I used a colour height map from the internet. The colours were probably completely wrong, but I wasn’t worried about that, as I could edit the .png as necessary. I was only learning how to create any elevation tiles at all. When I converted the .elv tile back to a .png, the png it created seemed...

Been having problems creating elevation tiles. https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/kerbol-system.39716/post-579214 Any ideas?

Boy am I glad that microtextures exist... Here's Eeloo

Okay, completely losing my mind over this. Started making elevation tiles for Kerbin, but all I get are these ridges. The elevation .png is completely fine, but I just can't figure out what is causing this. I am using ele2png to convert the png to elv. These tiles are level 7. EDIT: Here is...

Did the rest of the bodies surface textures today. Having a hard time trying to figure out how to create the elevation tiles. Going to take a break over the weekend

Discovered yesterday that trying to fly in the Joolian system with n-body physics is practically impossible... Everything is just so close together

Gilly passing in front of Eve (Currently without atmosphere) Creating the specular map was not as hard as I expected. I also did Duna today, but I thought that the poles would look fine without specular reflections. They didn't, so I need to do the mask for Duna. Also experimenting with...

Deepstar for Orbiter 2016 has some cool Space Stations

Eve’s seas are made of ‘Explodium’. I think they are supposed to be liquid fuel The seas look practically exactly the same as the land, except that it reflects specularly As far as I know in orbiter, you can only make the specular reflections one colour, so it will look like purple water. I’ll...

Moho Eve is going to be a pain, as i have to create a specular map for it's oceans. For Kerbin and Laythe, this is easy, I just select the colour of the ocean and fill with white. However, Eve's surface is exactly the same colour as it's seas. I'll see what I can do...

Slowly coming along. Finally found a good source of High Res surface textures. I've decided to focus on the big stuff (putting all the planets in the correct places and with correct surface textures,) before doing all the small stuff. (Map MFD and elevation)

I spent this morning creating textures for Minmus, some surface tiles around the KSC, and being very confused as to why my my map of Kerbin for the Map MFD wasn't being used in game. The map MFD continues to use the Earth map, despite me actually deleting the file "EarthM" entirely, and trying...

Managed to fix the BMP issue, it was due to the terrible image converter I was using. Progress: Many issues. Kerbin is very low-res, not sure how I am going to fix this. Need higher res source images, and pltex only seems to do up to level 8. Perhaps just make surface tiles for areas such...

Okay, I've done the config files for the inner planets, and I've started trying to create a SURF .tree file for Kerbin. I'm taking the image file as a BMP, along with a specular reflection file (the black and white one) and I'm trying to pack them into a .tex file using "pltex". However, when I...

First question is, how do I edit the orbital parameters of a planet? Can't seem to find it in any .config file Never mind, found the documentation

I've started playing KSP a lot recently, and I thought that it would be cool to create the Kerbol system in orbiter. However, I'm not an expert on Orbiter's planet system, so if I need any help i'll post it here. I should be able to get the surface textures from...

Nice, just tested it out now. It's an amazing ship. The only thing I would say is that the "afterburner knob" is a little hard to see what position it is at, same with the attitude control reference. Superb work :hailprobe:

XR-2 in upper atmosphere - XR-2 Surfing at the rings of Saturn - SR-71-R Departing Phobos - DG

Thought this looked nice, DG flying over somewhere tropical...

Nice work. Don't feel like you need to rush, nothing good comes quickly anyway. (y)
