Looking amazing, especially with the D3D9 client. I can't wait till this is really ready for prime time. I get a great framerate with the vanilla graphics, too. These issues with the default graphics client have probably been reported already, but just consider them another data point: - At...

"Orbits are like metal wire, planets are like magnetic pegs, and burning the engine is like bending the wire." Everyone immediately heard this in their head. Some of us still are.

I'm also using DX9 and I'd love to have the terrain back, but since the next core version is going to have it, I guess it'd be kinda redundant and we might as well wait. On the other hand, who knows how far off that Tuesday is?

When I first heard this song years ago, I immediately thought of the Voyager probes, and the rest of their journey, their wonderful work done, their purpose achieved, and now finally allowed the eternal rest of the Milky Way. This goes out to you, Voyager 1. Upward Over The Mountain - YouTube...

This would be worth it even if it's all they built the ISS to do. There's also his own original "space shanty" (though it's probably already been posted): Jewel in the Night -- original music from the International Space Station - YouTube Hopefully this is the first in a long line of...

"Doll made from real bones" seems the most likely explanation, but there are some pretty extreme medical oddities out there. It just seems like there'd be more examples of people that tiny.

I was having this for a long, long time, but a few updates ago it was fixed for me. I tried pretty much every combinitorial array of settings and several different drivers for my GTX570, but it really seemed to be something on the client end. Issues I'm still having: - Occasional misalignment...

So it's a box that just happens to have whatever consumable you need in it? Cool. I make a lot of personal scenarios that are just freely flying around on a whim, so this'd be useful. Plus I like the generic cargo look, it's classy, though maybe a little "20th Century" for a spaceship cargo.

Sagittarius A*, what have you been eating!? Behold, the apotheosis of the Fart... Now Andromeda starts backing away... Yeah, anybody who lives way outside the galactic plane would probably already be, like... some kind of interstellar Grizzly Adams. "Hmm...Builds character."

This has always been one of my favorites and now it's looking really, really cool. But I think yeah, the old school RCS clusters seem a little out of place, especially at that scale next to a person, because you'd kinda expect there to be so many more sub-details. Something like a truncated...

Now that they've discovered that "unicorn lair" under Pyongyang they've probably got their own Laika all lined up, too.

If there are only a few ninjas left, clearly it is because they were the strongest ones still standing. Or they they are the worst ninjas, because the others are all hiding.

Ditto. I like the crew designations, I'd just like the option to not have an organizational logo, or at least just have a generic one that could be anything.

Will all the "classic" suits of this type have a US flag on them? I understand the appeal of specificity but personally I prefer my presence in Orbiter to be completely anonymous. (Plus there are a lot of us who don't live here in the States)

I thought I had lost the capacity to be this excited for the release of something.

Nutmeg and Datura a.k.a. Jimson Weed are definitely those "don't touch unless you've seriously Stopped Caring" psychedelics. I won't link to the archives on Erowid for possible NSFW reasons but just google "datura/nutmeg trip report" and be astonished. But I do find it fascinating what...

^ I'm getting the exact same thing, but since I can't seem to find the normals online anymore when checking for a new version, I'm guessing they were taken down because they were obsolete in some way.

I think it's sorta someone's statement about what you should expect them to already know if they have some sort of problem, or what percentage of things they know are possible in Orbiter that they've already mastered. Just a little clue as to where the cutoff line is for "you probably already...

This new version fixed the hard edges of the atmosphere, but now unfortunately the upper reaches of it no longer cover the edge of the clouds on Earth, leaving a pixellated line of cloud texture above the limb/horizon, and that one glitch is back where the day/night sides of the clouds are often...

It seems a lot better and more stable now, I really think it's getting there. The shadows look great! Probably a known issue and it's only visible for a couple minutes, but one little thing I've been noticing is a hard edge to the atmosphere when you're just getting outside of it: Might be...
