Gemini fun! (hint: I'm working on textures for the VC, normalmaps, Agena target, etc.)
After a long flight and many gravity assists the Io Orbiter has finally arrived at it's destination:

Thanks to Piper for making this mission possible.

OV-105 Endeavour has been aquired from US Government and proper facilities have been bulid on CSSC.
You're running Space Exploration Museum at CSSC now?

A couple screenshots of [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6101"]Hlynkacg's AAPO Lunar Stack[/ame] (CSM/LM) in orbit about 100km above the ancient, weathered surface of the far side. It's a lot higher than a typical Apollo orbit, but it makes observation of a broader area possible. Can't quite recall specifically where the spacecraft was flying over when these shots were taken, but I believe it wasn't too far from the western-most edge of the Ocean of Storms.
And here's a panorama, consisting of six individual screenshots and stitched together, looking out across the lunar surface from 100km up. The LM/CSM stack is visible in the near foreground. Click the bar to get a better view. Gotta love OGLA with LROC heightmaps. :thumbup:

Sir - are you sure we should install these using ductape?
There's no kill like overkill :hunter:

Felix24's BMNG textures are fantastic.

Finally got a decent export from Blender, after wrestling with the exporter and the program itself. Reflecting materials are a pain to get right.
Some will certainly recognize the vessel (Libellule or Dragonfly) :thumbup: I've followed the original design, so the RCS doesn't make complete sense. The same goes for the cockpit. I've put the basic structure there, it isn't worth detailing because the pilot's view is completely obstructed by the consoles.
Anyway it's a cool design and there aren't many Once Upon a Time Space vessels around!

A long lost page of spaceflight history happened exactly right now 25 years ago, in her full glory in Orbiter.

It looks decent.
... oh but it's a simulator ? I thought those were renders actually... :lol:
Nice shots !
Could you please tell what add-ons you're using ? (iss)
And which rendering system ?
BTW, je suis de Toulouse aussi

Wow thanks for the pics Penguin, Buran was one of the worst space program management failures ever. Such a nice ship sent to scrapyard 
. Only imagine it would still be there to relief the Space Shuttle...
Hello !,
Salut !,
I use ISSR v3.2 from Thorton and ISS A to Z to get all the modules, plus of course the (in)famous ^^ Vinka's spacecraft3.dll.
"Rendering system" is known as Jarmonik's Direct3D 9.0 External Graphic Client, I strongly recommend it as it boosts both performance and rendering quality (Atmospheric effects, Earthglow etc...).
Happy to see that a small "Orbiter colony" is developping in Toulouse, it makes sense as we have the luck to live in Europe's astronautics capital (Ariane Control Room is just a bit South of the city, in the CNES complex, near the Sciences & Technology University) ! :thumbup:
