Some recent fun with the BEST addon package in Orbiter......"World of 2001". :speakcool:

hey tex your space station titantica is nice but look at my MEGA SPACE STATION (click picture for biger image)

 

[Chupacabra]

Station "Station" (aren't I creative) observes as BSP4 performs a pitch-over maneuver.

I never realized how much fun it is too build a space station until I downloaded this beautiful whopper; which explains its incomplete state.

Here's the Jump Station I built for the Civil Space Authority that ended last November. The station is meant to serve a future space infrastructure for flights to the moon and beyond.

Did you guy's make these with Burch's Space Station Building Blocks? Oh, and Chupacabra, what program did you use to add that light bloom effect?

 

[Chupacabra]

I used Burch's Space Station Building Blocks along with his Big Space Plane 4 Setup.

For the special effects I used several tools in Photoshop CS2 (my favorite). I can't remember exactly how I did it but I used the Brightness/Contrast Adjustment layer, the Curves Adjustment Layer (an EXTREMELY helpful tool if you know how to use it IMHO), Sharpen Edges, Some random filter effect (can't remember if I actually used one, probably did, I did this a couple weeks ago), and a carefully placed lens flare.

It made a fun wallpaper but not as saliva-inducing as Ford Prefect's Render.

 

[Zatnikitelman]

No, actually I used the modules found on Mustard's site. And no effects or editing of any kind. In fact, everything except the solar modules, the Centaur Upperstage, the CEV, and the Dragonfly lite are from Mustard's site.

i dident use any addons for mine i just used iss,mir,and module 1

K, thanks everyone.

I've been having some fun by flying several DGIVs simultaneously. This is Kilo Flight, USAF, out of Edwards Orbital Force Base, California. 31st January 2108.

They take off nicely in formation

They ascend nicely in formation

And they follow their leader like all good little military pilots should

Delta-G a half hour after release from the tether-sling:

And two hours after release:

Lots and lots of initial velocity here!

 

[Belisarius]

When you're feeling peckish and nothing else will do...

 

[Chupacabra]

Old World

Belisarius, Your Scenes are funny!:rofl:It must have been fun launching all those DGs for the DoD.

Okay, I just finished working on this one. I've spent at least four hours (it was really probably closer to five or six...:huh. Here is the boring screen cap followed by the awesome Wallpaper. Quote is attributed to inscription on Columbus' caravels.

Once again thank you very much Greg Burch and Martin Schweiger, you make my days very exciting. Some days I can't believe I've been "orbiting" since '03.

Ill hate to be the guy who is standing at the end of the runway.

 

[Belisarius]

Chupacabra - Thanks for your comment, and for your JPEG, I've saved it for my "best Orbiter screensavers" collection. Well worth a few hours work.

Y en el futuro - Sé bueno, no chupes más cabras!

Ryan - The guy standing at the end of the runway is me! Fortunately I'm 143 years old, so most of my body parts are Burchismo cyborg prostheses. Didn't hurt a bit.

 

[Biscuit]

My first pitiful attempts at station building. :blink:

Universal arm attached to the XR5, hooking up station modules from Mustard's station pack (that I'm slowly getting turned into XR5 native payloads... well, trying to, anyway).

Much fun! :woohoo:

Size comparison of TX, SSS and DG

This one is instructive, I think.

It shows three popular craft in orbit: Doug Beachy's DG-XR1, Kulch's TX, and Burchismo's Swift Spaceplane. Notice how huge the TX is and how tiny the SSS is next to the DG-XR-1 (standard DeltaGlider size). They are all within 10 metres of each other.

 

[Master of Blades]

Yeezhuz I never realized that the TX was that damn big!:blink:

 

[Belisarius]

It's a freakin monster - I'm beginning to doubt that it could work at all in the real world.

The TX is possible if enough money was put behind it, it is comparable to the XR5 only in size. The payload is 50 tonnes to LEO compared to 436 tonnes.
