I don't know... a journey to Mars always strikes me. I love the arrival there!
Goodbye Earth!
Hello Mars!
Dawn.
Approx. 10 Meters to go!
Hello Orcus Patera!
Awesome shots. I feel the same. Something about travelling to the Red Planet. Amazing every time when you turn prograde and she fills the window. I'll never forget the first time I experienced that. One of the moments that solidified Orbiter's place in my life.
I have yet to successfully reenter there though. By successfully, I mean reenter the atmosphere (complete) and not overshoot the base by 1000km (herein lies my problem).
I'll get there, just need to practice.

EXACTLY! This is EXACTLY the feeling I had, too! I remember it so... I don't know the english word. As if it was yesterday! The first travel to a body other than the moon is an awesome moment!
I sometimes have the same problem. I fly a DGIV and somtimes the autopilot for the reentry gets it right and sometimes it messes up and I overshoot like 200km.
Sometime we'll be able to do the reentry just right!

Goodbye Orcus Patera!
Burning to leave Mars.
Bye bye!
Ah, home...

Yes I have... and I have absolutely no clue where to find the solution for this. :compbash2:

Try these settings for the visual effects tab:
Note the settings for "Night light level" and "Ambient light level". Also, be sure that "Planet night lights" is checked.

Loving the look of that exhaust texture, is it an addon or your own handy work?
