Watching your progress with great appreciation! I hope to be back with you by the end of the month.

We're still struggling with the pad height issue in updating the Moonbase Alpha add-on. With this Texture/Moon/MBA Flt file ELLIPSE 2520 -9.3532700 51.6366600 40000 40000 0 0 ELLIPSE 2520 -9.3206650 51.5887410 40000 40000 0 0 ELLIPSE 2520 -9.3151680 51.6095050 40000 40000 0 0 ELLIPSE 2520...

Catacombs is a great resource. Gattispilot and I used it extensively when building the Moonbase Alpha addon. The Eagle Transporter Forum was another website devoted to Space 1999 and other Gerry Anderson programs. Unfortunately, that site has gone dark. The show hedged quite a bit on their...

No, the interior shape of the cockpit viewports in the original show was supposed to be slightly different from their external appearance. According to the show, they were actually monitors. We're modeling them as windows though. https://catacombs.space1999.net/main/cguide/umeaglescale.html

Hey Notebook! So, you think Singapore will test Red Bull’s dominance?

I don’t believe I was crying wolf.

It was mirror 2 that I used yesterday. Thanks to you all for getting on top of it!

If this is a real threat we need to at least warn the community. Also, if the Forum's download page links to those mirrors there needs to be a secure way for folks to download the necessary packages.

I'm returning to the Orbiter community after a few years off. Yesterday I went to Martin's site to download the 160628 core package and high resolution textures. Clicking on the download mirror triggered this fake error message...

It's still broken.

Well, it sure does look like the 2022 redesign has resulted in closer following which is leading to real wheel to wheel racing. It was in evidence up and down the grid. The Alpine on Alpine and Red Bull - Ferrari battles were great. It seemed like much of the coverage looked at overtakes rather...

Well, there’s been a changing of the guard. Red Bull, Ferrari, Alpha Tauri, Alph Romeo, and Haas appear to be in ascendance. Aston Martin, McLaren, Alpine, and Williams, not so much. Mercedes clawed themselves to the within the top 3. It remains to be seen if their R & D can keep them there. The...

Agreed!
