Orbiter Screenshot Thread

Thank's Pete, but I'm still just a hack. If I was really good, I'd get paid for it and my wife wouldn't complain so much.:lol:
 
A lunar fly-by in a Gemini capsule. Launched with sputnik's Velcro S-I Saturn (and two Titan SRM's for some extra energy).

This screencapture utilty by vchamp works well:

You should have a readme.txt from the installation, but it may have got overwritten from later installs. This is what it reads:
Screen capture
Activate ScreenCapture module on Modules tab in Orbiter launchpad. When in simulation press Alt-F12 to make a screenshot. If you want to save only a certain region of a screen, press Alt-F11 and select a region by pressing the left mouse button and dragging the cursor. Once you release the button the image will be saved. To cancel selection press the right mouse button.
Images are saved to the "(screenshots)" folder in Orbiter root directory.
There is the ScreenCapture.cfg file in Config directory, where you can specify the output image format (jpg or bmp) and the quality of jpg images.

These are a few of my favourite images taken during various missions.

"Saturn Rise": Taken by the Transworld Express crew while orbiting Titan.

"Contact": Deepstar 2 being refueled by ReFuel's Morning Star XR5 after a long and very successful mission of exploration. I know, Deepstar's 'upside-down', but her triangular radiator configuration made an approach from the 'top' much safer.

The rest are pretty much self-explanatory.

I have problems inserting photos.
Why are they so little? And how can I make it that there is this bigger view with Click this bar to view the full image.

But when you click on the full image, its size is smaller than the original I uploaded. Is this always so?

The forum has maximum image sizes and it will scale your originals down if they are too big.
 
Some scale shots. Thanks to Overmind5000 and liber for bringing some of my all time favorite spaceships into Orbiter. (linky) :speakcool:

When the boosters separate, do they produce "Kranz's Kross?"


Would you deem that the Space Shuttle - Ultimate Edition? A whole lot of show, lots of smoke, but no real added value...

Some added delta-v for lunar missions. ;) I'm sure that the space shuttle's powerful OMS can perform a TLI burn marvelously.
 
Space Shuttle going to the moon? I'd like to see that...
