Columbia and Eagle around the Moon.




Falcon landed on the plain at Hadley.



This next one is a bit of a throwback. This is a simulation I did of Challenger on STS-61-F (the flight it was supposed to make after 51-L) about to launch Ulysses to Jupiter on a Centaur G-Prime. The shuttle is from Shuttle Fleet 4.8 and is reskinned with textures from SSU.

I created a new Moon texture derived from the Moon CGI kit. I always wanted a surface texture with the shadows only "created" by the terrain and actual local sun angle instead of having fixed shadows with a sun in the west for the whole globe. You can find it at orbithangar.

Deepstar 3.1 at Neptune... 10 year round trip.

Neptune is quite intimidating... Jupiter is big and mighty but Neptune is such a cold and remote place... there's something scary despite the "familiar" blue color.

francisdrake's Vulcan Centaur serves well for launching Kulch's Deep Star probe. The probe JUST fits inside the payload bay - provided you invoke the long fairing option.

Great! A must have, although it should go one or two levels higher to completely replace the existing textures. But looks great from a distance, completely realistic!

Apollo 16 - Commander John Young jumps for the salute on the Highlands of Descartes, April 1972.

 

[gamer19]

you should really use that ground level improvement texture for Moon
look how other's people screenshots look compared to yours:

make Commander John Young happy again

 

[kuddel]

@gamer19 : Sure, Ford could have done that... but you could also have tried better to re-create his scene, too (no offence - just kidding)

The default Atlantis doing a Twice Orbital Rate Fly-Around (TORFA) of ISS:

Here's one showing the orbiter from ISS. Note the Zvezda solar array shadows on the orbiter as the orbiter is below the station at orbital noon.

And now that we're back on the +R BAR, sep burn#1 is executed using the +X RCS jets to depart the vicinity of the station:

Familiar faces ?

Where can I get these darker AMSO LM cabin textures?

ask 4throck, here https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/amso-lm-repaint.39934/ or on private

and once again
ask him for those Moon low level detailed textures, please.
