Oh goodie Does this mean we get to follow the gang on their wacky hijinks in space?

If you want, feel free to add this to orbiterroot\config\moon\marker\Traces of Human Activity.mkr:

Snapped these while warming her up

Wow but that's a lot of hardware sitting around.

You haven't seen my lunar station then have you?

I was actually troubleshooting why you cant have multiple lines in each ships config in scenario files and ive also just learned tonight how easy it is to add 3d objects and why i cant see some addons ive installed, so its been a good night lol

 

[PhantomCruiser]

Oh, I've seen it. But it's in space. This many freighters sitting dirt-side is a waste of money. Freighters are built to haul freight, if they aren't hauling freight they're costing money.

The same would be true for a science vessel.

Noobie here, Orbiter 2006 P1 with my first 'hacked' mod- Mir 1.3 rescaled Mir_VI mesh, photorealistis textures, custom made cloud textures and my fist use of the DG-IV docking autopilot.

I like reentering on Mars, you get to admire scenery and atmospheric sunrises without having to worry about burning anything...

In the "hypothetical/alternate history" series, a fictionnal "Apollo-Agena rendez-vous & docking" mission, implying that the Agena docking port would have been equipped with the LEM docking mechanism :

Maybe a docking adapter, ala Apollo soyuz.

Love the first shot. Placed on desktop for a while.

Yeah, Apollo CSM can look really cute, with that wonderful Earthglow

Maybe a docking adapter, ala Apollo Soyuz.

That's the first solution I was thinking about, but the idea was to keep with existing hardware in the 1965-1970 timeframe. It wouldn't probably be too hard to model a cone port, make a MeshWizard run and Velcro-ize the result to modify the Agena docking port coordinates, but that was more an experiment and the opportunity to take some screenshots.

Oh, and using all the Agena fuel allows to boost the apoapsis of a fully-fueled CSM by 200 km. Rather pointless, except if you consider it can be a redudency to deorbit in case the SPS fails.

You guys display a lot better of an ability to control yourself with reflections whilst using D3D9. I put them on everything.

Actually I touched nothing, those are the default AMSO addon textures, which are pretty nice.

 

[4throck]

Indeed, AMSO has nice textures!

So I started up orbiter for the fist time in a long time and found myself completely confused on what the hell I was doing. So logic says when you forget how to play orbiter, you should take Apollo to the moon so that's what I did.
I started AMSO Apollo 8 and was soon on my way off the planet, however the damned auto pilot failed about 4/5 of the way through my ascent which led me to burn for much longer than needed. So much fuel was burned infact that I needed to use my service module to finish my TLI burn which of course spelt trouble ಠ_ಠ And after a nice little wait I even managed to mess up my course correction which left me with a pretty damn big orbit around the moon.

Still made a good view though. So I orbited a few times before I decided to start getting on my way home with the bear minimum of fuel left.

It would have been around the time I took this before I realized how screwed I was, no fuel left and was going to skip off the atmosphere, kinda like what they though was gona happen in Apollo 13

I still took the chance anyway and went straight in hoping that drag on the atmosphere would solve all my worries but no.

So my first mission in ages left the crew of Apollo 8 dead but I still consider it a somewhat success.
