Bug Astronauts under moon surface during Apollo EVA

[Thierry Lys]

I'm using NASSP 6.4.3 with NEP and there is a bug during the EVA on the moon in every Apollo mission. I can get two men out of the LEM and i can put the american flag on the moon. But the astonauts don't stand on the surface with the best textures but on the surface under so i just see their heads. However i can move them.

Futhermore when i push "v" the lunar rover appears, fly a moment and then land on the good surface. But i can't move it. When i push "v" again, it disappears and i have my astronauts with just the heads out of the floor.

I don't know if it is a problem due to a error when i unziped the files or if it is a real bug. I'm quite frustrated because the moon EVA is one of the best event of an Apollo mission. Than you for your help and your advise.

Hi Thierry Lys,

this is not really a bug but a missing feature, Orbiter doesn't provide "surface mesh to vessel" (and neither "vessel to vessel") collision support. The "still in development" new Project Apollo - NASSP 7 version (look here to test a beta version: http://nassp.sf.net) used Artlav's "Meshland" to fix that. Currently Artlav is working on a new version, which isn't available yet though, so stay tuned...

Cheers
