Orbiter Screenshot Thread

Wasn't . . . that the whale probe from STIV:TVH?
 
Loving the look of that exhaust texture, is it an addon or your own handy work?

No, it's this one: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3141"]New Contrail Textures[/ame]

Happy contrailing :lol:
 
I found this relic over at Avsim. The author is missileman01. Any chance of an update?

Who can tell me, how to fix this problem? I will be grateful for the help.

Orbiter renders faces only in positive normal direction to the camera (one sided) so you'd have to re-mesh the thing.

Easiest way will be to duplicate nozzle and flip duplicate's normals. That'd result in 2 sided faces for the nozzle however nozzle wall's thickness would be 0.

Alternate to that is just remeshing nozzle with actual thick wall. You can do it for example using lathe modifier (AFAIK you were using 3ds max)

Here is quick tutorial for whole rocket but principle is the same for nozzle. (tutorial is in GMAX but 3ds max has identical functions)

* Sorry for my accent and long pauses - kinda hard to focus both on modelling and translating in live recording

Try these settings for the visual effects tab:

Note the settings for "Night light level" and "Ambient light level". Also, be sure that "Planet night lights" is checked.


This works! Thanks a lot! :tiphat:

Returning from the ISS (Thorton's version) and thought this made a cool pic during the HAC.
