Is there a way to make tunnels in the beta where the top is closed? That would be really cool.

No. A heightmap is 2-dimensional, with the value of each dimension being converted to the third (elevation) when the mesh is formed. So you cannot have an X/Y position with two Z-values at once, hence nothing can overlap.

Ready to release Cygnus.

Circumlunar Gemini anyone?

Circumlunar Gemini anyone?

Cool! I've been thinking of doing the same flight, just didn't had the time yet

Circumlunar Gemini anyone?

Hope they hit Earth atmosphere right.

T1234, I would have liked to thank you but some of the pictures are too ugly with the graphical glitches. :tiphat:

I will remember to turn it off before taking a shot. Here is my version of Brighton and Olympus,the pads are in a different position.

Took some pictures on my journey to Ganymede, would have liked to used something else other than DG, would have been nice to use a XR5 launcher.

I did notice transx would reset when you drop the last stage...., think it is because the luancher is the focus and not the DG when you set the escape plan.

Yep, exactly that. MFD states are not transfered with ship focus changes.

TransX plans are transferable between ships in a scenario. Simply press "BCK" when you are viewing the first stage of an "empty" plan and press "++" while looking at the "Inherit from ...x" screen, where x is the vessel you transfer the plan from.

Testing 4th_rock's Constellation Orion add-on for future missions I'm planning.
This flight: Orion-1

Standing on the pad, T-10 minutes

It's pretty high up here..

SRB nozzle steering check underway

Lift off!

Bye-bye cape

Good staging!

MECO

Orion separation, GO for orbit!

Solar panels and HGA deployed.

More pictures will be posted as the mission progress!

Wormholes, parallel dimensions and that stuff

It's been a really bad day for me, so was the flying. The only funny thing about it is this screenshot of some kind of Stargate wormhole and in the same time it's just the debris of a failed Puddle Jumper re-entry. It is not clear if the pilot managed to generate a gate which leads me to the question, did he espace the crisis zone - is this a debris or a wormhole?

A new experiment of mine. I've finally turned off windows timeout so I can now generate level 8 textures with SE and this is one of the first results. I can't promise much will come out of this but I hope to make the Kepler 47 system. It's a small system so I should be able to do that even with me now being in college.

I've finally turned off windows timeout

How did you do that? I can't seem to make it work ...

There was a nice tutorial written by QuietlyConident on the SE forums. Here is the link.

Made Despina and Proteus,they are high poly at 100,000!.Not slowing fps though.

I was wondering how this looked. I'm trying to make an exotic desert planet based off Darwin IV.
