[my first spacecraft news thread :hotcool:] I got this from Twitter, don't know if anyone already knew it: http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM0AKOJH4G_index_0.html

A new Survival genre WIP game from Ubisoft. Looks promising, but like all good games it's under development heel: http://iamalivegame.uk.ubi.com/

These are cloud formations found in Uruguai that caught the atention of NASA, it seems: http://info.abril.com.br/noticias/ciencia/nuvem-rara-registrada-no-uruguai-14012010-26.shl They say that this kind of clouds may lead to tornados.

Today a crazy idea came to my mind while listening to ELO. What about if someone made this Space Saucer? ;) Something large enough to hold a Bristol Ascender Spaceplane (http://space.xprize.org/files/downloads/ansari/bristol.pdf) inside?

I've found this on a magazine today: http://www.millenniata.com/index.html Chewed up information: It's a new data recording CDs and DVDs technology that's said to resist for centuries. They use their super-discs for old archives and everyone who pays them. Although these discs are not...

Hi, I'm finished planning my next skin for DGIV so then end the skin pack I had projected. This is a skin of my fictitious company, DigTech Co, which is planned to use the Logo's colours and look more professional than the last I've made. One unique detail I was think of is changing the nose...

I need to express this big annoyance out. Really. I've been working in high voltage experiments for a year or so. I've then been designing my own model of a so called "Lifter", or "Electrokinetic apparatus" as I like to call it. It will be used to demonstrate new technology in my town (though...

Hello, some time ago I was thinking about how much ink (is that English call it?) is needed to paint a room or the walls of it. I created a formula for that, but no one says me if it works because the people I talk to "eye-ball" the number of ink containers. It works this way: to start simple...

This is a simple question but useful to me: Does anyone knows what letter font used on DGIV's default texture where it's written "ATV" (Texture file "DGIII_4.dds")? :cheers:

I guess the title of this thread is a bit misguiding, the question is that when converting your 3D model (I use Anim8or) to a .msh file for Orbiter how does the converter handle the textures? :sos: Once I, after modifying a simple plane from Ar81's Tutorial, converted to .msh. and played with...

I'm collecting some informations for my latest AddOn. I wanted to know what is the smallest possible asteroid capable of becoming a meteorite. That means how small can an asteroid be before fully disintegrate in the atmosphere without hitting the ground.

I'm needing some textures for my latest AddOn. I used CG Texture, but that website doesn't have it all and most I've got to edit to look right in space (or whatever the purpose). I know that I can use textures already in Orbiter main package, but I'm not able to convert DDS's to the format my...

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum section for this thread, Tex or other moderator may change it if that's better (after noticing me). I once was reading about the Raster Graphics and Vectorial ones, and thought about the way that software like Google Earth needs to refresh whether...

In DigTech's Website (or Blog) I'm writing about the "Perfect" Orbiter AddOn combination (http://dig-orbiter.blogspot.com/2009/04/creating-perfect-orbiter.html). You all know that over-using AddOns and modifications increase the probability for incompabilities and/or inconsistencies leading to...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8001749.stm Wow, I really need to delete all the spam in my mail box.

I would like to make visual effects like those!

Today I've noticed this: The weird is that my computer wasn't with any application opened.:blink::compbash2: Can anyone help me to find out how is half of my RAM is being "eaten"? I've started noticed this while playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. The game was being slow at rendering and crashed when...

I've heard that one computer works more efficiently if carrying a good fan, and I've also noticed that heavy applications get lag when the computer is working for a long time until the fans start pushing hot air out of my laptop:coffee:. So I though: "What if I got a way of keeping my computer...

I was needing to use Orbiter Diagnostic because I'm not finding manually some files missing in orbiter AddOns, then after installing it, an error message pops-up saying that my computer doesn't have the MSVBVM50.DLL needed to run O.D.. I've already contacted Ar81 (O.D.'s author) and he told me...
