Awesome video!


Thanks!

Thanks, no problem. I just wish Orbiter simulated comets with full blow particle effects. That'd make for some sweet exploring.

Agreed.

Could it not be done in an Add-on in the same way that exhaust textures can be changed via addons (not sure how far into the Direct3D layer you can get via the orbiter APIs to start spawning single-point-polys)
