My first Orbiter addon.
2005-01-16, 11:02 AM #1
I have been playing orbiter since september, Since its an open source game I thought I start modding for it. Orbiter is an advanced space simulater that puts all the REAL physics of space in. Thats right no sound, no doing f14 type manuvers. If you want to get to another planet you will have to calculate a holoman transfer. pretty advanced. Anyway Im working on the sirus star system. Sirus happens to be the closest and brightest star we see in the night sky. Im having a bit of some problems seing how the planet is close to the star there heh. Anyway enjoy.

That there's a real nice circle, boy howdy.

The circle actually isn't that nice. Turn on anti-aliasing when taking shots, or do so in the texture itself, for cribes' sake :/

Thats the second problem. The textures on the planets are not showing. Im getting help at the orbiter community forums for this issue and I am aware of a 3rd problem I noticed the planets are not in orbit and the star is pulling them in.

Showcasing you killing off entire planets, nice.

Whats that little rustbucket in front?
"Whats that for?" "Thats the machine that goes 'ping'" PING!
Q. How many testers does it take to change a light bulb?
A. We just noticed the room was dark; we don't actually fix the problems.
MCMF forever.
