The Bear has landed!

Amazing how it is possible to get the same Lunar Module attitude (roll left and pitched up about 8 degrees) when placing the "Falcon" of Apollo 15 at the precise landing coordinates in Orbiter. Start of the first surface EVA. (O2016Beta + D3D9Client + Apollo landing site addon and AMSO with modded textures/materials).

@FordPrefect No microtextures?

 

[FordPrefect]

Yes, disabled them for the time being, still trying to find a solution for only the lowest level texture (D3D9Moon_A.dds ) to render the shadows of its alpha channel onto my global moon texture.

Apollo 17. Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt at station 2 during their second EVA in the valley of Taurus-Littrow. The North Massif (right), Family mountain (left of center) and the slope of the South Massif (far left) can be seen in the distance. Nansen crater visible beyond the lunar rover. LRV high gain antenna pointed towards Earth

I would have thought that commenting out (double-slashes) the two not wanted lines in \Config\MicroTex.cfg would solve that...
Something like:

// BODY [<string> BodyName]
// NORMALS [<bool> 0-1]
// LEVEL [<int> 0-2] [<string> texture name] [<float> resolution pixels/meter]

BODY Moon
NORMALS 1
LEVEL 0 D3D9Moon_A.dds 42.0
// LEVEL 1 D3D9Moon_C2.dds 6.0
// LEVEL 2 D3D9Moon_C.dds 0.8

...

Although I haven't tested this.

Mind if I ask what add-on this LK is?

It's still WIP. There's an early beta of the N1 LV here.
But there's been a lot of progress (and changes) since then! Hopefully will have an update ready soon.

Thanks to Kuddel for helping with a new modified surface microtexture!

Last one (for today... ). LMP Schmitt and CDR Cernan (Apollo 17) heading back to their lunar rover after exploring station 2 during EVA-2 near Nansen crater at the foot of the South Massif. The shallow ridge rising beyond the rover belongs to the terrain of the Lee-Lincoln Scarp which is a prominent geological feature located at the western end of the Taurus-Littrow valley on the Moon. This low ridge or step, approximately 80 meters high, runs north-south and marks a relatively young, low-angle thrust fault formed by the contraction of the lunar crust. The land west of the fault was pushed up and over the eastern side as the Moon's surface contracted over time.
Looking North-north-east, in the distance the North Massif (left) and Sculptured Hills (right) are visible.

I really like this screenshot I just made. Orbiter 2024 looks amazing:

perhaps you should try Flight Simulator 2024
maybe it's just me but I like to ride my Orbiter... you know... in space

Yes, but we are in general more liberal here than in MSFS. We can go to air, but MSFS can't go into space.

The one thing about that is that some people (like me) have horridly underpowered GPUs (Iris Xe) and MSFS is notoriously intensive and requires a decent GPU. In OO2024, you get same bang for less buck.
