Who says that the DG entering the hangar (or something else) can't open the hangar doors?

No one. For years I've had my Clavius Base dome in wo2001 open with a distance trigger via lua. Of course it is a vessel, but even if it wasn't you can load any mesh you want on the spot (or preload it) and animate it do whatever you want.

Okay, glad to hear that I didn't just stumble upon an obvious way of doing things that everyone else missed. :thumbup:

Base build in progress

I thought you were making the same base as I do! But fortunately yours does not exist IRL (I think), whereas mine does!

You right! My base is fictional, but I'll try to make it an acceptable form. It's on 46.06 N.

Nice view on earth

Finally found, and fix texture shaking bug
Still no docking ports.

No, this was not inspired from a known game intro ... :lol:
BTW, do you know where this was taken?

I figured since they don't need it anymore, they wouldn't mind if I use it, in my portable SpaceSim.

Thanks to Kulch for your work in the excellent Universal Cargo Deck.

A project that I've been working on lately:

Madrid Deep Space Communications Center. Those default blocky buildings are gonna get moved.
I've done Canberra too:

Goldstone is on its way too, just nothing to show yet.

Working frantically here for the next three launch preview articles......

Mercury at last!

You should consider a higher-res texture pack, once you are skilled enough to actually reach another planet.

My first launch pad build in progress

it's from my future fictional base

A clichéd image, nevertheless it was a challenge to pause at the right moment:

I think was coming on a bit right...

STS-121 Discovery

Busy times aboard the Polar Earth Observatory. The first Next-Gen Apollo docked this morning to start a 2 week mission aboard the station.
