Advanced Question Quick Question about Textures

[rlshayes]

Hey everyone.

I just downloaded the latest beta version of Orbiter and wanted to know something about textures.

I downloaded the Level 11/14 earth textures and wondered what level does the sim come with as standard and can you just have level 10 or do you also need 9,8,7 etc.

I am looking for level 11 moon textures but cannot find them. Anyone know where I can get hold of these.

Thanks for your help

Not finalised yet, but probably up to level 8 in base package, and higher resolutions as additional packages.

and can you just have level 10 or do you also need 9,8,7 etc.

Resolution n requires all lower resolutions 1 to n-1. Up to level 8 the textures are global (covering the entire planet). From 9 and beyond, texture resolutions can be locally varying (but even so, any area covered by resolution level n must also provide all resolutions below. This is a consequence of the quadtree subdivision algorithm).

I am looking for level 11 moon textures but cannot find them. Anyone know where I can get hold of these.

Edit: checking this, I'm not sure the link for the moon texture is actually working.

I tried to download the L 11 Earth textures but the link on Source Forge wasn't working. Is there some other place to get them?

I have a BitTorrent running now with "Moon090730_L11.zip"(671MB) on it, if that is the one you need? Has all the others from Stableit.org also, except "Earth091124_11_14.zip(300MB) which is downloading now, should be ready by 08:00.
