And Blue Gemini?

And Blue Gemini?

Yup the MOL was an USAF thing. But the capsule on a MOL flight wouldn't be Blue Gemini (which is a normal Gemini with an USAF sticker on it), it would be "Gemini B" (with the (in)famous tunnel-hole through the heat shield that made and still makes a lot of ink flow).

No problem with the hatch there.... no flow, no harm. Its like using rubber O-Rings in a SRB. As long as they are sealing the gap, hot gases don't even come close to them. But a small leak past all O-Rings is enough for starting a burn-through.

Looking at the post from asbjos, I remembered to test the lens flares and the effect is impressive. My computer did not melt and the graphics ran very smooth. Thank you D3D9 client developers!





That ray of light coming through the window... Now I'll have to use sunglasses.

Now I'll have to use sunglasses.

Ah yes those are essential in the toolbox of any pilot, eventually they became a symbol (Top Gun...)

Testing Universal Cargo Deck in Orbiter 2016. It works perfect!






I forgot to mention that Universal Cargo Deck sometimes produces CTDs when starting a scenario. I also tried CamShake v1.1 and it works perfect.
