Question Lunar landing sites without pads or buildings

[Shadow Addict]

I'm looking for detailed lunar landing sites that don't have any infrastructure so I can simulate Apollo-like landings. Are there any addons that will do this?

this addon has a quite nice surface base terrain mesh http://orbiter.mustard-fr.com/addons/hlv.php you could also use Orulex

AMSO?

 

[the.punk]

Yes. AMSO has very nice landing sites. And NASSP has some too. You also could use an base with an mesh and delete all buildings.

There is the Cupernicus crater on OH, it's a Space 1999 supply point, just delete the building mesh like the.punk said and your good to go.

Again, delete the buildings and you're set.

Oooh, yes, that's a very nice landing site. :thumbup:

Orulex with terrain collision turned on has served me well in the past. The terrain is often at an angle and almost always above the lunar "sea level" sphere, so you need the special Meshland MFD to be on so you see the height above the ground.

How do you turn on the terrain collision in orulex?,and whats meshland mfd.Thanks

Well, I would PM Artlav and ask him. I have an older, development version of Orulex, so I don't know if it still has these features.

Meshland is one of Artlav's wonderful inventions that allows you to land on terrain. It's a little buggy, but with Orulex and Meshland I landed Apollo 15 in a crater and drove the rover 3 miles uphill to the top of a crater rim and a towering mountaintop view of the landing site and the surrounding terrain. The LM was a little silver speck in the distance below. Awesome.

Sounds fun Andy44 I'll check for it.
