Sandstorms on Duna and Eve


Recommended Posts

I was watching the movie The Martian and I thought that it would be rather easy to implement sandstorms in KSP.

1) There would be a random possibility to trigger a sandstorm event after entering the atmosphere

2) Particle effects can be used to visually represent the sandstorm. Also decreasing global illumination and draw distance gives the low visibility effect.

3) The wind can be just a force vector of random magnitude acting on random points on the ship all having a particular direction.

I would like to have wheater effects, though I'm not sure how it works on IRL Venus. Also sandstorms should be random and predictable with weather sats placed around a body. That would be way cooler than just triggering it with an atmospheric entry.
