OHM Tycho mesh

Author: 4th rock

Tycho mesh and surface textures in Orbiter format. 

[FONT=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]Already converted to Orbiter mesh format, with alpha blended textures and correct positioning. The supplied scenario will place a DeltaGlider at the point where the mesh intersects the default orbiter zero altitude.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]I failed to get consistent results with normalmaps for the mesh, and also couldn't get any good textures with no shadows. So I'm releasing this as is, so that other may correct this problems, improve it or use it for their add-ons. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]

[FONT=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]Free to use in the context of Orbiter and associated add-ons. Give proper credit.[/FONT]

It looks like your scenario file has tycho listed as a vessel...

tycho:tycho
  STATUS Landed Moon
  POS -11.4596070 -43.7000000
  HEADING 0.00
  AFCMODE 7
  NAVFREQ 0 0
END
END_SHIPS

...but the rar file does not come with a tycho.cfg file in the Config\Vessels directory, so the scenario ends with a CTD when you try to load it.

Also what is this?

BEGIN_uap
END

Is that for some other MFD or something?

UAP is Universal Autopilots, an MFD by Artlav. If you don't have it, Orbiter will not parse that line, and it can be safely ignored or deleted as you wish.

Easy fix:

BASE-V2.0
Name = Tycho
Location = -11.6129 -43.242199
Size = 1000
ObjectSize = 100
MAPOBJECTSTOSPHERE = TRUE

BEGIN_NAVBEACON
END_NAVBEACON

BEGIN_OBJECTLIST

MESH
	FILE tycho\tycho
	POS 3530 12.647 5783
	SCALE 0.8545 0.8545 0.8545
	ROT 360
	SHADOW
	OWNMATERIAL
END
END_OBJECTLIST

BEGIN_SURFTILELIST
END_SURFTILELIST

I always forget the config files!
I've uploaded a corrected version, but here it is anyway.

In config\vessels\ create a tycho.cfg with:

MeshName = tycho\tycho
Size = 120000
Mass = 11300 ; empty mass [kg] : max recommended mass=12000
MaxFuel = 0  ; max fuel mass [kg]
Isp = 0        ; fuel specific impulse [m/s]
MaxMainThrust = 0
MaxRetroThrust = 0
MaxHoverThrust = 0
MaxAttitudeThrust = 0
CameraOffset = 0.0 .0 0.0
CW = 0.194 0.189 0.470
LiftFactor = 0.0
CrossSections = 7.060448  7.060448  14.769404 
EnableFocus = true
TouchdownPoints = 0 -1.296 3.024  -1.217 -1.296 -3.024    1.217 -1.296 -3.024

As for the rest, I already explained that this is not a proper add-on, it's a resource for developers ;-)
You get the situation file that makes it work, straight out of my Orbiter. And the mesh is configured as a spacecraft not to mess your Orbiter installs.
Since I'm using UAP, you get references to that.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

It's a nice addon regardless -- I now have the bases for Apollo 18, 19, and 20!

Looks and works great, 4throck, thanks for posting! :thumbup:

 

[4throck]

Great that it is useful :thumbup:

Wasn't Tycho the place of a certain anomaly ?

(I'm just giving you some ideas for scenarios...)

Great one !
