Hello again @Max-Q Here is an updated mesh / textures for the ISS.

A few notes:

1. The current iss_03.dss file is a 8K texture file, I've also included a 4K version (files will have to be renamed). Reason for this, is that the section for the docking target is too small to obtain a good resolution. Files are quite a bit bigger than the original, but I haven't noticed much performance issues.

2. I've added @DaveS Generic APAS-95 mesh / textures (Pasive side only) It's not a separate mesh, I've just copied/pasted the objects in Blender to your original mesh.

3. I've tested the IDAS (HAS_IDAS=true) with this mod, and it's working just fine.

4. I would be more than happy to replace the whole PMAs with @Donamy and Thorton PMA mesh if they are OK for me to use their stuff. (I can't even try their ISS rendition since the GenericVessel addon seems to be impossible to find (Anyone can PM it to me?)

Regards.
Esteban.

I'm not a big fan of an entire 8k texture just for one small area that needs higher resolution.
I'm more ok with a 4k version, I'll take a look at it.

Excellent! :cool:

That would be great, and IIRC those PMAs have an actual docking target mesh instead of just a texture as with the model I used, so that would solve the 8k texture thing as well.

I'll check out your zip, I've been away from my PC for a week or so and haven't had a reliable internet connection so sorry for the slow response.

Hello,

I have installed Better_ISS on my old PC with no problem. But with my new PC I get this warning in the LOG-File:

============================ ERROR: ===========================
Could not load vessel module: ISS_HD
[Vessel::LoadModule | .\Vessel.cpp | 5747]
===============================================================
============================ ERROR: ===========================
Could not load vessel module: SSRMSD
[Vessel::LoadModule | .\Vessel.cpp | 5747]
===============================================================

any idea?
Thanx a lot

Sounds like something happened to the DLLs.
Can you check that they are there? I have seen cases where an over-eager antivirus program takes out Orbiter addon DLLs.
Aside from that, I'd just recommend re-installing Better ISS and see if that fixes it.
If not, please let me know

What can cause this strange visual bug? It appaers when looking from the statoin to docked ship (docked ship is activ vessel).
