Made a trailer for my upcoming RSS/RO crewed Saturn mission cinematic

Cinematic trailer for the Fūjin Saturn mission I am using my custom Historian config (be sure to edit if you're playing RSS) and Zorg's TUFX config, and I do not do any other post-processing. I tried using Deferred but I got this strange bug where there is less ambient lighting outside of a square patch of terrain, so I uninstalled it. I am not sure what the default settings for Minimum Ambient Lighting originally were, but I do set it to be brighter for night screenshots.

[JAXA+] 2078-02-03 - The Fūjin Saturn Piloted Vehicle in Earth orbit 2082-01-09 (JST) - The SPV entering Saturn orbit using a gravity assist from Titan 2082-02-11 - Transfer to the Titan lander 2082-02-14 - The Aerial Titan Ascent Craft (ATAC) on Titan's surface (right to left: Erina Ienaga, Mikako Akamatsu, and Harumitsu Arimoto)

(I would have posted the crewed Earth departure a week ago, but the forum wasn't working at the time and I forgot. So this post will combine the Earth departure and Saturn arrival.) 2077-07-30 - The Fūjin Saturn Piloted Vehicle was assembled over the next several months by six H-ZA launches (consisting of the upper stage, the three sections of the Earth Departure Stage, and two refueling tankers), and one H-Z launch for the crewed section on February 2, 2078. The three crew members headed for Saturn were Erina Ienaga (pilot), Mikako Akamatsu (engineer), and Harumitsu Arimoto (scientist). The 5200-tonne SPV would have massed about 13000 tonnes if it used solid-core instead of liquid core nuclear engines. 2078-02-06 - The SPV left Earth in a three-phase departure burn from February 6 to February 8, using up almost 6700 m/s of Delta-v, and would use a gravity assist at Jupiter in 2079 to reach Saturn by 2082. 2079-09-24 - The Fūjin Saturn Piloted Vehicle made a fly-by of Jupiter (2.3 million kilometers away, past Callisto's orbit), using its gravity to reach Saturn faster. 2082-01-09 (JST) - The Fūjin SPV entered Saturn orbit using up almost 5000 m/s of Delta-v, timing its insertion burn with a Titan encounter to save approximately a kilometer per second. The Earth Departure Stage ran out of propellant and was jettisoned, leaving the Saturn Insertion/Escape Stage to do the rest. This left the SPV in an orbit around Saturn to encounter Titan again in February. A plane change maneuver is performed on January 20. 2082-02-11 - The SPV entered Titan orbit using two burns of its main liquid-core engines (the second burn only using about half of the engines), to position itself for a rendezvous with the Aerial Titan Ascent Craft using the auxilliary solid-cores. The Earth Arrival Vehicle undocked and transferred to the Titan lander on February 12 (JST); after the crew boarded, the EAV redocked with the SPV. 2082-02-14 - After waiting two days for better lighting conditions, the Aerial Titan Ascent Craft proceeded to de-orbit and enter Titan's atmosphere. Parachutes deployed after descending below the hazy organic clouds, and the craft landed about 800 meters from the habitat. Erina Ienaga, Mikako Akamatsu, and Harumitsu Arimoto climbed out onto the surface and planted the Hinomaru flag.

2077-04-10 - Afternoon on Titan

[JAXA+] 2076-11-06 - The Fujin Saturn Cargo Vehicle performing Saturn orbital insertion 2077-04-01 (04-02 JST) - Arrival at Titan 2077-04-06 - The Fujin surface habitat on Titan

2076-11-06 (11-07 JST) - The Fūjin Saturn Cargo Vehicle entered an elliptical orbit around Saturn, performing a plane change maneuver in January 2077 and arriving at Titan in April. 2077-04-05 - After entering a 1000-kilometer orbit on April 2 (JST), the Titan Habitat and Aerial Titan Ascent Craft were released from the SCV's transfer stage, which was relocated to a higher orbit. On the next day, the habitat deployed its deceleration brakes and de-orbited with two RL10 engines using methalox propellant, which were jettisoned after the burn. Due to the low gravity of the moon, Titan's atmosphere was very thick and effectively reached 600 kilometers into space. Entering from a low, circular orbit meant that no heat shield was needed, unlike other vehicles which entered from a hyperbolic orbit. As the habitat got to 300 km, atmospheric forces started to gently spin the craft, which was stopped by reaction control thrusters once it was falling vertically. After falling through the dense cloud layers, two large parachutes deployed a few kilometers above the surface, eventually slowing the habitat to a speed of 2 m/s before touching down on April 6. Long-range antennae were extended as the hab, along with the ascent craft in orbit, waited for the crew's expected arrival in 2082. Not only did the Titan habitat have a ground vehicle (the Titan Cruiser), it was also equipped with two Titan Analysis Container Kits for further scientific studies. 2077-04-10 - Afternoon on Titan

It has nothing to do with Scatterer because it's also happening on places without atmospheres like Iapetus.

I am currently in the process of doing a Titan mission in Real Solar System, and I wanted to use Deferred Rendering for a performance boost, but I found out when testing a Titan lander that only a square patch of land is displayed. Without Deferred, it looks normal. There appears to be something wrong with ambient lighting on the terrain when using Deferred.

[JAXA+] 2071-01-02 (JST) - The Fujin Saturn Cargo Vehicle is launched, to carry a surface habitat and ascent craft all the way to Titan orbit using efficient liquid-core nuclear engines (supplemented by smaller solid-core engines)

2071-01-01 (01-02 Japan Standard Time) - The entire Fūjin Saturn Cargo Vehicle was launched by a single H-Z 204XL rocket. With a total mass of 450 tonnes, the SCV would be able to push the Titan habitat and ascent craft all the way to arrive at Saturn with one stage using three liquid-core LE-LN nuclear engines (and three solid-core LE-N engines for smaller maneuvers). The ~7600 m/s departure maneuver, plus a few extra hundred m/s due to thrust not always being in the prograde direction, was split into three separate burns. After leaving Earth on January 4 (JST), it was scheduled to arrive in the Saturn system by 2076, and at Titan by 2077. Insertion into 400 km parking orbit After 1st departure burn 3rd departure burn

[JAXA+] Fujin Saturn mission plan 2066-01-05 - Relay satellites arrive at Saturn's moon Titan 2066-04-16 - Another set of relays arrives at Iapetus

The Fūjin Saturn mission, named after the Japanese god of the wind and counterpart to Raijin, was set to launch in the 2070s. It would involve landings on the moons of Titan and Iapetus, which are the only major moons outside of Saturn's radiation belts. The Saturn Cargo Vehicle would depart Earth in 2071 and deliver the Titan Habitation Module and the Aerial Titan Ascent Craft, itself comprised of the Saturnian Moons Lander and a Balloon Module using the same technology as on the Ame-no-Uzume Venus mission, while the Saturn Piloted Vehicle would leave Earth in 2078, taking advantage of a Jupiter gravity assist that aligns with Saturn about every 20 years. The interplanetary vehicles would use the new LE-LN engine*, a liquid-core nuclear thermal rocket engine with a specific impulse of 1400 seconds, surpassing the efficiency of the LE-N2 (NERVA II) engine at 850 seconds. Thus, the vehicle designs became about 2-3 times lighter. However, the thrust of each engine was lower (291.2 kN < 867 kN), so larger engine clusters were also needed. *Double-rescaled version of Lewis Research Center LNTR (originally 145.6 kN) 2060-08-22 (08-23 local time) - A series of DRTS-X relay satellites (19 to 21) was launched to Titan, arriving about five years later. (2065-07-14 - Saturn elliptical orbit insertion) (2066-01-05 - Titan orbit insertion; relay network deployed 1 day later) 2060-08-30 (08-31 local time) - Another batch of relays (DRTS-X 22 to 24) was launched to Iapetus to provide an extra signal boost at the distant moon. (2066-01-15 - Saturn elliptical orbit insertion) (2066-04-16 - Iapetus orbit insertion; relay network deployed 1 day later)

It is interesting to see this kind of gradual progression (that is what you named your tech tree after all) in a gas giant's moon system.

Two years ago, in KSP 1.10.1, I used AirPark during a Venus balloon mission in RSS/RO. KerBalloons was buggy and I had to edit the save file to have it start uninflated (otherwise the balloon would overheat blow up), but AirPark worked fine. But now, as I am planning to use balloons in an upcoming Titan mission in KSP 1.12.5, I am getting an error when I try to use AirPark. The error says: "Vessel landed - Error: the game thinks you've landed while you're actually flying. Revert to launch and try again."" (In this screenshot, I moved the spacecraft to a position 60 km above Titan using the Alt+F12 menu) When I created a quicksave and reloaded, the craft ended up 60 km below the surface, and immediately got destroyed. I am not sure why AirPark is not working in 1.12.5 (which I installed the version for) but worked in 1.10.1.
