"During voting and the performances, the police cybersecurity department blocked several cyber attacks on network infrastructure by the "Killnet" hacker group and its affiliate "Legion", police said."...

I really liked the UK song, but Ukraine was also nice. It's a good song and they performed well, so it's deserved I think. There was a political message at the end of the performance. Under normal circumstances that might get them disqualified. Especially if someone complained about it...

Here's the second "figure": Looks really really cool!

The UK entry is good (and space themed) but I didn't like the voice during the rehearsals... I'm a rock / metal guy, and it's good to see some harder songs this year. It will be entertaining (y) There's an odd performance from Servia involving washing hands :ROFLMAO: , and San Marino has a...

Great news, Venus is overlooked but has great scientific potential. (y) Some more details from the article: » December 2024 launch window » orbital maneuvers during 2025, minimum propellant trajectory » next similar window in 2031 Instruments are not clear (radar ?, IR/UV imager ?), but...

It's worth implementing those differences, otherwise the missions feel the same ....

A full Gemini would be complex, but a scaled-down version implementing just propulsion systems, EVA, docking radar + Agena might be manageable. You can use existing MFDs to do much of the flight computer's work....

Didn't notice any overwrites (I think) but indeed it does use the same folders and that's confusing. The same for scenarios: yours are "ProjectMercury", the other ones "Project Mercury" You should really rename all folders. I'd suggest a simple naming convention, adding your initials: -...

Sure, it looks great most of the time ;) I can try to tweak it using the D3D9 debugger, no worries. I guess you succeeded because I instinctively switched to the external view expecting the rocket sound there. So it might be a simple issue of changing sound volumes depending on the view! (y)

Brilliant meshes, really like the rockets with all those small details. The Redstone is a bit too smooth/reflective from certain angles, but that's nitpicking ;) I found some minor issues testing Mercury-Redstone: » Redstone rocket has no sound, other sounds play normally » Wild gyrations while...

I guess one would need to keep the same number of groups for consistency, but yes, it should work.

:salute:

For a simple fix, just paint out the letters using that background bluish pink. It will make it a flat area. ;)

That's just a regular texture loaded as a normal map.... Here's a good explanation about normal maps: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StandardShaderMaterialParameterNormalMap.html

A good way to reach out to the community might be to place a link to Google Forms on all orbiter sites. The form could be very simple, with just a few questions to know how the sim is used (version, how much time spent per week, what type of flights, what add-ons). It could be a nice...

Well, I defended backward compatibility (with Orbiter 2010), but people don't seem to be interested... So I thought about moving forward and what would make me go back to 3D modeling for Orbiter (and eventually new addons). Working with standard game development tools/formats is a necessity. I...

It would be good to adopt a more standard mesh format, like FBX. It's supported by Blender (so we'd have an open-source 3D editor) and handles animations... We might even use it to import camera, thruster and light placements, and perhaps collision blocks later on. If the goal is really to...

Tiles for the top of Malapert Mountain, a ridge on Malapert crater's edge. The peak of this ridge lies almost exactly along 0° longitude, and it has the unusual attribute of lying within sight of both the Earth and the crater Shackleton at the south pole. It is the site of proposed future...

Looks very nice. It's a nice day to fly in Orbiter ;)
