 What a lovely moon tonight..........  :smile:

Earth rise


Sun set, moon rise


Solar eclipse


Crescent Moon


8k diffuse albedo and 4k normal map




Moon rise over the Himalayas

Ok copied over. But unfortunately, this one can't be deleted......

Well, considering the last set of pictures is from the Uriah's texture pack,, I guess it's ok if it stays here

Talkeetna Update.  :smile:

 

Quoted from Acetone:

 

Finally managed to clean up Talkeetna airport. You can now see Rudeboy's buildings in all their glory

Some views of the new Apache:

 

ADF finder (no Canvas support yet, so a trick is used here to make some elements of the MFD's dynamics).

 

 

Some of these bad boys at Gray AAF (WA state).

 

Ouch. Some people are not waiting for Outerra to be "finished" to start work on their projects. Using features from the latest update, a user demonstrates his "Eve World" mod, and some serious firepower.

The detail is amazing !

Uriah and KW71 are cooking an awesome gift for the Outerra community with this Apache Longbow, but as everybody knows, a gift is nothing without gift wrap.

I already mentioned I was working on something, but here are some details. 
Joint Base Lewis–McChord is a US military base located in WA state, south of Seattle. The scenery was supposed to includes the Gray AAF airfield shape only, but things went wild and... 
Well let's say it's larger now. 
My plan is to keep working on it until the full base and surroundings are covered. All models are custom, made by M7, KW71 and Uriah. 

 

View of the main airport






South area, Mt Rainier in the background (where one of the OT default scenery is located)


North area, lots of houses, area still WIP


Lakes are custom models too


The nice freeway overpass created by KW71 just for the scenery 


And finally, some fine details (KW71's work too). Custom markings 

A new one:

Step by step........  :smile:

AWESOME!

Meanwhile Uriahs Aerokinetics mod also shows some other tricks.

 

Quoted from Uriah.

 

The video below shows a short simulation of the Boeing X-37B OTV in prograde equatorial Low Earth Orbit with an apogee of 128 miles and perigee of 99 miles. It demonstrates pitch maneuvers and attitude hold with the Reaction Control System thrusters, and a retrograde deorbit burn in preparation for reentry with the AR2-3 main engine. I have still yet to land the X-37B on a runway, but that is mostly due to the complexity of calculating the orbital parameters for the deorbit burn, reentry and navigation to the final approach, and less to do with the flight model itself. I have proven it can successfully reenter the atmosphere and achieve the glide slope necessary for a landing.
