This add-on features realistic terrain for the Vallis Schröteri area near the Aristarchus crater on the Moon. It is presented in a way that you have a relatively large flat area (Orbiter limitation) where you can land and drive.
The area covered by terrain mesh is about 30x30km. Some surface features were placed to provide interesting destinations for EVAs, based on the actual geology of the region.The provided scenarios use AMSO to recreate the proposed Apollo 18 mission. They are generic and the orbital trajectories are not optimized regarding fuel or mission duration. Anyhow, I think I've remained within realistic parameters for a late Apollo mission. Letâs say after Apollo 17 all the hardware as updated and can perform a little bit better.
To give that impression, I'm including a CMS repaint with the white Skylab paint scheme. Thereâs also a small update to LC39 ground texture that now resembles the actual ground cover in the 1960/70s.
I've added some normal maps for the Saturn V rocket and the LEM 's gold foil, for the benefit of those using modern graphic clients.
Notice:Two AMSO textures are overwritten - the ground texture for KSC and the CSM is now the white "Skylab" version.Required: AMSO add-on.
