Orbiter Screenshot Thread

[HAL9001]

I would like to see some "fleet" shots (your ships arranged on the ground, such as my picture above); they look cool.

what aout ships arranged in orbit, flying beside each other?

Either on ground or in orbit is okay.

So after playing around with brightness and contrast settings, I think I've found a good compromise.

How's that look? I brightened the weathering and panels and heightened the contrast so that it doesn't darken the paint too much.

For me, it couldn't be better.

SAILOR JUPUTER!
You probably can't tell due to the picture being resized, but I was running D3D9 with 16xQ Anti-Aliasing, if you can do this, DO IT! you won't regret it!

SAILOR PLUTO!
Finally getting there, all that's left is Sailor Saturn, Sailor Chibi Moon and Tuxedo Mask, then you can finally get your hands on these skins.

Edit: I know the picture is tiny, but it was the only one I could find with an easily removable background. If anybody finds a better picture, send it my way! same goes for Sailor Neptune, that's the best I could find.

Coming soon to an Orbit Hangar near you.

STS-1 entering the HAC

Wrong landing site there CDR! STS-1 landed at Edwards AFB, Calif. RWY23L. First KSC landing was STS-41B in 1984.

Accidental successful polar orbit. My intent was a random/unplanned orbit.

EDIT:Also no cheating, just using Classic DG DGIV Skin.

Inspecting...

I like your PB skin :thumbup:

A pilot inside would add immersion, though


After all, I've choosen a 5-meters second stage for the Sigma rocket. The first stage + the SRB are powerful enough for that, and it reduces the insane acceleration of the SRBs. Payload to LEO : currently more than 60 tons ! The fairing is 22 meters long and 5 meters wide, it should allow to put some stuff inside it.

:facts:

. . . sorry, couldn't resist a gratuitous usage of the smilies this time.

That's so true. I actually got carried away by the many reentry tries I have been doing lately. "STS-1 Final Pass" has been my practice scenario, and the fact that the real landing occurred at EDW really slipped my mind.

Turnabout Sisters. :thumbup:
I'll probably be releasing a lot of these Ace Attorney skins, as they're quick and easy to do and I have almost of the sprites from the games.
Is anyone else around here an Ace Attorney fan?

In the process of updating all my skins with paneling and weathering, I started with the Aer Lingus skin.
I just uploaded the updated version to OHM.

Sort of. I've only played the Apollo Justice one, though. Getting back to station building, a fully loaded Ariane 6 sits on the pad:

Launch:

SRB and fairing separation:

1st stage MECO, 2nd stage ignition:

2nd stage MECO:

Circulisation burn:

Payload ejected:

To be continued...

 

[N_Molson]

That Ariane 6 is fearsome ! :thumbup:

 

[Scav]

Mmmhmm.

Here's one for the ET shot:

 

[IronRain]

Starting a new personal long duration program. I will fly these mission when I'm not flying to Skylab or OFSS3. I thought it would be fun to use O-F members as crew, and the crew for this (3 months) mission are Flight Commander PhantomCruiser and Flight Engineer SamuelEdwards.

Launch of Salyut

Climbing

Getting ready for staging

Second stage performing well, fairing serparation

Salyut separation

Antennas deployed

Deploying solar panels

Everything deployed

Getting ready for launch, 1 day later

PhantomCruiser and SamuelEdwards aboard Soyuz 1 ready for launch

Escaping Earths gravity

Booster separation

Fairing separation

Staging, second stage ignition

Soyuz 1 in orbit. PhantomCruiser and Samuel will dock with Salyut tomorrow

Aah, Thorton's addons... :hail: Awesome pics garanteed.


No, this is not an ICBM, just a rocket with a completely failing guidance program... Now, is there a big difference for the people below ? :lol:
