    News 3D printing news.

    Jeez, these guys offered me a job of structural engineer back in March 2018. But they behaved very strange, could tell me specifically my responsibilities, etc, so I've refused em after all. So after almost a year, still the same ol video and bunch of marketing BS there. :shrug: But the concept...

    Problem White Tiles

    Yeah, you can simply reinstall earth hires textures and mesh and see if it helps. If doesnt, then try to install a clean copy of Orbiter, earth hi res textures and install NASSP manually excluding its earth tiles/textures

    Problem White Tiles

    Hmm, is that NASSP addon installed on Orbter 2016? Stay to be corrected, but perhaps NASSP adds new tiles at KSC which conflict with 2016 earth terrain & textures.. So try to uninstall this one and install it again without those tiles
