I've wrote a converter to orbiter scenario: TLE Scenario Generator For maximum accuracy the scenario's date needs to be set to the TLE's epoch, given how Orbiter interpolates orbital data.

Hm. I'll dig a bit on how Mars clouds are formed, maybe I could make a "guided Perlin generation", because plain old Perlin for clouds isn't the best, especially on Mars...

Any place we could get a Mars cloud map? I haven't seen any resource coming close to that.

I've been looking at making a directional shadow buffer, but I haven't been able to figure out how to render a depth pass, and how to do so from a different viewpoint (i.e. orthogonal from the sun to the vessel). I'd have guessed the depth pass from the camera would have been done already as...

The first video thumbnail - "What an anniversary gift I got! More worked being forced to do! Yay!"

I laughed when I saw that on reddit. This is some sort of weird genius... CTRL+C - CTRL+V is considered an accessibility function. Using Cortana is considered an accessibility function. They should have gone as far as using the mouse to be considered an accessibility function (you can navigate...

I can understand it more or less, so I guess it's very dumbed down :lol: One thing I didn't understand though, with plsplit64. It is restricted to splitting an entire planet at once or can it split local imagery as well? Also a more theoretical question about the first 3 levels: are they all...

I had a project originally for Orbiter 2010 that would take a high res satellite or aerial image, indicate the bound coordinates and output the correct tiles in DDS format ready to be put into Orbiter. I had stopped getting a Orbiter 2010 version to work and started shifting towards getting a...

Can I get some clarification on how the planetary textures could be modified by addons? Like in the case of the Ascension Island base, there was with Orbiter 2010 custom textures and elevation meshes that added to the base's visuals. How can the Ascension Island, given a hypothetical Orbiter...

One of my most reccuring questions: is math real?

I was guessing a Github page would be perfect - even if we don't migrate the code, the repo can serve as a place to drop the releases. The integrated API means we can link the latest version. Here it is, with generic media and text placeholders.

Happy Anniversary Update, Windows 10! (also, what the :censored: I thought Java was sandboxed)

Io should work as it has an atmosphere... But I think I know where the problem lies. I'll try to correct it but I'm away currently, so expect slower update for the next week or two. I'll try to get a version working with RC2 too. And maybe even build the default version for it if it hasn't...

These two videos got me seriously thinking about using a password manager. KeePass seems like a good, open-source one, but the only one thing that bothers me is that: I have an Android phone, a laptop running ubuntu dual booted with Windows, and my gaming PC on Windows plus Ubuntu on dual boot...

Try it on other bodies without an atmosphere (ie. Mercury, or Jupiter's moon Europa). Does the same happen? I think I know why this is.

Try the build jarmonik just posted. Does this build work without GDI Compatibility mode?

Position without GPS is going to be hard, but velocity using gyroscopes is relatively easy. I don't know if there is an app for that though. Welcome to the Android world!

I've been thinking about that, and I see it two ways: - Either "disabling post-process" means disabling the bloom, lens flare and color correction effects, but keeping the tonemapping - Or with disabling post-processing we get the old behavior, but that means having conditional statements...

Sun shining through buildings is a known issue, I have to try and find a good way to test for light obstruction... For the framerate it is also expected, post-processing effects cost quite a bit on the GPU and the fact that you're having a 4k screen to render to makes it that much greater in...

Okay, so the problem was that I was having two working copies of the code, and I published an older, definitely not for-release version... This one should look and feel and be better now.
