Just a teaser of what I'm working on:

Big thanks to BrianJ for his help with Gmax.

SWEET !

Recently did dgatsoulis's 2017 EVME sling with the Dragon Cargo and the Falcon Heavy. (https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=30508 post #7)

Made for some pretty great views.

Big thanks to BrianJ for his help with Gmax.

You didn't seem to need much help to get some great results!
Donamy's HST model is looking very nice
I will find the time to recompile HST-Ex for Orbiter2016 soon.


Nice to see the Cargo Dragon (also Don's!) beyond it's usual LEO setting.


Thanks,
BrianJ

Welcome home Challenger !

How come Challenger has a wing glove? I thought only Columbia had it?

 

[kuddel]

[...]wing glove[...]

Wing glove? What exactly do you mean by that?
I don't recognize having heard that term before, so please enlighten us.

On a quick look, that Orbiter shown there pretty much looks like OV-099:
No meatball logo, no drag-chute container,..

...Ah! Now I see what "wing glove" could be! That black part on the upper wing side extending from the wings leading edge to almost midbody!
Hmm, yes, that's not how I remember OV-099

 

[gattispilot]

I think he is referring to the front of the wing?

 

[kuddel]

Yeah that's what he meant (I figured it out just seconds after I initially posted,...as usual :facepalm: )
For reference, the "unique black areas on wings" on Columbia.

Another view:

Ah yes, didn't realize that difference.
What's your Space Shuttle mod ? Is that ShuttleFleet ? If so, are you able to make it work with O2016 ? When I launch one, the Shuttle just fall to the ground right when I press NUMPAD(+). It doesn't stay attached for 3 seconds before release like in O2010.

Anyways, new post new screenshots
Here's Challenger deploying the default LDEF during STS-41-C on April 6th, 1984 !
Managed to get it at the correct altitudes: 138x291nm by 28.5° at launch.
(Is there another one with a better 3D model and textures ?)

Have a good week-end !

Haha I love it !

Not sf. I used the Atlantis and made changes. If you want to test it let me know

 

[Snax]

EN ROUTE TO ISS !
If you open it to fullscreen, you can see the launch in the background

For those who play Arma 3 should recognize the islands of Altis and Stratis above the left wing

 

[1987VCRProductions]

Did some atmospheric flying for a change.

Flew the final Approach and Landing Free Flight of Enterprise and did a complementary fly over with SCA 905.

Then I looped back around and landed 905 on Rogers Dry Lake.

It's been a long time since I've done a landing in a traditional aircraft and I wanted to know if I could still do it properly.
