Orbiter Screenshot Thread

It looks decent.

... oh but it's a simulator ? I thought those were renders actually... :lol:

Nice shots !
Could you please tell what add-ons you're using ? (iss)
And which rendering system ?

BTW, je suis de Toulouse aussi

Wow thanks for the pics Penguin, Buran was one of the worst space program management failures ever. Such a nice ship sent to scrapyard . Only imagine it would still be there to relief the Space Shuttle...

Hello !,
Salut !,

I use ISSR v3.2 from Thorton and ISS A to Z to get all the modules, plus of course the (in)famous ^^ Vinka's spacecraft3.dll.

"Rendering system" is known as Jarmonik's Direct3D 9.0 External Graphic Client, I strongly recommend it as it boosts both performance and rendering quality (Atmospheric effects, Earthglow etc...).

Happy to see that a small "Orbiter colony" is developping in Toulouse, it makes sense as we have the luck to live in Europe's astronautics capital (Ariane Control Room is just a bit South of the city, in the CNES complex, near the Sciences & Technology University) ! :thumbup:

Anybody else jealous? Looking great though.

fftopic:You get the GSLV add-on to work with the D3D9 client? Mine crashes every time I tried to launch it (does not happen with the PSLV and GSLV Mk. III add-ons).

Is working stable with the latest D3D9 client. GSLV is standard set.

OK sorry it is the autopilot that is causing the add-on to crash at T-0. Well there's something called the UAP anyway..... :lol:

Every time I see your avatar it reminds me this video (it's in Russian, but what they're saying there is irrelevant):

Thanks, I'll try that one.

"Rendering system" is known as Jarmonik's Direct3D 9.0 External Graphic Client, I strongly recommend it as it boosts both performance and rendering quality (Atmospheric effects, Earthglow etc...).

I already use D3D9, I'll try to mess around with the settings.

That's right. How many Orbinauts do you think are around here ? I'm quite new

Not that many actually. SolarLiner, for sure. Now I wouldn't be surprised if there were "inactive" orbinauts from the area just watching the forums.

There usually seems to be a ratio of between 5-3 times as many inactive ones browsing the forums at any given time, although some are likely automated bots as opposed to actual humans.

First test launch of the OCTS booster for the Andromeda Space Program:

Gimballing code isnt quite finished yet, and the thrust was a tad high. The payload, um, didnt make it

More on this as I can find time to work on it.

Every time I see your avatar it reminds me this video (it's in Russian, but what they're saying there is irrelevant):

I read Cyrillic well enough to know that there are accelerations in on the order of 1 km/s^2 (~= 100 g) involved. Oof.

 

[PeterRoss]

I read Cyrillic well enough to know that there are accelerations in on the order of 1 km/s^2 (~= 100 g) involved. Oof.

I believe it was speed gauge, and hence it was displaying the velocity of 10 km/s. Of course it was acting like accelerometer, but it's just a kids cartoon after all. My 'yuck!' moment is when they're accelerating towards meteor field in order to evade it :lol:

 

[Linguofreak]

Yes, but the displayed velocity was changing on the order of 1 km/s every second, thus, accelerations on the order of 1 km/s^2.

You're right, I fugured it out too late

Hmm... Seems its really broken... We're stucked here for a moment...

(I suffered a "bouncing bug" during taxiing, that destroyed the gear and let me no other option that to hover. Also, I retracted the antenna a bit too late, so that poor DG-IV isn't going to make a reentry soon. Gravitesque). :facepalm:
