Orbiter Screenshot Thread

[Izack]

Milady recently acquired a private spaceplane of her own (she is very wealthy, yes).

Looks good, though I think the outboard wing segments need some attention.
:hail: Leane.

 

[Axertan]

Time for some Velcro Rockets craziness.
I got this idea from 'Shuttle to the Moon' thread, and decided to give it a go.

Yes, that is a Saturn V S-1C stage, augumented by 4 S-1C's acting as boosters.
Second stage is another Saturn V S-1C stage, with the Shuttle orbiter with full ET on top.
This stack has enough delta-V to reach near moon orbit, but I realized that it does not have enough dV to brake back into LEO for the Shuttle to reenter safely.
Well, like if stacking S-1C's wasn't crazy enough. :lol:

ESA-Russia joint Mars mission: starting ground operations.

After a day and night securing the MLTV, Yelena Serova becomes first human on the surface of Mars.

Sunset at Mangala Station

First rover expedition.

Approaching first rendezvous point.

Three rendering tests (camera and object position is the same on all three pics):

Raytracing time (high, but not best-possible quality):
* Atlantis: 5m
* ISS: 17m
* XR5: 25m

(XR5 texture is screwed up due to, as it seems, missing uv coordinates on some vertices)

 

[Izack]

Atlantis isn't showing right either.

could you upload the scenario?

 

[Wonderer]

For Sputnik 2 try [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4419"]R-7 Early Missions[/ame]. It is the best by far :thumbup:

 

[Pinguinboy]

Wash: (Off an alarm sounding from the console) "Closing in."
Zoe: "Planet's coming up a mite fast."
Wash: "That's just cause I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all."
Mal: "Well, that happens, let me know."

(Firefly in orbit around Mare Infinitus.)

http://www.orbiterfrancophone.com/index.php?disp=addons, Kourou CSG, Ariane, ATV2, LTV.

http://orbiter.dansteph.com/index.php?disp=d, UMMU crew, rover and some UGCO elements.

And Mangala Vallis scenery, I modeled it for orbiter 2005 and never released, i'm testing it again to see how to finish it.

 

[Wishbone]

HR_Oso, the scenery would be very, very welcome. There are 39 shots at or near Mangala at HiRISE (http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/results.php?keyword=Mangala&order=release_date&submit=Search), but AFAIR no DTMs from stereophotography.

add boosters to the shuttle, too, maybe than it works...

 

[Axertan]

could you upload the scenario?

Sure, I'll upload it as attachment.
Note: I had trouble with the rocket orientation upon the LRB's separation (spinning fast). You may have to use scenario editor's 'kill angular velocity' function, if that happens.
STTM_Readme.txt has requirements and more notes.

Cool SpaceEngine shots...











SpaceEngine is a really nice program. Though it is buggy, and will never replace Orbiter, it has a niche. (That niche is somewhere between Orbiter, Celestia, and Universe Sandbox.)

Got a nice view of mars from hubble:

Just messing about with PAINT.NET

Finally decided to make my own little orbiting place called home

In daylight, starting to pass over North America's west coast

During night against the sky. Woo, beacons!

 

[MeDiCS]

Got that little texture problem fixed:
