The blue bus is callin' us...

Will they, ...or won't they?

Hey, that's my van !!

Sorry, ISA borrowed it for an important mission. Please contact the finance team and they'll arrange something. :lol:

Will they, ...or won't they?

They might. I wouldn't. 500 days sitting around in that just for a Mars free-return?

Here is a DGIV skin I am working on. Decided to try and make the wings look like solar panels

Atmosphere

:thumbup:

What settings do you use for atmosphere visual parameters with the atmosphere mod? The included earth.cfg seems to be for an earlier version of Orbiter and causes a CTD. (The texture itself seems to work well.)

Been hard at work. Say hello to the Aquila Lander











Designed only for one passenger, but I suppose I can allow it to hold 2. Once I finish up the windows I'll have to do the coding & take her out for a spin around the moon. :thumbup:

Wow... Gonna have some complaints from the neighbors on that one. TWO shuttles, a Saturn V, a Delta IV, and (I think) a Titan-Centaur? I'm buying stock in the local home repair chain! :lol:

This reminds me of a post I made a year ago (and its response).

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU. SOME IDIOT SHOT OFF FIVE ROCKETS AT ONCE.

Why are you looking at me when you said that....

This time, I am not the idiot you are looking for. The rare occasion where I can actually say that and mean it.

Nuts.

Base work

So I've been working on a moon site for HASSESA. Nowhere near complete, so if any scenery texture devs have any suggestions, I thank you in advance. :tiphat:

I will be altering the edges to make the crater look more natural.

This is gonna be the main base area and I will be placing some smaller craters around the base to use as landing pads.

Finally finished the mesh, exported it & got the Dll running in Orbiter. Definitely the most intense development work Ive done so far, but its the best by far.

I decided to insert the Aquila into a scenario I had been running with a Shuttle-D in lunar orbit, 40 km high. (no need for a PDI burn here)



Roll over to the right attitude for powered descent



Throttle up!





Pitchover from the virtual cockpit, some inspiration drawn here from the KSP lander can



The Aquila "down among em" (its on the lunar far side if you were wondering)



in fact, a little too down & among em, descending at 100 m/s while still traveling at 800 m/s sideways, resulting in a lithobraking landing.



Engine thrust was clearly too low, so I upped it to 29 kN, works like a charm. I managed to land safely on my second try, quite a thrill.

More on this project coming in a little while. If you have any ideas for how to structure the VC controls, please let me know.
