OHM SSME Exhaust Hi-Res Texture Replacement (exhaust_atsme.dds)

[OrbitHangar]

Author: vsfx

This hi-res 1024x1024 texture was created from scratch from night launch shots of the Space Shuttle to improve on the default texture, which I had previously edited and put on O-H. Also used by many other add-ons.

Not terrible, but I think your first attempt was a bit closer, LOX/LH2 is a bit more transparent exhaust than that.

Updated just now. I reduced the opacity to make it more transparent overall but kept the shock diamonds nice and bright.

Wow, that does look good! I'm downloading this for my installs; Shuttle-D launch on Delta IV Heavy will look much better with the new texture.

I give this a 9/10, good work :thumbup:
