Yesterday, a week after the initial launch date, MSS expedition 2 took off from Cape Canaveral.

Today Dream Chaser docked to the MSS at 11:45 UTC.

Beautiful screenies, IR!

Indeed, Nvidia's Dynamic Super Resoluton help quite a lot in Orbiter (above is regular 1080p, below is 4K super sampled) :

As you can see, even using D3D9's antialiasing, that the 4K downsampled picture has much better edges. Stars are also fainter too, because of how supersampling works. But look, Titan is all pretty, and Saturn is more detailled !

Not much differences here, except that the Earth appears to have more clouds.

I have been away from Orbiter for some time (life stuff) and week ago I installed 2015 version and d3d9 and it is awesome!
Anyway since I have 2 7" tablets I installed VNC MFD (yes It works in 2015 I can confirm) and enjoyed some nice view of earth
Tnx kamaz for addon!
:tiphat:

Now we need to scroll UVW map of water part of the texture and we have moving waves.

... yes. Sometimes I'm dreaming too far.

I can almost feel the sea breeze. Great work.

I know almost nothing about rendering of water, so, can someone explain to me where exactly are the limits of Orbiter in regards to water realism?

Would something like this be applicable in Orbiter?

Well, the first thing is that, AFAIK, the Orbiter engine has (yet) no way to "know" what is water (or any liquid for other planetary bodies) and what isn't. For now there's only the "surface", and latest updates just gave a way for the engine to deal with terrain elevation, which is great already. So water is really "only" a texture.

Nice setup, just be sure to hide your VISA # when you take pics (well, that's safe here, don't worry).

Are the telescopes in NASSP fully functional for navigation?
