Here's my recent attempts at transposition and docking during the Apollo 11 mission:

A little something I did, just to see what the full-res 86K Earth would look like...

Post much?: Those look fantastic! Are those textures freely available?

Orbital sunrise as seen from 1800km up in orbit around Venus. The tiny blue dot to the 5 oclock position from the sun is Earth....

Very nice! Could you please tell me what sun texture you're using?

Not yet. The landmask used is from the incomplete SWBD, stopping at 60N, and has numerous gaps in rivers. I am currently extracting the MOD44W mask that fills these gaps. Only then will I release it. The only problem with hosting is that the file would be about 4GB.

When is the projected release date?

I don't know yet. I really hope it will be soon, though. Processing a single quadrant through pltex can take a day or so.

Any idea what level resolution those textures are at and which version of Orbiter (2006P1 or BETA) will be required to use them?

Addons used:

Universal Cargo Deck
A Spotlight mesh I found on the web
and the pad spotlights trick as copied out of "launchpad lights"

Since the maps are 86K, they were resized to level 12 and will only work with the orbiter beta. To even use them, you MUST have the map load on demand or else everything will be a slideshow.

Got it, thanks for the info. Looking forward to seeing those in action. Can't wait to see global level 14 textures one day... :speakcool:
