Orbiter Screenshot Thread

Successful landing at the Kent airfield (by @misha.physics) after an hypersonic transatlantic flight.

Took off from KSC SLF something like 3 hours earlier, went up to 37,500 m, then stabilized at M 6.5 with the SCRAM engines. Had to do some S turns over the Greater London Area, but that was well over 20,000 meters, no danger for civilian aviation!

How did you get Orbiter to look that good?
Editing each material in D3D9 graphic control, setting default shader to metalness PBR and editing smoothness / metalness value

I also use multiple reshade shaders: "Ambiant light" and "Magic HDR".
That's what I do use constantly when using Orbiter, however when I make screenshot I sometimes play with more shaders you can see it in my gallery : https://www.orbiter-forum.com/members/xionx.23274/#xfmgMedia
 
Were can I reshade shaders?
 
Has anyone ever done this? Formation flying in Orbiter using the docking MFD to get velocity information.
(Don't mind the retro doors being open and RCS in linar mode, it was just easier to adjust velocity like this).

By the way, this brings something new into Orbiter. Looks amazing. It would be interesting to see at Space Shuttle from such the view.

I had a lot of fun doing it, thanks.
I originally started this because I got a new joystick and wanted to do some piloting lol, it. I took a random TAEM scenario and flew around the space shuttle, I originally wanted to do a full flight with TAEM to the final approach but I don't know how to fly the space shuttle, if someone has a playback of that I would love to play around with it.

It seems like the space shuttle has so much more drag than the delta glider, I flew with very low attack angle

edit : just realized SpaceShuttle ultra LFMI TAEM scenario has full autopilot, which is nice however I do not have the scenery of the airport.
 
@xionx, please tell us how do you conrol two vessels at the same time? And what is?:
I do not I just do it one at the time.
First I record a scenario, then I open the playback of that recording, pause it and use the scenario editor to add a second aircraft. Here I just lazily copy the state vector of the other aircraft and eyeball the rotation, then I hit play, slow down a little and that's it.
Space shuttle ultra LFMI TAEM is just a testing scenario of the theoretical emergency landing at Istres-Le Tubé (LFMI) air base. Like it's there by default if you install SSU
