Space levels in Descent 2

It is possible to make a space/outside level, it just takes a lot of work and skill, even the best d1/d2 level makers may find it difficult to make such levels. Last summer I made a crappy space level out of DLE XP, wasn't very good though and its gone cause I had to format my computer. Another unfortunate thing is I've not used DLEXP for quite awile now but I plan to start using it again and get my skills back.

After I make the space level I will post it on my website. BTW if anybody wants to make any space/outside levels for Descent 1-2 post it here, I would really love to see them.

I don't think such a thing is even possible. Even so the Descent 2 engine wasn't built for any thing like that. It wouldnâ??t feel like youâ??re flying in outer space, just one big cube with wallpaper.

This might suggest otherwise.

If you're very careful, you can get it to look at least somewhat like that without breaking the effect. It wasn't entirely out in space, but in the Space Station tracks I built for Lobber's Solar Marathon project I managed to get a reasonable perspective appearance to work through the windows (although it wasn't perfect - the cubes can't be infinitely large).
