Moon scenery

[dsawan]

Has any modder thought of doing the scenery of the moon for atmoshperic flights or what-if. Saw this shot today and thought if feasible in our sim as a what-if;just looks nice. Also,would work well with the release of the angel interceptor

I had thought about doing one, and I have some ways on how to do it. It will probably be a thing in the future.

SPACE 1999 vehicles for it too and Moonbase ALPHA hopefully.

I have changed the exposure of the SWUS terrain tiles, to get a Martian desert

You forgot the clouds. There's no cloud on Mars. Don't tell anyone!

I don't agree with that, and by way of example

might want to check with NASA on that one ... I've seen dozens of images from the rovers and other landers, and from obit, of clouds on Mars

Indeed,there are a lot of dust clouds ever present as its a windy planet...quite often see reddish clouds of sorts albeit thinly scattered

Challenge accepted, people! Hope you don't mind about the F-22 being used. It's all a proof of concept, but it's very promising. A new environmentsystem.ini is being worked on (hence the colors are off), with correct inclination and gravity values (it makes up for some fun physics). The terrain will only feature a small, real scale portion of the Moon, namely an area between Mare Crisium and Mare Smythii (full of interesting craters), stock SF2 terrain size of 1000km.

Maybe Barsoom will be next??? (how to do those ochre color sea beds....??? and the cities...as Burroghs described...hmmmm)

Here is a great channel on YouTube called Astrum and two of the videos plus links to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter pages.
