Moonraker

Here is it folks:

The Spaceshuttle Moonraker as seen in 007 James Bond Moonraker with friendly assistance of the Orbiter Spaceflightsimulator comunity. Have a look at these beautiful 2048x2048 textures:













Here are some comments to this model from some members of bcfiles.com:

That's a pretty awesome idea!

#2 - WOW!!! - Posted by: jabberman (Member) on 03-21-2009 at 15:58

A Space Shuttle!!! Damn! All you need to do now is to whip up textures for the REAL Shuttles. That. would. Be. SWEET!

I never thought I would see a good orbiter model for Bridge Commander.

Excellent work.

A few fuel tanks, a MVAM script and real shuttle registeries would be awesome for this now.

The second I saw this I was like, "OMG, NO WAY!"
A warp capable space shuttle...next gen in Human exploration, I wouldn't be surprised if NASA stole this from you to complete the 'Star Trek' effect in real world science. The cell phone, the microchip, the warp core, etc. so on and so forth...

Without a doubt, downloading this now!

asside from the name being reversed on both sides somehow, this is an amazing model, Real shuttle textures would be awesome

I'd like to deicate this mod to the memory of Brian the Space Bat.

Although I had no part in the construction of this mod, It reminded me of Brian, who died clinging onto the fuel tank of the 'Discovery' orbiter on 15th March 2009.

Godspeed, Space Bat.

It seems too big though.

And the comment that ACES_HIGH posted is true aswell.

Sir Hugo Drax would be proud

I like it

Many thanks goes to Michael_gr, Donany (modelers) and Dennis (textures).

I'm planning to re-enact the famous spacebattle scene in Moonraker for ST:BC....
