Orbiter Screenshot Thread

That should be the next step IMHO.

What should?

Well here are two pics of my science fair project test. It shows the Maximum G count during a ballistic reentry test.

Orbiter... for a science fair project? Never thought of that.

When I saw simulations under Computer Science on the form, I immediately thought of Orbiter :lol:

What should?

A lunar station.

Ascending to orbit. Next stop, the Moon!!

I couldn't resist another one... A peoples-eye view. I had to move the spotlights with scenario editor, but the results are certainly appealing (I think so anyway).

Spotlights by BrianJ; Lighting MFD by Wishbone; LC-250 by Kultch, and hopefully soon the Energia-M by Me! (finishing scenarios and publications).

So a bit more work with the VAB, Added a metal framework 'crane' system and fixed up the Neptune with it's interstage just to keep TNeo happy :lol:

There is no fairing on the Neptune rocket yet as the payload needs to be installed.

I must thank Woo482 for all his help with getting an interior added to the Ascension island VAB and for assisting with editing the metal framework mesh. :thumbup:

Well, nothing really new on the visuals but I felt I had to post this after the two above pics :lol:



I should rotate the fairing, so that the labels face the cameras. That's the point.

About the series of numbers in the lower left of the screens :

The first is the safety factor roll. Let's say I set 85 in the scenario file, here I got a 30. Here I'm safe because 30 < 85. The subsequent numbers are other rolls to determine what type of failure will happen, and when. Of course, you won't see those in the final product. So if you don't set 100 of reliability, there always will be a doubt on the success of the mission until the payload is correctly separated (last possible failure is negative payload separation.

Dodgy Reasoning

I've decided to resurrect the ZTC-TLC project, and am currently exploring various missions and fuel requirements.

The Tortoise is going to get a lamprey-strap on assembly to make landing and take-off from the Moon possible.

Meanwhile, a postcard from one of the less frequented destinations on the Moon.

Over Aitken's Basin heading into a Lunar sunrise.

A little adventure of mine, though I managed to get both to the Moon with an N-1 for each (and some cheating ) wasn't able to make it back ('Cause I don't know how to, and UAP won't do that :lol

I was planning a trip to the Moon with that (Gorizont 1)...looks like you beat me to it. :beathead:

I guess I win this space race

 

[Chub777]

I guess I win this space race

Not so fast:

EDIT:

Lunar orbit established. I had to cheat with the fuel for TLI. I ran out of fuel on the Gorizont during orbit circulisation:

This is a great addon. :thumbup:

Unknown Orbit

Can anyone find out what kind of orbit This is? i have had no luck

Orbital formation flying!

(I used the scenario editor to dock the XR2 with the XR5. Then I undocked, and used the RCS to get into this formation.)

LTMFD will, though!

An Alternate ISS

Mir and the Skylab-B are joined in orbit to create the first International Space Station in 1997. Part of an alternate history series that I have been working on along with the newest shuttle fleet.
