If New South Croydon refers to the Croydon I know, then that might explain why Brighton Beach reminds me of masterfully over-optimistic utopian 60's concrete architecture... quite beautiful in its own way...?

I suspect Brighton Beach in the UK too, as both create great expectations but are somewhat underwhelming on arrival! ;)

Feel free to use one of the vertical launch towers from WIN, for permanent or test use. You may want something more 'real world', but if you look in the Ascension's config and scenario files, you will see how it is loaded into the base and how the animated components work too. The anims use...

And cup holders... Coming along nicely Loru, she's becoming a real beaut. Will there be an airlock/door from cabin to payload bay?

So they can't build a wind tunnel, but they can build a 5th gen fighter? Don't buy that I'm afraid. At the most this is a propaganda model, watch the vid at about 1:30 when the turntable stops. It rocks back and forth for a few seconds. I very much doubt a turntable, which would have to be...

Yes there is, you need to adjust the surface material properties of the mesh. The billboard mesh is made of 2 objects, the frame and the sign itself, each has its own material. So you can adjust the material properties for the sign part to make it 'glow' in the dark. There are 4 lines for...

Im not going to make any comment on the artistic quality, but FWIW he didn't ask me regarding use of the ORL graphics. Although most are not mine obviously, I am somewhat of a custodian for them through ORL and WIN, for which they were produced. That said, all had permission for inclusion in...

wiki says: 7° 18′ 48″ S, 72° 24′ 40″ E -7.313333, 72.411111 So make sure you've got that "-" in there. Although you may find landsat doesn't have the island in its database...? Should you end up needing another source and doing it the hard way, these Nokia Maps are pretty clean and even...

Well technically im not sure you are supposed to, I've had mixed messages in the past about non-commercial use of google earth. But anyway, I just used various screen grabs when I did it, and cut them together carefully. But for AU, the island is a single mesh, so it uses a single texture...

Just search "Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory" in google earth, that should find it. The google earth images have been done over 2 clearly separate passes by the sat. One side of the island is in cloud, the other is crystal clear. Unfortunately, the airfield is on the cloudy side...

Check out Diego Garcia. I earmarked it for a sister base to Ascension, but that aint ever gonna happen lol. So take a look, it's a pretty place, has an existing airbase to work from and is only about 7degrees from the equator. Diego Garcia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Good luck with...

Yeah I am aware that AU will not be stylistically to everyone's liking, but that is only half the project. The other half is the code base. Most of my work is cosmetic, so my taste obviously, but the code base will enable others to use all the base's functionality with their own meshes. I was...

Thanks for the other side of the coin there boyan. I'm still undecided. I know I'm not going to start using a fancy font on the taxiway/runway signage for example, but am still tempted for some others... It all comes down to a balance between sci-fi and sci-real. The XR/DG type vessels are...

Cheers gents. RF, Loru, I assume you mean the orange/blue TA sign wrt contrast?

new fonts... Yo folks, In an effort to get the general dev stuff back into this thread and away from the BETA thread, which should just be dealing with beta stuff, I have a new question for ya'll. I've started to play around with some new fonts around the base and would like some feedback...

Give them a taser or some traffic to play with, that should be fun. ;) Although... It is not just about "because we can", it's also about scientific discovery, exploration and understanding, of both the technology to do it and our ancestral genealogy. Although, doing things because we can has...

haha, I've been there! welcome to the procrastinators flying club. ;) Keep up the good work, and good luck.

But remember that the shuttle was capable of flying payloads up AND down, of having good cross-range ability on reentry, was reusable and looked awesome etc. So it's complexity made it capable of many more things than a disposable launcher. So it can't just be judged against the best criteria...

Aye, I've made 'trivial' issue for this, as I don't think it's worth loads of work on. I'm happy with two identical names occasionally being blurry. F9 is hardly a key feature wrt a base I think.

Can we have one called 'Wide_____' and the other called '_____awake'...? ;)
