Space Shuttle Repaint Ideas
16.01.2007 at 09:50:20
 
OK I know that the Captainsim forums have quite alot of talented repainters (Dax! Where are you for the Space Shuttle?!?  Grin) Here are some interesting repaint ideas for the Space Shuttle to think about:

Moonraker.  Everyone knows this one!  Cheesy

STS-200 Daedalus. Space Shuttle seen in the movie, "Space Cowboys". Wink

These would be great for re-enacting the movies... I can see multiplayer flights with Ikon and STS-200 Daedalus now.  Grin  Wink

well I have little desire for ficticious repaints, but whatever floats your boat.

The Captainsim model already looks nice.  Some here have complained that the various external marking schemes aren't correct.  Well friends, they changed over the years.  Numerous times.  So to be correct in such assessment you have to pick a year.  Early flights featured tons of the white tiles, instead of the thermal blankets.  Nowadays there aren't many white tiles to be seen, it's almost all thermal blankets.   Captainsim chose to skin all 6 models with the same late-model thermal blanket skin.  Enterprise didn't even have thermal blanket or tiles.  Well, it had a few tiles, just to test how well they stuck on.  But this is nit-picking.  Overall, the BEST visual model of the shuttle I have seen.  I just wish I could get more than 13fps in FSX.  

And why does everything studder when you play back your landings?  Hasn't Microsoft found a solution to that yet?  Anyone know?

Or with some boosters and extra wings, the Armageddon X-71

Just realised that it is still on sale so I got the FS9 version.  Watch out for repaints in the near future.

Hey Dax, these are some repaints I made for the shuttle in Orbiter. Think you could FSX them (or FS2004 them)?
