New Release Detailed Vesta v1

[Cahethel]

Hi, people! I just launched my first addon, it's Vesta, now more realistic than in previous addons. I could say a few words about it, but I'll let the images talk for themselves:

All I have to add, unfortunately, is that it's still not landable (above the mesh), but it's the next thing in my list of improvements.

(And again, this is my first addon, be kind and give advices at will :thumbup

That is a nice looking mesh!

The problem with non-spherical celbodies being unlandable stems from the Orbiter core. Without roundabout hacks, it cannot be done.

We've gotta thank JPL for that, all I did was simplifying the 3d model they released as much as I could to make it computer friendly without losing "eye candyness", but thanks

Unfortunately... but I'm not giving up yet, I think I'm gonna try my hand at Meshland.

If you find a nice and smooth place on the mesh, make the size of the planet (in the config file) just at the same elevation so that you can land there without going through or above the mesh.

To make it clear for people where the special spot is, make a base there. It's not important with special features like hangars and landing pads, just so that we can find the landing spot in the Map MFD.


Other than that, great mesh! I guess I have to travel to Vesta in the near future, when there actually is something to travel for. :thumbup:

Yes, put a base on it. Even if you get meshland to work, the base will be useful for people that don't have it running. At the very least, add a scenario with a DG landed on that place

Land on Vesta

In order to touch down on the add-on Vesta, you have add this to the file Sol.cfg, like a planet or a moon orbiting the Sun, and create a base there, in a flat place (like as a heliport).
To explain better, see how it is configured [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3782"]1998 KY26 Base V1.01[/ame], an add-on of Asteroid Pack 1.00.

With regard to your add-on, congratulations on your first add-on!
Greetings.
