Have you modified the sun glare appearance ?

Have you modified the sun glare appearance ?

I think I bumped the gamma up a bit, because my monitor's a bit dark. There may be some other non-default settings that haven't been overwritten by the build/install process, that I have had from a few months ago. No changes to the atmosphere settings.

Kosmos 106 was the first out of 19 built DS-P1-I military satellites, meant for calibration of Soviet missile defence radars. Concurrently with deployment of the DS-P1-I satellites, also very similar DS-P1 and DS-P1-Yu series were being launched. Here we can see Kosmos 106 during its first day on the orbit:

A Crew Dragon is visiting the Axiom Long Term Vision space station. Yes, it is spinning ...

Wait, where did Axiom released those long-term plans for their station?

It is at the end of their presentation, from minute 23:19 onwards:

Looks good, but the surface still isn't dusty enough. Not sure how to do that, micro-micro textures ? Also the shape of Surveyor's panels isn't exactly right.

 

[gamer19]

well, this is NASSP what can you do

for some real eye-pleasure, go for AMSO

I think the existing Surveyor addon is already that way a long time ago, but yeah it definitely does need a modern update

Real simulation, with actual challenge...

Well... the Surveyor 3 mesh is from AMSO, what do you expect?

agree but as time pass by I realize I have less and less time for it...

ups

My first impressions of Open Source Orbiter (finally tried it yesterday).
Clouds look more beautiful in Open (right) than in 2016 (left) (over the same location with disabled cloud shadows):

And this green gamma looks quite interesting.

It seems better with disabled (left) cloud shadows (however, in Orbiter 2016 too). Open:


Is it possible to change (or switch) the sun texture into just a small round disk without glare and effect on DG glass cockpit, as in 2016 (3rd screenshot)?:


I'm wondering, if it's any opportunity to change color, size, animation speed (or its disabled) of the water specular ripples just editing some Orbiter files without code editing. Maybe something like the manual Terrain Flattening in D3D9 , I'd like to experiment with water tuning. These are default, 2016 (left) and Open (right):

However, the water is more transparent in Open. I think the water is too dark (almost black). It could be more lighter and bluer.

And DG in Open Source Orbiter:


Also, I want to notice, that atmosphere from the the ground looks better in Open Source Orbiter.

It really looks nice
