Thankyou for your settings Gattispilot.
I converted an .obj to a new mesh section for the base and took an image in Orbiter's environment useing my settings first, as shown in top picture section. I then took your settings and pasted them over mine to see what difference it would make. As you can see, a very large differnce.
I think it has something to do with the atmospheric properties of Earth that may affect the mesh itself, although I haven't really put the base on Earth. But looking at your ships interior, I can only assume this.
It's a trouble really as any ship that leaves the Earth and it's atmospheric properties, may change the effects of the mesh and texture display in a vacume without such properites. If the base or vessel is placed on another planet or moon with differing properties, I wonder what the effects would be. I'll have to try some experiments with the sections, just to see.
Thanks for the feedback Gattispilot. Most helpful and goodluck with the cruiser.
