[HAL9001]

if you have a good spacesuit...
if not - well there are 461°C at thesurface and nine times earth pressure.:facepalm:

but in a DGIV Venus IS a beautiful place to go.

another beautiful screenshot from hell - er Venus.:rofl:

Whats that strange glow in the atmosphere over the horizon there?

 

[HAL9001]

maybe an Add-On? I don't know, too, for me Venus just is so. but even before my first flight to Venus I had downloaded so manyAdd-Ons, that there could be a special-venus-atmosphere-AddOn wich I just forgot.:rofl:

It looks like you have this installed: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2379"]Orbiter Atmospheric Visual Enhancement V3[/ame]

It changes the atmosphere on all planets I believe, even though it's for Earth. At least I noticed it affected Mars atmosphere in v2006-P1 when I used to have it installed. Haven't tried it with 2010, but I expect it will be the same.

Some of the Earth atmosphere addons make Venus's turn blue like that...I think. I haven't downloaded one in so long.

Edit: Ninja'd (and confirmed) by the Ninjadmin! :ninja:

nine times earth pressure.

~93 times Earth's pressure. 9 times would be easy in comparison...

I just download it now, to test if anything changes.

Saying "Goodbye" to the ISS...

 

[Thundersnook]

Very nice shot! :thumbup:

 

[theflyingfish]

Took off strait up from Cape Canaveral using a DG-Booster. In the HUD, you can see that my current altitude is about 19M, and the MFD says that my Apa is around 24M.

 

[N_Molson]

Earth dead ahead !

Correct your trajectory, or the reentry is going to hurt :lol:


Gently gliding on the thermosphere at 200km of altitude, waiting for the landing window :

... and finally back home :

and anOTHER nice screenshot at a gas-planet with nice atmospheric haze

and anOTHER nice screenshot at a gas-planet with nice atmospheric haze in the background, even if it's very small in this one:

Orbiting Uranus near to the ring with Neon-paint

 

[IgnoreThisBarrel]

Ah, Uranus is an under-appreciated planet. Presumably because it's so featureless and only one color. However I under-apreciate it on purpose because reentry in a DGIV is so hard >_< The atmosphere begins at 1M and you burn up long before you can even see the atmosphere around your ship.

 

[HAL9001]

why reentry?
brake at zero-speed and than land.
even if it coasts much fuel it is a good way to "reenter" Uranus' Atmosphere.
:rofl:

Something more from Saturn:

Saturns shadow looks cool on the Saturn-rings

beautiful reentry into Saturns atmospherewith Neon Skin. A perfect moment-shot.:camera:

I seem to be totally failing any attempts at attaching a screenshot. Are the instructions from the first page of the thread no longer valid?

You need photos in your gallery before you can attach them.

 

[HAL9001]

you can upload them in your albums, like I do it, too.

 

[henrik]

Yes, I did those steps and it shows up when I click the image icon on the reply-area. But when I click on the image itself, nothing happens. I've tried it on three different machines and with several browsers.

henrik, you have no pictures in your album to attach yet. On the menu bar go to User CP|My Albums, add an album, upload some pictures to it and then follow the instructions in the first post.
