Venera 9 in Orbiter 2016!
The lens-flare is completely inaccurate, but it looks cool :thumbup:
Previously, launches were broken in Orbiter 2016. We have found some working touchdown points for the Saturn V and should reach orbit no problem as of now. Flying an entire mission is now possible in Orbiter 2016.
Note that we however are still working on finding working touchdown points for the Saturn 1B (Apollo 7).
Hi Jalex, I've been working on touchdown points for a while and I think I've found a couple of formulas that can be used and works fine. Let me know if you need any help on that.
Once I've tested the final processing pipeline it will probably have to run for a couple of weeks to generate the global map. I hope it's going to be worth it ...
If the result looks anywhere near to those screenshots, then I'd say yes, it's gonna be worth it. I have tried to describe the two posted screenshots without using expletives, and failed miserably.
Do you have the necessary hardware freely available? Donation efforts for orbiter don't make much sense in most cases, but a few guys putting some money together to rent an amazon EC2 server for a month or two so you don't have to block your own hardware with such a process would sound like a sensible thing.
And it wouldn't be trivial to partition the data into local chunks.
I've got about 1.5TB of HRSC source data at the moment
Holy... How large is that final texture archive going to be? :blink:
