The pixelized city show up while in scaled spaced i.e in orbit 160km+. Do you want me to post a picture showing what I mean. BTW thank you for all your work. What you do is beyond me.

Multiple the stock delta V values by sqrt(10). Yeah I have been lazy to create a delta V map.

Just tested your latest drop. So much better. I have only one request. The city light textures are really pixelated. Do you think it would be possible to add noise similar to what you did for the cloud textures.

Thanks for the compliment. The reason Duna's atmosphere is 'thick" is due to two factors. The gravity is low so its not pulling in the atmosphere close to the planet. The second factor is the atmosphere of Duna is pretty warm so the gas molecules have a lot of energy to travel far. For Duna which is thin enough to model as a isothermal atmosphere you get H=RT/g which for Duna comes out to be around ~16. BTW Jool is even more extreme. As Starwaster pointed out the default heat shields will not protect you in any way. P.S One day I need to develop the code to calculate all this stuff on the fly.

Sorry I have been busy with work and 1.1.3 didn't work well on my Linux system. Almost finished updated this mod to KSP 1.2. Still missing KSCSwitcher as well but will not delay the upcoming release.

Hello Your work is amazing. I'm the maintainer of the 10xKerbol mod and I like to ask your permission to your textures. Only reason to not use your mod along side mine is that the surfaces of the planets have been changed due to the rescaling.

That photo is from the EVE terrain days. I need to up that album. Sorry it was misleading. I wish Kopernicus could do textures with Scaled Space. Strange RSS doesn't like my setup. What packages are you testing against for RVE?

Lime Green? Can you post a picture please.

On Spacedock. Okay I will look into it.

Yep Kopernicus can use the RVE textures. Feel free to grab my settings from the 10xKerbol mod. As I posted the city textures have trouble blending with the terrain texture tho. The steep setting need more work but it looks better than the default. As for multiple texture levels I have no idea. Something worth trying :-)

New 6.2.0 release. Didn't wait for the next EVE release so if you want pretty clouds you need the latest EVE which is the pre-release 1.1-3 for this to work. This is the eye candy update. Better clouds and we are back to using the RVE terrain textures for Kerbin so it looks so much better.

Are you using the latest EVE? Their was some problem with the newer EVE with the last 10xKerbol package. I have this fixed in the latest version but haven't released since I was waiting for an offical EVE release. Hmmm, perhaps I should do a release and make a note about using the pre-release

Here is a short video of my latest work. Waiting until the next version of EVE is release to release this. Latest 10xKerbol test

Found it. This is a idea for EVE at this time. Vector3d rad = new Vector3d (Math.Cos (lat) * Math.Cos (lon) , Math.Sin (lat) , Math.Cos (lat) * Math.Sin (lon)); double elevation = b.pqsController.GetSurfaceHeight (rad) - b.pqsController.radius;

Hi rbray89 I pulled your latest pre-release tag to try it out and so far its pretty awesome. I only see one small issues. Using Kopernicus I replaced the terrain texture and it blends with the city textures which results in this. Is their any way to resolve this? Also I have a question about when clouds show up. Currently the clouds at the particle level are more dense that what appears from orbit. Basically from orbit the area will look clear but when I zoom in clouds with appear. Can you control at what alpha level clouds in the 2D layer is needed to make volumetric clouds appear at?

Yep that did it. Thank you.

Nope. Its _GlobalOceanAlpha = 0.1. Should I increase it?

I can do better. Here is a video showing the problem : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8f_OOKzg1cATZxoIRR2BWA As for the setting and their meaning. I just started playing with those settings and if you look at the video you can tell I got the settings wrong. I did post on the Kopernicus mailing list asking what those fields mean.

Nathan I have one question that you most likely know the answer. Is their a way to know the terrain altitude above sea level based on the coordinates on a planet? I see normally mods use the ActiveVessel altitude to determine distance above the terrain. In this case I like to be able to determine this based on a global position instead. Is this possible?

Okay. Didn't mean to sound pushy. Just shows how inexperience I'm at with working the settings.

Time to report on a update of what I'm working on. The next update will need the latest version of Eve. I addd some tweaks posted in the Eve form to make the clouds look a lot more real. Also looking at changing Kerbin surface textures to match closer to what RVE uses. This can be done with Kopernicus but I discovered using this exposes a bug in the Scatter mod. I also will added small improvements to the rim handling for Kerbin as well. Yeah I have had no luck fixing that problem

Hi blackrack So I found the most unusual bug which I doubt that anyone has run into. So using Kopernicus I was playing around with adding Materials to the PQS setup for Kerbin and I noticed your ocean shaders got disabled. Also the low texture I attempted to replace was spawn across the ocean surface. The configuration I placed in the PQS section for Kerbin is: </CODE> @PQS { minLevel = 2 maxLevel = 14 minDetailDistance = 8 maxQuadLenghtsPerFrame = 0.001 fadeStart = 68000 fadeEnd = 70000 Material { steepPower = 3 steepTexStart = 0 steepTexEnd = 500000 steepTex = 10xKerbol/Terrain/rock //steepBumpMap = BUILTIN/Cliff (Layered Rock)_NRM steepNearTiling = 400 steepTiling = 500 lowTex = 10xKerbol/Terrain/biosphere //lowBumpMap = BUILTIN/bouldernormal lowNearTiling = 7000 lowMultiFactor = 10 lowBumpNearTiling = 9000 lowBumpFarTiling = 300 } Mods </CODE> If you need copy of my changes I can send them to you.

Did you ever get those settings?

Hi rbray89 Looking at your most recent changes I have a few questions. The biggest change I see is the introduction of CubeMap (RGB2_CubeMap) which from the reading of the code appears to be cube map composed of just 2 textures labeled positive and negative. Looking at the image files I see the RGB channels all being used. From this I gather that this new CubeMap is all 6 sides compression into 2 textures. If that is the case then which channels map to X,Y and Z?

Sorry I was on a business trip. I'm referring to creating procedural cloud cover cub maps. This way far above a planet with time warp you could see a changing weather pattern. This could be even linked with the weather mod. Here is a link to a excellent paper about modeling this with Navier-Stokes equation in a game context : http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/people/stam/reality/Research/pdf/GDC03.pdf
