Question Searching for a plugin...

[JonnyBGoode]

There used to be a plugin that kicked up lunar dust when you landed. I remember someone creating it around the same time as Moonbase Alpha, to make that scenario more "realistic". I can't find any reference to it anymore in this forum or at Orbithangar. Anyone know where I might find it, and if it still works?

So included in this pack [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3508"]Computerex Add-on Pack[/ame] is 'orbHoverDust', compiled for 2006 though. I made unsuccessful code-noob-attempts to compile it for both 2016 and 2010. It would need modifying to reference altitude above surface rather than mean radius (get Altitude(AltitudeMode,) etc).

There's another [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4557"]Moon dust[/ame] which seems a bit of a hack as it adds a very thin atmosphere to the moon, causing engines to display particle streams. With 2016 I don;t think this would be too smart due to the new terrain support.

I think the second one was the one I was thinking of. Thanks!

Though I agree, adding an atmo to the Moon is a bit of a hack.

Regarding dust/smoke/effects during landing in general... I believe no addons will display them correctly, as long as this will not be fixed:
