Orbiter Screenshot Thread

Give me a day or two. Loru gave me an awesome mesh that looks even better.

I would like to get a copy of this also please,whenever you finish it garyw, it looks great.

Little teaser from my current project. If all the duct tape & chewing gum holds together, I plan to fly it to lunar orbit, EML2, & then back to Earth. Need to figure out what to do with a NTR engine returning to Earth at lunar reentry speeds

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Dump it into an aerocapture manuever, and then send it into a parking orbit. Reuse the engine through a refuelling. It's the clean way of doing it.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

Proposed building project. I think it'll make for a pretty decent research/maufacturing station for my VSA. Using Energia and the Energia-M to get it there. We'll see how it pans out.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

OK, I'm seeing a couple of Mir-2 modules (Solaris and Core), a pair of Transhabs, a Magnetic Astrophysics Lab, and a couple of other modules I don't recognize hanging of that 5-port node at the end of the Mir-2 Core. What are those?

 

[Interceptor]

PhantomCruiser,that's a really cool station,could you please give all the addons you used to make it,and maybe even the scenario please thanks.

I think that's a [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5956"]Comet[/ame], a [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5955"]Pulsar[/ame], and a Quest. The node is a Themis. I don't know what's at the opposite of MAL, though. I think it's a cupola, but I'm not sure.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

Pipcard wins a cookie! Yep, a cupola, but that particular node is a Themis

Here she is from the other side, passing over Hobart, Tasmania. An Artemis has been added to serve as an additional docking port for visiting vehicles (in this case would be Don's awesome Project Jason).

There's a pretty good sized laundry list of needed add-ons. Not already listed is the CMG found here [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5351"]CMG v2.0[/ame] (for it you also need ISS 3.2 [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3737"]International Space Station v.3.2[/ame] for the Z1 mesh).

Ah, I almost forgot the visiting CEV from francisdrake.
If you use the attached scenario; CSSC is in use as well, if you don't have it you may wind up with a CTD.

It's nice to see my modules getting use. :thumbup:

 

[Pipcard]

That station has a nice configuration.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

Thanks! I was wanting something versitile, but still very compact. I think it can be built with 2 Energia launches, maybe 3 Shuttles, and 6 Energia-M's. Launches to be from KSC, Polygon and CSCC.
If all goes well I could maybe post the mission pack at the 'hangar.
How sounds Syracuse as a station name? Home of Archimedes and all that history.

Did some Lunar Lithobraking after seeing a thread in the Tutorials/Challenges forum...turns out it is possible...at the cost of...losing a UMMU, destroying the hover engines and the landing gear of the DGIV.

The landing part, where i broke the landing gear and the hover engines:

The "Rough Part", where my crew sustains 7-11 G's for less than a second:

Recovery, along with crashing the flight computer:

And...finally, almost stopped (too lazy to took a picture of the HUD showing a speed of 0 kmph):

 

[4throck]

Isn't that Lithobraking a little too fast? ~5000km/h would make a nice crater. :thumbup:

At least in the real world. On Orbiters moon, the surface is smooth as a mirror, so you don't need to fear a small rock opening your spacecraft like a tin. :lol: But there are also some good news, if you crash on the moon with only 5000 km/h: There will be enough remains of you left to identify you and you don't contaminate half the planet.

The Russians did a "successful" lithobraking at 12000 km/h. You can do that, if your primary payload is aluminum strips with "Made in the USSR" printed on it. :lol:

 

[Donamy]

Soon to be a first.

Is that a BSOD? :blink: :compbash:

 

[SolarLiner]

Little experiment withe the default ISS:

Normal Maps got from the original diffuse texture, reflection set to:
0.76 - 0.76 - 0.76 - 1.00 for solar panels
1.00 - 1.00 - 1.00 - 0.50 for modules (fresnel 1.00 - 0.00)
0.76 - 0.76 - 0.76 - 0.40 for radiators

 

[4throck]

Normal maps look nice. I tried some for the runways and the feeling of speed is greatly enhanced.

That ISS looks great, although I'm not a big fan of those reflexions. :thumbup:

 

[Lars789852]

Looks more like a runtime error from some assembler programming language :huh:

 

[jangofett287]

Of course, we all know how to fix the flight computer don't we?

(Wow, that sentence looks so strange when written down, but when said it sounds fine.)
