Some screenshots of my upcoming mod: Mirage.

Mirage is some tooling that I created to support my rebuild of our real solar system, Sol. It offloads most of the PQS work that's typically done on the CPU to GPU based subdivision and sampling. Additionally it also utilizes a from-scratch virtual texturing system, with offline resolutions from 1k to 128k. For texture resolutions higher than 128k, Mirage uses a web based tile ingestion system that automatically bakes tiles to Mirage's cubemap format and saves them on disk, allowing users to move offline after they've downloaded their region of interest.

Why can't I rescale some BDB parts?

I downloaded tweakscale rescaled via CKAN, and I can rescale some parts, such as this interstage. But if I try to rescale the Voyager Mars heat shield it won't let me.
