Hi there

I've got a couple mission packs I'm running through for fun and challenge, namely OFSS and Shuttle Fleet scenarios.. All of these take place in LEO.. I'm wondering what is the best/highest res Earth textures to use for v2006P1 ?? I'm searching through orbithangar but only finding hi -res earth's that are listed against earlier versions of orbiter..

Can anyone recommend the best / most stable hi-res earth to use w/ 2006P1 that (hopefully) won't break anything?
 
I'd probably recommend Seth Eden's lvl 10 Earth textures (found here) since they look pretty good from LEO
 
I get an internal error (500) on the Deimos files. I myself grabbed the L10 Earth L10, Mars and Phobos files.
 
I notice he has an L14 version of earth on that site too Woo.. I'll try that out as well.. I've got a monster video card in this rig so hopefully it can handle it :)
 
I think to use the L14 textures you might need to modify the Earth.cfg file or something like that. I could be wrong though. I know the L10 don't need modification.

Edit to add:
Thanks for the Info DaveS. I'm sticking with the L10 stuff for now then.

L14 is only for Orbiter2010. Max res for Orbiter2006 is L10.
 
thanks for the tip.. I'll try the L14 on my 2009 beta install
