Discovery STS-96...

[john71]

Very nice! But we should make a 128k Earth surface texture too...

[bh]

Ah... I don't have the wherewithall to make VTs... 16k is max I can do on my machine... Lol!

[john71]

I just finished my first 128k VT, from a 110k Moon global texture. I used only Gimp and IrfanView. It is 7GB and not very practical. A few pictures to show the quality of the 128k VT:

Amazing John... super!

[john71]

Thank you bh! I think that future Celestia releases should contain (optionally) 100-200 GB texture and star data, as modern games do.

Added after 4 hours 7 minutes:

Hi bc.
About your Discovery images, it looks much more detailed than your old release, am I wrong?
Have you edited it recently?

Ah..

This is extracted from Linuxman's recent ISS scenario.... Not yet released I think.

Is based on the NASA hr model (based on my older models).

I managed to extract all three shuttles in various configs.

Hi bh.
It is very nice, could you please show us some more images?
Thank you.

Sure...

Having trouble placing Dextre on the pallet midships... I'll work it out!
