Looks like the radiators are on the wrong side of the bay doors. :huh:

Good job on the effects, though.

Yeah that's a texture glitch i keep getting. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

 

[Donamy]

A little adventure of mine, though I managed to get both to the Moon with an N-1 for each (and some cheating ) wasn't able to make it back ('Cause I don't know how to, and UAP won't do that :lol

I plan to finish it this Winter, Autumn will be dedicated to the Sigma rockets (that learn me code tricks I'm going to need for the quite complex Lunar Lander project).

just trying a few more effects in GIMP. toned it down a little. what do you think?

More lens flare! Not too much, but at that angle there should be a large amount of lens flare. Otherwise, it looks sweet.

Any idea how to tone down the lens flare effect in GIMP? When i put lens flare in, it just ruins the picture.

Alright, here is the new version.

Alright, here is the new version.

Are you using default SRB exhaust textures or something different?

I am using your SRB Textures with a few Lighting effects in GIMP.

I thought lens flare was the result of less than quality lenses?

That's true but...

Deliberate use

A lens flare is often deliberately used to invoke a sense of drama. A lens flare is also useful when added to an artificial or modified image composition because it adds a sense of realism, implying that the image is an un-edited original photograph of a "real life" scene.
For both of these reasons (implying realism and/or drama) artificial lens flare is a common effect in various graphics editing programs, although its use can be a point of contention among professional graphic designers.[1] Lens flare was one of the first special effects developed for computer graphics because it can be imitated using relatively simple means. Basic flare-like effects, for instance in computer and video games, can be obtained using static or animated starburst, ring, and disc textures that are moved according to the position of the light source.[2] More sophisticated rendering techniques have been developed based on ray tracing[3] or photon mapping.[4]
Lens flare was typically avoided by Hollywood cinematographers, but when filming Easy Rider, Laszlo Kovacs was forced to jury-rig a camera car for his Arriflex, which resulted in numerous lens flares as he shot motorcycle footage against Southwestern U.S. landscapes.[5]
JJ Abrams, the director of the 2009 version of Star Trek, used this technique. "I wanted a visual system that felt unique. I know there are certain shots where even I watch and think, "Oh that's ridiculous, that was too many." But I love the idea that the future was so bright it couldn't be contained in the frame."[6]
David Boyd, the director of photography of the sci-fi Firefly series, desired this style so much (harking back to 1970s television), that he sent back the cutting-edge lenses which reduced lens flare in exchange for cheaper ones.[7]

Alright, here is the new version.

You also may want to add the white disk glow, of the 3 SSMEs.

After of month or 2 of hearing about people using BaseSync MFD and Aerobrake MFD to reenter and land, I thought I would give it a try myself with the XR2. I selected Habana as my target and did the deorbit burn. I was spot on, but had to do a couple S-turns to bleed off energy. I managed to keep dot on habana in the map mfd. When I finally came out of the flames of reentry, I was 30 Kilometers over Habana exactly. I performed the HAC turns by myself. When I was lined up with the runway, I was at 150 m\s?, perfectly lined up. I touched down at 0.3 m\s made wheelstop. Here are the pics.
