USMC XR5 docking with modified Atlantis on a mysterious mission along the backside of the moon.

 

[Carmen A]

A group of XR2 Ravenstars landed (docked) on the flight deck of the EAS Cortez.

*Note* Additional docking positions will be available in an upcoming release of the beta.

Where can I get that ship

The Cortez Explorer Class vessel in LEO.

Does it come with solar sails ? Ones that look like these?

But doesn't have the added docks in the config. If you want them located as they were in that screenshot, just add these lines to the config:

Ah, crap... did I brought you on an idea from my last post here? :lol:

 

[Stevodoran]

I done something to Jupiter:

And some other planet:

 

[Pipcard]

I was watching (G1) Transformers and thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if the XR2 looked like Starscream?" Then I made this:

If you can help me on how to tint the windows orange and save it so it is 2 MB (which compressor?) instead of 20 MB, I will upload this on Orbithangar.

EDIT: Now with Starscream (front), Thundercracker (upper right in blue), and Skywarp (upper left in black)

I already saved the textures as a dds, but can I save it again compressed?

What are you guys using to build space stations and bases?

 

[theflyingfish]

Me using topper0710's AA-Missile addon.

I couldn't resist firing missiles, then switching focus and trying to evade them.

The only vessel I had agile enough was a DG-S with Gimbal Mod.

Topper's addon can be found [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3324"]here[/ame]. Artlav's Gimbal Mod can be found [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2775"]here[/ame].

Look at how realistic orbiter is.

Apollo didn't have full shadows:

But orbiter does:

 

[hribek]

The white dot in the NASA image is not the sun. I don't think any Apollo was on the Moon with sun so close to the horizon as you show in the Orbiter screenshot.

That's right. The dot is a visual artifact on the image. You can see the halo of the sun above it. The actual sun angle was around 25-30° as this was thought to be the best angle for highlighting the landing site and making shadows from boulders and craters stand out better.

Yeh i should have made the sun higher. Thanks for correcting my mistake :thumbup:

Here is me just after making it to the moon a rendezvousing with Luna-OB1 with my new favorite skin made by Pyromaniac605.

Panorama's are awesome :thumbup:

Edit:
Didn't want to double-post, but i made a new Panorama from the roof of the VAB at Wideawake. There's also a XR2 in the skies overhead.
