The new cable car to Germanys highest mountain opened yesterday after three years of construction, this time with a few more records compared to the previous one at the Elbsee. The old one already had the record for the biggest altitude difference, this one now also adds the highest steel mast along the way and the biggest distance spanned by wires between two masts.

We might not be able to build airports on flat ground, but this...

Nicely made promo, helps when you have lots of light and shiny things to bounce it off. And mountains.

Apollo 13 short movie

To watch and have fun with a little apollo 13 movie. At first, I would like to thank the ACSoft guys for make the AMSO (recorded with it), and Dr. Schweiger for make the Orbiter.

I was pretty newbie at the time of the recording, so, sorry for the imperfections.
Apollo13 - OrbiterX Movie:

Have fun!
(and merry christmas)

Nice movie, it shows a forward facing camera view of the S-IC staging, which I had never seen, and also the (compared with Apollo 4) rare aft facing view.
Too bad it lacks the quality to show the SLA delamination:

And now for something completely different...

Indeed, a few "new" images on the Apollo 6 footage.
It's great that these archives are being made available.

The quality of the copies is low, but it's good enough to assemble the footage into something like this:

If you get motion sickness or claustrophobic you may want to skip some bits of this video when he goes in to the wing.

TERRAN Wraith gameplay

Hello orbiternauts.
We have here a brief gameplay of the TERRAN Wraith add-on. The sound is in Portuguese, but for most of you, it can be fun watching the A.I. fighters flying:

...the battleship turned test vessel might be something worth creating for Orbiter.
