Sorry for taking so long with the orbiter, but it's going to be worth the wait. Two of the major delays was with the OMS pods and the XO1307 bulkhead and the PLBD EVA handrails. Both have now been resolved. Here's a screenshot of the brand new PLBD EVA handrail: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ia46yevqty...drail.jpg?dl=0
It now very much looks like the one in this photo from STS-131: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8wh0oxuvl9...drail.jpg?dl=0 |

Can you make a normal map that mimics the surface of the real rail?
![]() (And maybe use this normal map to maybe also replace some triangles, looks relatively high poly for a such a small part, but then, it might be seen from close) |

Other hardware that appears prominently is the left forward radiator retract hose in its fully extended position, the elbow MPM for the SRMS and two of the drive mechanisms for the left payload bay door. Last edited by DaveS; 06-13-2018 at 09:03 PM. |

Exactly. Also, during an EVA or by using the payload bay cameras, the aft rails would also be visible from close. But still, the rails are candidates that could be optimized by hiding them or reducing their poly count, while they are not visible or the observer is too far away. |

Sure. I think the audits are great tool. Also we are still on the "good" side compared to recent standard hardware in terms of graphics, so the need to optimize is not that urgent yet. Still, I wonder what to do/play with the next full release. And when the MMCAs come, will the SRMS also be ported to use them? |

If we but so much work into GNC... what about using it for some station building focus? |

Rendezvous, good idea. Issue #1: launch into the correct plane... we can't do that well (especially with the pad being in the wrong place because of the Earth not being of the correct shape). Regardless of the shape of the Earth, I'd like to get all that IY-plane stuff working... but I only have 2 hands. Landing got "broken" with Orbiter 2016, so that gets priority. |
