a new 2010p1 installation and installed all the prerequisites and Moonbase Alpha with all updates. Male UMMU characters (Koenig. etc.) do not have a visible left arm, where some custom textures for rank and section go. I've been trying to isolate the issue. Anyone...

    Mesh Wizard thumbnail view issue

    Eh, it appears that maybe I have stumbled onto the proper settings on my own. Do the dds and the converted bmp have to be in the same folder? That appears to be what made things work for me.

    Mesh Wizard thumbnail view issue

    I see in the FAQ where Mesh Wizard is supposed to use BMPs. But I can't get it to recognize one. It only appears to see DDS files -- but when you select one, it does an immediate CTD. I KNOW people use this thing. How do you get around this so you can texture? Is there a specific DDS to BMP...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    Thank you. I see that my focus and distraction caused me to make another error. When I selected the proper Orbiter instance root, the elv file I placed in the tree showed up.

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    So, back to my issue with 10b18t37.elv. I set the archive selector to cache only to force the ElvTileSplitter to read the cache. The attachments show the result -- it flatly refused. Again, I DO have a Surf tile for this in cache. I have a full, extracted tile set in the...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    I have a full cache in the test installation -- ALL Earth tiles. The surf tile for l10b18t37 is present. That's very good information to know -- but as I said, the surface tile is present in cache. So I continue to be baffled as to why the Tile Splitter refuses to present the elv tile in...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    1. I don't see how I would have ever guessed that I needed to set to archive only. Your instructions say different -- they say Cache+Archive. Given that Cache+Archive includes the Archive, I'm wondering why that doesn't work. Frankly, anyone following the directions as written will hit the...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    The Wallis Island description was somewhat useful ...in that I could more or less follow it, where the Mars example failed. I believe the direction to empty the cache totally is the problem there. In any case, this is my problem: I'm working with tile 10b18t37. It's ugly, for some reason --...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    More issues with Case Mars Sadly, I'm back. I got to step 2 on Page 29. Press Select, check Elev Data... I can't check Elev Data -- It's greyed out and I get an error message that there is no tile in the cache. That's not a surprise... I DO have Cache+Archive selected. I created an Elev...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    Sorry. Wallis Island was a momentary lapse on my part. I'm working on Wallops Island, in Virginia, vic 39N 75W. The tile reference I provided would show you the elv tile I'm looking to replace -- and one look at it explains why. I was unaware that the V2 information invalidated the main...

    Project Orbiter texture tree tools (OT3)

    Wallops Island I will certainly be taking a look at this -- but I was given to understand that there were copyright issues with Google Maps. Besides, this is the start point for the development of a new base creation process. It isn't just about Wallops. I have data -- beautiful data -- but...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    Color, huh? Okay... Thank you for pointing out the color issue. Apparently, Gimp automatically creates RGBA unless you tell it not to. I was unaware. I discovered where the settings were and corrected the problem, and am now getting reasonable results. I will take your recommendation for...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    Tile splitter issues My thanks for your response. Is there any way to avoid automatic change to color? I'm providing a greyscale elevation map and it's outputting color. And again, weirdly, if I provide a 16-bit file, I don't get the current tile, I get the one in the top left corner of the...

    2016 bases Sorry about the delay -- I didn't even know you responded. Hopefully, the new forums will include notifications. No, I was just trying to use delivered bases and scenarios -- some of which look awful. At this point, I've picked a base -- Wallops Island -- and I'm trying to develop...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    More on the Tile Splitter I'm still hamstrung. I decided to use the big pngs as a map for higher levels (I think I finally began to understand that piece), so I shrank the png for the tile I'm trying to replace down to 259x259. All that seems to do is give me no time to uncheck the color and...

    New Release Elv Tile Splitter V2

    Okay, what am I doing wrong? I have a 16-bit grey-scale png map in size 16387 x 16387 that represents a tile at level 10, Band 18, Tile 37. It was created from a GeoTIFF map using Gimp. There is a tile at that location, but from the looks of it, it was altered in the delivered elevations and...
