ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
I used GlideSlope2, you tu see those two curves\slopes during reentry
One is for altitude, another curve -speed. If your flying curve (I think yellow - altitude one) goes not as steeply down as "REFERENCE" curve, you have to roll almost 85-90 degrees (and watch direction to Canaveral, so Roll...
Maybe another set of global Moon textures - illuminated from the opposite side would be cool solution? And user chooses Moon1, Moon2, ... hm, sounds strange I know...
Soviet's could not have left Poland alone, because there are certain indications showing that USSR also planned to attack towards the west.
And let's not forget invasion in Finland in 1939.
If I have read correctly, in December of 1940 Molotov visited Berlin again and demanded changes in this...
If gaps are fixed, current exterior model mostly is quite OK.
P.S. in these VC pictures aft windows are great! But upper window(s) are a bit odd (pixelated lines - "frames"), at least in the first pic (just a portion of it can be seen).
Yes, I was talking about those OMS gaps (yellow outline).
I think that payload bay forward slope(wall), which is crew cabin's aft wall at the same time, is vertical.
Yes, that is funny that SSU VC does not feature black frames around aft windows, because they definitely were.
But SSU payload...
Yeah, maybe let's keep Atlantis bay for now.
Yes, by the way I was testing this new ColumbiaORG2016G mesh, trying to find proper animations (more accurate coordinates) for umbilical and payload bay doors.
I made spacecraft3 vessel, and adjusted EXT TANK HATCH (umbilical) door animations...
Actually I am using External Tank from SSU, it looks great, cables, cable tray etc., are 3D modelled, not painted...
Present cargo bay is kinda "photorealistic", SSU's is a bit "generated\drawn".
The only thing I did was copying another texture portion to replace "dark shading spot" in the...
I posted this also in 2016Shuttle topic, so in case just decided to post here as well...
I found in MeshWizard manual:
I get a crash to desktop with "error 68 Device unavailable" message.
Upon exiting the program, Mesh Wizard creates a CONFIG.TXT file with the settings of your last...
I found in MeshWizard manual:
I get a crash to desktop with "error 68 Device unavailable" message.
Upon exiting the program, Mesh Wizard creates a CONFIG.TXT file with the settings of your last session.
This error refers to removable drive units or, if you switched computer, it...

There is some clipping, but I think, it's OK. In orbit doors are anyway mostly opened. Payload\cradles in bay are now seen, and cockpit aft windows are very much OK, also no flickering, looking at them from outside.

First pic - PAM-S cradles in STS-5 bay (outside view), but in aft cockpit view these cradles are not rendered\visible.
Also [visually] aft window frames are a bit inconsistent - part of frame is black, part - white (where window thickness is)...
Yes, in orbit - closing payload doors, they can be seen fully, even close up.
But payload is not rendered. Because whole orbiter is the cockpit...
I use D3D9 from Dec 13, 2019.
Strange, I had STS-5 LAUNCH scenario, and I did not have any clipping issues, not payload doors, not that front cockpit window "thickness mesh clipping"! I switched control from ET5 to STS-5, of course, during pre-launch sequence.
Oops, payload cannot be seen in the payload bay. It is because...
Yes, to look out also the other aft window could be a good thing...

I found some anomalies, is it EVA guy or shuttle?

It was clearly in the shadow (whole payload bay was in shadow)...
Seems that it is OK. Only when I look in cockpit aft camera, screen, which is to the left beside the starboard side aft window, has one poly-triangle with wrong material (half screen MFD does not show)...
