'Harmony' STS-120 - An Orbiter Film by Tex

[Tex]

Hi guys! After I downloaded and installed David413's amazing addons including the newest suppliment pack, I decided to make a film basically re-creating the current flight. Don't laugh if I placed Harmony wrong as I wasn't 100% positive where it went... (the flight director has since fired me) :lol:

I'm really happy with the results of this film and hope you guys enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks so much for watching all!

Thanks Kendo.

To be honest, I only used the fly by addon for one shot. I actually find it still easier to use the camera system in Orbiter by selecting the Ground tab and then Current which basically stops the camera but it continues to track the target. I usually slow time down all the way first, then do this and pause the sim real fast once the camera is in free mode basically. You can then increase and decrease panning speed as desired to position the camera exactly where you want it allowing you to see how it looks before the flyby happens. Then simply unpause and hit record.

I think the only down side to the fly by MFD is it doesnt track the target (pan) and I guess also that you have to enter in all the numbers which doesnt allow you to really see the shot before hand. Nonetheless, it's still a very valuable tool.

O.K....The cameras are something I really haven,t gone into much. Actually they are very effective if used right.

Pam Melroy's voice takes on a rather masculine tone at times... (j/k)
