Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk_cuDp3pY4 I've not watched it in full, but it seems to be Marik summarizing his old arguments from years ago, and adding in the odd theories from @Zaine M. from https://www.metabunk.org/threads/some-refinements-to-the-gimbal-sim.12590/ (and maybe...

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_UjBMIzNo Launching soon (hopefully). Human's first trip to the Moon (orbit only) for 50 years. What will be interesting will be the reaction of the "space is fake", "Earth is flat", and to a degree "People never went to the moon" people.

drone sighting that temporarily raised alarms at one of the United States Air Force's largest and most strategic airfields earlier this month was more extensive, and potentially more dangerous, than first reported, according to a confidential internal briefing document reviewed by ABC News...

Sitrec version 1 just had a hard-coded list of sitches, which is still there under Sitrec/Legacy sitches. Sitrec 2.0 (or rather 2.33.1+) allows users to save their own sitches, but it lacked a mechanism for people to browse existing sitches. So I added a "Featured" label to the sitch browser...

Previously, Sitrec URLs looked like: https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=https://sitrec.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1/Giddierone%20Contrail/20260303_003228.js Now they look like: https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/Giddierone%20Contrail/20260303_003228.js or optionally...

The old "Open" and "Open (A-Z)" drop downs are gone, replaced by a modern file browser that displays your saved sitches in a list or grid format, with thumbnails. You can search this, and change the sort order and grid layout. I'm trying to get older sitches to have their thumbnails...

Planes leave contrails that move with the wind. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=https://sitrec.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1/Giddierone%20Contrail/20260303_003228.js Should be fairly self-explanatory. Right-click on a track and then edit the contrail options. Set the wind in physics...

There's no contrail rendering yet. Although it does not sound too difficult with a single wind vector. Is Sitrec very slow on your Mac?

On 28 February 2026, Israel and the United States launched a joint attack on various targets in Iran. The operation, codenamed Roaring Lion (Hebrew: מִבְצַע שְׁאָגַת הָאֲרִי, romanized: Mivtsá She'agát Ha'arí) by Israel, and Operation Epic Fury by the United States Department of Defense, began...

View from Lancaster, CA, looking East, at a very exact 5:47:26 PST this morning. Here's the view from that phone. Source: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Opmn-RJ3pwlFOY-qGVqpsAlSKHFpiew-/view?usp=drivesdk Seems to move too fast to be a contrail. It looks very much like a rocket. But which...

This is a limited rollout of this feature. Enabled for mostly senior members and some heavy users. Both the photorealistic buildings and the flat-shaded buildings are free to a small degree, but if a lot of people start looking at a site, it could get expensive (for me). So let's just see how it...

As part of my work on doing full 3D building support, I found that I needed to change the globe model to be more accurate. Previously, I was using a simple sphere, and so altitudes were simply heights above that sphere. The Earth, of course, is an oblate spheroid, an ellipse with an imperfectly...

The Federal Aviation Administration issued unexplained notices late Tuesday closing airspace over El Paso and a large patch of southern New Mexico west of Santa Teresa for 10 days. El Paso International Airport is closed to all flights, the city said. The orders close off all air travel in the...

Under the view menu you can now toggle the display of a frame counter, video time, sim time, in variosu formats. You can position them within the video view. This also works in the stand-alone video viewer. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?sitch=video

I now use a 3D illuminated model of the Moon to accurately display the phase. I also added a "Celestial Lock" to the Camera -> Camera Heading, to let you lock the camera to point at a particular celestial body.

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slA7aV2Mags I've started a series of tutorial videos to get people more quickly up to speed with using Sitrec. The above one on the user Interface should be the starting point (even if you've used Sitrec before, there's several useful features) Source...

I've updated Sitrec to handle most coordinate formats, including MGRS (Military Grid). So any of the following formats should work if you paste it in the lookup box. 37S CR 11926 9292332.45836.999 37SCR119269292332.45836.999 37scr119269292332.45836.999 18SUJ233739.169-77.043...

Press "N" to toggle the notes view (also at the top of the show/hide menu) Just a simple text box, URLs should be converted to clickable links. It gets saved. I recommend adding in as much info as possible to the text box for later reference. If there's a Metabunk thread, then you can link to it.
