Oopps!! Where are my domes?:facepalm:

 

[Pipcard]

Sorry, but I have no idea why they aren't there.

 

[NukeET]

Sometimes in my own rush to get a scenario running, I forget to include in the scenario the domes (as vessels).

pg. 5 from the manual:

In order to animate the domes and locks, they are now vessels. As
such, their definitions do not appear in the base configuration file, but
in the scenario file. To include the full working base in other scenarios,
a portion of the included scenario file (Introduction to the new Niven)
WILL have to be copied and pasted into the scenario file of your choice.
This now includes the cargo landing beacon on Pad 10 for the Arrow
Freighter.
Copy everything from the included scenario between the following statements:
BEGIN_SHIPS
.....
END_SHIPS
See Appendix for the required scenario data block.

Don't ask - how i do that (not editor)...

Any chance that you can stretch the tanks and use the new engine layouts & technical parameters for the rocket? :tiphat:

 

[Kyle]

If by engine layout you mean the F9 1.1 engine arrangement, I believe he did that judging by the picture.

The spacex rocket is Glider's addon. So the technical stuff would be upto him.

[Tycho]

Apollo 20, Mission to Tycho, July 1974

The projectile was still advancing, and this movement did not subside. Circles, craters, and uprooted mountains succeeded each other incessantly. No more plains; no more seas. A never ending Switzerland and Norway. And lastly, in the center of this region of crevasses, the most splendid mountain on the lunar disc, the dazzling Tycho, in which posterity will ever preserve the name of the illustrious Danish astronomer.

In observing the full moon in a cloudless sky no one has failed to remark this brilliant point of the southern hemisphere. Michel Ardan used every metaphor that his imagination could supply to designate it by. To him this Tycho was a focus of light, a center of irradiation, a crater vomiting rays. It was the tire of a brilliant wheel, an asteria enclosing the disc with its silver tentacles, an enormous eye filled with flames, a glory carved for Pluto's head, a star launched by the Creator's hand, and crushed against the face of the moon!

-- Jules Verne, Around the Moon, 1873

One might imagine Jules Verne would have enjoyed Orbiter very much.

My latest flight, a very scientifically and technologically ambitious and rather dangerous expedition to the floor of Tycho crater in the southern hemisphere of the Moon, Apollo 20, in July 1974. Following are a few highlights from the trip.

First, the U.S. flag as seen from LMP Jack Lousma's window inside the Lunar Module Jules Verne at Tycho base.

The Lunar Module ascent stage separates from the descent stage towards rendezvous with CMP Paul Weitz in lunar orbit.



The CSM/LM ascent stage stack in lunar orbit high above Tycho crater after orbital rendezvous.



Tycho base with the remnants of the Apollo 20 mission, namely the LM descent stage, appearing much the same as it will in a thousand years.

And lastly, a panorama of Tycho base on the floor of Tycho crater taken by LMP Jack Lousma. Visible is the massive crater wall, boulders strewn about the rough crater floor, the LM Jules Verne, CDR Stu Roosa at the LRV, the ALSEP site in the distance, and the U.S. flag. (Click bar for larger view)

Sweet! Orbiter is such a niche topic that I never thought I'd get 1 subscriber, let alone 1,000.

 

[Proximus]

Congrats Blixel, here's to the next thousand

 

[PhantomCruiser]

True that! You're a good stick, and you explain yourself pretty well. That equals some good quality tutorials worth watching (several times).

I've been testing TriDef 3D for recording games in 3D. I'm also in the process of testing a way to edit videos in 3D (my next video is a test render of different space shuttle shots in Orbiter, in 3D).
But I wanted to play Orbiter in 3D, and I took some pics of my mission to the Moon in XR2. I used the MTBS 3D Gallery to if you have a 3D monitor or simply some anaglyph red/cyan glasses, click on the images. Else, they are cross-eyed.










I know that the NVIDIA 3D Vision is implemented in D3D9, but nVidia just wants it only compatible with their products, and doesn't allow Side-by-Side 3D rendering methods, or just simply writing 3D screenshots.

Thanks for that! That's what I had in mind when I did that mesh. I'm really happy that others are having fun with it!

Absolutely. And it makes for a spectacular powered descent approach as the LM flies over the crater wall towards the floor. Looks like one of the artist's drawings in the original Apollo press kits. :thumbup:

You are doing an awesome job and there are probably plenty Orbinauts which need help in a lot of topics. And you are like... the Bob Ross of Orbiter! :lol:

"We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents."

Joking apart, keep up the awesome work! I learned very much because of your videos.
