Orbiter Spaceport

This year I released the final versions of my textures for the Mercury and Gemini addons. It's compatible with the latest add-ons and features normal and reflection maps for extra details. Project Gemini repaint v2 (13-11-15) Gemini spacecraft:  Complete overhead and side control panel textures Cleaned up VC and doors Normalmaps for graphic clients. Agena Docking target Improved Agena target textures Normal and reflection maps. Mercury Rockets Updated textures for the rockets used in the Mercury Program. Same as with the previous update, but with now with normal and specular maps added. Titan II repaint Adds normal maps to the improved Titan textures, already avaliable on previous Gemini repaints. Compatible with Project Gemini and CVEL Titans.

Here's a try at recreating one of the proposed ESA Columbus space station configurations. It's based around my ESA Man Tended Free-Flyer add-on, with the addition of two modules, extra solar panels, a radiator and a robotic arm. To create this I'm using the excellent  Space Station Building Blocks  add-on by bregburch , with my own texture repaints to match the ESA hardware. In general the scaling is consistent and the look matches the late early 90's time frame. This specific configuration is based on a concept proposed by British Aerospace Ltd. (BAe) in 1990. In the future I'll try to recreate other configurations, as they make interesting destinations for the Hermes Shuttle...

Space:1999 Eagle repaint (10-02-06) by 4throck These are replacement high resolution textures for several Eagle transporter addons. As most versions use the same meshes, this addon can be used with many versions of the Eagle. It will give the most popular Eagle addons for Orbiter space simulator a consistent look. All textures were sourced from photos of the original studio models and feature fine detailing. Also, Moonbase Alpha's landing pads and walls were updated, again based on screenshots from the series and model photos Please backup you original textures because they will be overwritten. Download from Orbiter Hangar here .

Been having fun repainting the Eagles from Space:1999 Orbiter meshes with textures from the original models used on the series. A great level of detail is possible but the spacecraft start to look as what they are in reality, just models! I'm working on all Eagle variants and were are some images:

Finally released the Project Gemini updated realistic textures add-on for Orbiter Space Simulator! Add-on Description: Photo-real texture repaint for the magnificent Project Gemini add-on based on actual photos. Texture files only, no meshes or other new files are included. Update includes: High resolution (2048x2048) Titan rocket Better Agena docking target texture Improved virtual cockpit detailed control panels Enjoy! Get it here. (This repaint doesn't include the work in progress capsule repaint you see in previous posts, as they are very rough and only look good from some angles)

Photo-real textures for Project Mercury released After months of work, all texturing (Mercury capsules, Redstone and Atlas rockets) is finished. Follow the link bellow and get it from Orbiter Hangar. Photo-real texture repaint for the magnificent Project Mercury add-on for Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator, based on actual photos. Texture files only, no meshes or other new files required. Update includes: Mercury capsule Bolts and ridges were counted for an actual match as good as the mesh allows. The MA-9 capsule (Freedom 7 II) texture (merc_Freedom7II.dds) is now unmarked, so that it can be used to simulate hypothetical further Mercury flights. Redstone rocket The resolution is now 512x2048 and the rocket is detailed with bolts, metal plaques, etc. Atlas rocket 512x2048 texture with fine details. Download it from Orbiter Hangar ( http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4000 )

I've been updating the Mercury Atlas rocket textures. It hard to get the right look, as the rocket is basically a made of shiny metal. For now I like the general look, but the horizontal structure lines are to visible. Also, one screen shot of the Aurora 7 capsule.

Some screenshots of the almost complete Mercury capsule repaint. Just a few details to go!

Texture repaint Orbiter add-on. High resolution photo-real accurate detailed textures for the MIR space station complex. Shows the station with the effects of exposure to space environment, with consistent discoloration based on photos. Solar panels, base module and radiators are very detailed (>1024 pixels). Thermal blankets are 2048 pixel to show small scale fabric texture. High resolution accurate detailed textures for the MIR space station base module. Shows the station base module after launch, before the effects of exposure to space environment. Solar panels and base module are very detailed (>1024 pixels). Thermal blankets are 2048 pixel to show small scale fabric texture. This repaint is available for the "Mir Space Station v.1.3" and "Proton Launch Vehicle v...

Updated photo-realistic textures for Skylab, created from the best available photos. Focus was on solar panel textures, that are now of higher resolution and with better detail on the back side. Texture repaint only, the "Skylab1973v2.1" or "Skylab1980" add-ons by "usonian" are required. Download from Orbiter Hangar
