Anybody know of a simulator out there that has a planetary mode where you can view the stars from the surface of Venus and Mars? It would have the longtitude and latitudes marked on the ground so you know where you are on the surface and allow you to select stars in the sky etc and get names and info on them. So far I see lots of simulators with Earth ground level view but not perspective of other planets from the ground level that also include lat and long surface marks as well as celestial sphere hours and dec lines.
thanks
 
Orbiter does most of that, minus being able to select stars, of course.
 
Yes, is Stellarium. To activate the Mars mode, you have to open the left side menu, click on Sky and viewing options window, then click Landscape, click on Mars, and further down in options must click Use Associated planet and position.
 
Thanks.
I already had Stellarium and missed how to do that. Thanks. I just need to see if I can increase the brightness of the constellation line or see if i can display long lat lines along ground some way to go with n s e w lables.
