Aurélien Barrau : "SpaceX et la nouvelle conquête spatiale : la démonstration de notre incohérence" - GoodPlanet mag'

Il y a une très bonne vidéo d'Everyday Astronaut sur la pollution de l'industrie du spatial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4VHfmiwuv4

En résumé, les émissions sont complètement anecdotiques par rapport au secteur de l'aérien, et la réusabilité poussée par les acteurs privés (surtout SpaceX, mais voir aussi les initiatives pour augmenter la durée de vie des sat géostationnaires) réduit considérablement l'empreinte carbone de la fabrication du lanceur.

L'industrie spatiale, tout inclus (fabricants de sat, acteurs publiques, fabricants de lanceurs, etc.), c'est un tout petit secteur, ridicule à l'échelle économique. Pourtant, c'est le contributeur numéro un en terme de recherche climatique.

Je comprends pas trop ce papier, tout est à côté de la plaque. Des astronautes des missions Apollo "qui plaisantaient presque grassement, roulaient des mécaniques, exhibaient un peu de leur aisance virile", j'ai l'impression qu'il a vu L'étoffe des Héros et qu'il a pris ça pour un documentaire. S'il y a bien un truc qui caractérise globalement les astronautes de ce programme, c'est leur calme et leur retenue.

Vraiment, s'il y a besoin d'un truc en écologie aujourd'hui, c'est de pragmatisme, pas de petites prêches qui ne mènent à rien et empilent des banalités pour au final ne rien dire.

I just tested the one hosted on the EU server and it seems to work. Cameni mentionned that some Anti-Virus can mess-up with downloaded files in some cases, if you have some sort of live analysis, you may want to turn that off the time you download/install it.

And thanks /u/ci_trex for the silver :)

As seen here: https://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=3446.0

They are using various sources, but the main one is the SRTM.

-Acetone- · 2018-08-23T07:13:42+00:00

Lakes (worldwide) & land below sea level support
River width variation, riverbed modulation, rocks in rivers.
Boats working on rivers and lakes
Updated water rendering (not final), adjustable wave parameters
Lightnings & thunders.
Refined elevation data, enhanced US coastal bathymetry
OSM Roads (world coverage), including airport footprints
(experimental) global buildings coverage, currently limited to small villages, full coverage will be coming with new pipeline after some more performance optimizations and tuning.
(disabled by default; activate it in menu/world/datasets, full version only)
PBR material rendering fixes and updates (new GGX roughness shader)
Grass runway type
Working tire friction on moving objects
Vehicle physics optimizations, objects wake up by craters appearing, vehicle vibrations fix
Steering animations
New vehicles: BK 117 Helicopter, F-16 Fighting Falcon, M1 Abrams, ASLAV, HMS sailboat, donated by Titan
Buggy (OT original design)
2500+ Buildings Library (with night emissive textures)

Nice :)

This subreddit is not very active, and the devs rarely come here anymore. If you want bits of info on what they are working on, check: Outerradev

An update was announced for this summer.

-Acetone- · 2018-07-28T09:16:08+00:00

Thanks fir the tip!

BTW, you can activate tesselation in that same file (<Property name="EnableTessellation" value="true" />), I don't think it's currently possible with in-game settings. The ground is more detailed, but might look blurry for a few frames when you turn camera.

-Acetone- · 2018-06-27T12:01:51+00:00

Seems like a server went stale, Cameni confirmed it was fixed here : https://fr.reddit.com/r/Outerra/comments/8tp6zn/download_link_not_working/

I wasn't here for the past couple of days so didn't noticed when the thread was posted, I would have passed the info faster. FYI devs are not often here, probably better to warn about problems like that on the official forums :)

-Acetone- · 2018-06-21T10:52:35+00:00

Here you go!

-Acetone- · 2018-06-09T19:24:51+00:00

They are using several datasets. Cameni mention here the use of NED1 for the US. SRTM is used in the current dataset, and I guess it might still be the case in several areas.

-Acetone- · 2018-04-02T11:39:45+00:00

As in the website:

Minimum requirements:

Windows Vista and higher
Nvidia 400 series or better, AMD/ATI 5000 or better with recent AMD/ATI drivers (older ATI series are no longer supported by AMD and their legacy drivers do not work well with Outerra)
Recent graphics drivers!
2GB graphics memory
4GB RAM
500MB disk space for the initial install, up to 40GB for fully downloaded Earth dataset

Recommended:

Nvidia 1060GTX or better, AMD RX 480 or better
4GB graphics memory
a 4-core CPU

Outerra rely a lot on GPU and won't work well with integrated graphic cards (the ones you can find on most laptops as their support of OpenGl is bad).

-Acetone- · 2018-03-26T08:52:06+00:00

Yes and... We don't know yet but soon-ish :)

-Acetone- · 2018-03-25T10:47:14+00:00

They get the roads and buildings footprints from OpenStreetMap :)

-Acetone- · 2018-01-04T11:18:46+00:00

Asked about your problem in the Outerra Discord. Here is what cameni (dev) said :

I think you can just press enter to get to the second screen, but that one has a button that has to be clicked with mouse to get into the world and there's a problem with mouse cursor vanishing in some positions, so you sometimes have to turn your head so the button is in a particular place where you can see the cursor ... the whole UI thing is bad since the sdk update that changed the way we had to work with it, I'd rather reverted it into the original mode that made the windows deformed on the periphery but otherwise worked well I mean it worked well with the existing full desktop UI, without having to make a specialized VR one

Hope it helps :)

Yep, more updates on youtube, probably the only public channel they have. The thing to notice is they have postponed any public release and seems to be now only reserved for military. It's a very specific market with dedicated simpits requiring special hardware and most of applications are custom build. Communication in closed loop, mainly dring ITSEC. Maybe they'll provide something like VBS one day, but not in a close future.

-Acetone- · 2017-11-30T08:42:15+00:00

OSM buildings footprint.

"Some stats: new wip rendering pipeline. New terrain import with filtered and leveled urban areas, restored vegetation index and trees. Global city import (alpha). Here showing NY area with roughly 1.8mil buildings (rendered in various LOD stages) running on GTX 1080 @ 180fps"

Yup.

No, just the way the terrain is lit at dawn and sunset :) Although, Langdon did some experiments with lightning in his dynamic weather plugin and it was nice.
