I really hope that the launch into orbit is now seamless as far as Earth graphics are concerned. One of the big annoyances of SSM2007 for me was the way that the high resolution Florida suddenly transformed into a low resolution version at a certain altitude. That seriously destroys the sense of realism, and also messes up videos of the launch from an external perspective. This also needs to be the case when returning to Earth.

That will be fixed a bit (a lot) by the new global earth resolution that we use now on SSMS2. But we can't have a full earth resolution like the one we use just for Florida.

Right now the program is prepared to use 250 meter per pixel textures on the whole globe. All in all 3168 textures.
That means 12.6 gigabytes of textures and masks for the globe allone ;-P.

The textures resolution you see now is still over 8 times higher then the original high resolution for SSM2007.

Yes, I can appreciate that super high resolution textures are impossible for the entire globe. However, what I am hoping is that the transition from those textures to the 250 metre per pixel textures will be a lot smoother, and not so obvious

Really Awesome! *speechless*

Are we going to have sts-3 in the game and white sands?

Not for now, the current focus are all ISS missions. Maybe later.

All iss???!?! :,(

So, when SSMS2 will come out, it will have ISS mission only and not previous missions ??

Mogget · April 07, 2015, 10:02:38 AM

I would hope that all of the missions in SSM2007 would be included in SSMS2....

Hi, mogget!

I wouldn't doubt all of the missions in SSM2007 would be included in SSMS2. SSMS2 is the complete overhaul of SSM2007 with many new features!

Cheers,
Vincent

All SSMS 2007 missions will be included + new missions

Awesome, Cthulhus. That is good news!

Hi, cthulhus!

That is excellent news! I cannot wait until I go up to orbit with high inclination orbit and the launch from vandenburg AFB! Thanks!

Cheers,
Vincent

No missions from Vandenburg. No fiction mission for now.

Hi, cthulhus!

Got it! That makes sense! Thanks!
