We have a slight problem at Wideawake International spaceport.

We have a slight problem at Wideawake International spaceport.

We are sitting here at the top of Mt. Ascension, soon to become the worlds largest active volcano...

 

[Sky Captain]

Wideawake International spaceport is in trouble.

The lovely new Island Three...a little too close to Earth, but a spectacular view.

That's pretty neat sky captain, Would be fun to add that to Iceland!

There is an addon made by artlav here: http://www.orbithangar.com/search_quick.php?text=volcanoes&submit.x=0&submit.y=0

Requires definition on the scenario file though.

Landing on Io with the "night lights" and the "volcanoes" on, was pretty spectacular.
Though, it kinda killed the frame rate of the PC i tried it on last time, about 3 years ago.

 

[N_Molson]

Well, this landing could have been better !! But I saved my life after all (eject is not for a crash-landing veteran like me !)

 

[Bloodworth]

Lol, Any landing you can walk away from

How the bloody hell did you do that?!?

Answer below, or above if you think about it.

I did it a bit differently. I placed default DG on ground below the volcano, then with Universal cargo deck attached a srb from model rockets addon to DG, raised it nearly to the top of volcano (it is just below the summit) and with UCD rotate function rotated the srb so the nozzle was pointing up. In srb's ini file I ramped up smoke output and burn time, launched the scenario, fired it up and we have a volcano!!!

Now I will try to do the same with Artlav's Volcano Module.

Phobos can be viewed from Mars surface, so I thought to run Orbiter and take some shots.
With a FoV of 10-20 degrees you can see it and it's pretty nice.
Here some screens where you can see Phobos rising and vanishing.

Wow, never would have guessed that one mate!:thumbup:

Taking my Shelby GT500 for a spin around the Cape, while the Arrow is being loaded.

Universal Super-Cars and Gargo for Orbiter (USCGO)

Comming Soon.

What a lovely dilemma: Which one would you take? The Cobra or the Ferrari?

My first semi-sucessful Shuttle mission:

[LOGO COMING SOON]

Launching Hubble with the ET in the background:

Semi-re-entry:

I used RCS to abort re-entry and hope to keep in in a 105km orbit until it reaches Canaveral again. I managed to get around 120km alt and decend rapidly over southern Africa (note the sunrise):

After re-entering and asending 8 times, I ran out of RCS and had to boost the shuttle into orbit manualy. Surprisingly, I managed to get to 90km with only Mach 3 speed. I had to ditch in the Indian Ocean because I didn't have enough speed to reach "orbit".

Sucessful enough...

Nova 8L, 7S & 4S.

Whoa !! Enough payload capacity to build an entire space station !
