Vessel Mars 2020 Rover and Mars Helicopter Scout

[gattispilot]

Thanks. Here is the copter code and mesh,....

So one issue is when I apply hover the copter sinks to below the surface and then takes off.

 

[gattispilot]

So I download the hi res mars. And had to rest the height above ground.

Here it is landed. I might need some sort of brake to keep in form moving.

So when I restart it the copter jumps high and lands

Here is a test scn and files:

So on the rover Ctrl +space opens the dialogue to move the head,......

+/- keypad move it. 1/3 change heading 4/6 keypad change wheel rotation so you can move sideways,......

Copter using basic flight control. K get the rotors to spin

Added some crashed vessels:

but I can not get the copter to do right.

I tried a VB version and the copter just kept going up with no thrust applied.

Maybe because it is too light?

where is the link for the hi res Mars ? With brianj under the weather is there any one else who could do the EDL ?

here are the hi res textures:

Orbiter - Textures

orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk

Well someone do make the scout flyable

 

[Urwumpe]

Can you check the forces in Orbiter? Maybe you have something unaccounted for.

Here she is. I had to reset the ouchdowndown so she is above the terrain

The Perseverance rover had arrived at the Martian System and it's currently 1,028 miles away until it lands

 

[Jeremyxxx]

The rover is currently about 90,600 miles until it lands!

 

[Jeremyxxx]

Perseverance is currently 40 miles away from landing

 

[Gargantua2024]

Eight minutes to go!

 

[Jeremyxxx]

This just in, Perseverance has entered Mars' atmosphere.

 

[Jeremyxxx]

We have touchdown, Perseverance has landed.

 

[4throck]

Approximate landing site coordinates:
POS 77.4515390 18.4441770

Based on published images ( https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=38208.msg2193681#msg2193681 )
Matched it visually using my high resolution surface tiles for Jezero, should be accurate to within a few meters.

When I was helping to bring AMSO for Orbiter 2016 I noticed a problem to set vessels properly landed on a surface and there appears to be undocumented feature in the Orbiter that's critical. Value "10" must be passed to "arot.x"

VESSELSTATUS2 vs;
memset(&vs, 0, sizeof(vs));
vs.version = 2;
vs.rbody = hMars;
vs.status = 1;             // Landed
vs.arot.x = 10;            // <----- Undocumented feature "command code" to land on touchdown points !! IMPORTANT !!
vs.surf_lng = 1.234;
vs.surf_lat = 1.234;
vs.surf_hdg = 0.0;
hVessel->DefSetStateEx(&vs);

I notice the rover has some debug lines. But normal thrust commands +/- give her speed 2/8 select gear 1/3 turn 4/6 rotate. All Keypads. CTRL + space dialogue box for rover

How on earth (mars) did you get that information?
