No probs.
Due to the magic of time-zones I've been asleep while you have been working!
If you are happy with what you've got that's grand,
I've purchased AC3D, so lots of playing to do

I'm guessing when you release your add-on, you will include those .dds tiles to overwrite the originals?

I've had AC3d for a year and a half now has a couple of quirks but is really great Love it

AC3D looked nearest to 3D MAX. I used that up to 5.1, then it got really expensive. Its way beyond anything I'll ever do. I'm hoping AC3D will have an easier learning curve than straight into a new prog.

It does, but one important difference. The X coord. must be reversed in the .ini file to get them to work correctly with the .ac to .msh converter.

The X co-ords thing is a pain at the start but comes second nature now, I also use the free program Paint.net for textures, works very well

Is there a tutorial for exporting an AC3D mesh/file to Orbiter format .msh?

I would look myself, but its always better when other folk have done it before...

Get this plug-in: http://www.inivis.com/supercoldmilk/ac3dplug/msh_impexp.html and then from the File>Export sub-menu select Orbiter MSH files....

[Donamy]

What do you mean ?

 

[Donamy]

A new updated capsule mesh for Urwumpe. It has the drogues and chutes attached. And better texture.

Should I add seats ?

 

[Urwumpe]

Should I add seats ?

Can you make them configurable? Like removing some seats for installing payloads like the COLLIDE and BORE experiments on the previous flight?

 

[Donamy]

Should make them payloads then.

Here's some scenery.

 

[Donamy]

It's alot more comfortable in the desert, when you're sitting in an air-conditioned truck.

Awsome Brian.
