Definitively a holy shrine of the Probe ! :hailprobe:

Successful landing at the Kent airfield (by @misha.physics) after an hypersonic transatlantic flight. Took off from KSC SLF something like 3 hours earlier, went up to 37,500 m, then stabilized at M 6.5 with the SCRAM engines. Had to do some S turns over the Greater London Area, but that was...

Looks like we can forget about March ?

Try 'cubic interpolation'.

Planned hold at T-90s. Resuming. Vehicle on internal power. Holding at T-33s as planned. Looks like we're good for this WDR ✅ Update : spoke a bit too soon. Turned out there was a 'voltage anomaly with flight avionics' right on the planned hold. 'voltage anomaly with flight avionics' was...

Wasn't long, hold has been lifted. Resuming countdown. Access arm retracted.

HOLD at T-10:00. Reason unknown yet. Update, engines 'too cold' ?

It doesn't work that way. Be sure to read the documentation that comes with the plugin. The mesh is generated when you click 'Build Mesh' here. You really get used to it :

Ave!

If the meshes shift it means that a transformation is applied. Try 'Ctrl-A' (Apply all transforms).

I hope they have a good wind. Can help dissipating the hydrogen fumes.

Yes, the 'Landes' are a vast pinetrees forest. There are town and villages, of course, but overall the population density is low (except some places on the coast, like Biarritz, the surfers paradise). Should be fine for Westwards suborbital launches, there is maritime traffic but you can...

Sounds very rational...

And always remember this drawing, what you are doing is that you are filling these 'quads' with the satellite pictures. Each time you go +1 resolution level, you divide 1 quad in 4 new smaller quads. Hence the 'QuadTree' name. That's geometry, when you subdivide 1 rectangle, you get 4 smaller...

No easy way, no. Maybe it is possible to 'distort' the tiles to counter the geometric distortion, but this will likely come at the cost of a lesser resolution. The thing is that you need to know the exact path of the folders inside which the tiles must be installed. Simply put there is the...

This is the same Quadtree system you are using. The Moon and all planetoids in Orbiter are divided in 'squares' like this. As you can see, the 'squares' at the Equator are nice rectangles, but the ones near the poles are completely distorted.
