Hide contents If I may nitpick...Maybe a thinner ring for Tellumo. Something in the direction of Uranus. A lot of moons/asteroids may have to have been sacrificed to the ring god for that healthy-looking thing....or maybe a lesser twin planet. I do plan to adjust the rings. What I have completed was just 15 min of work and testing. I plan on custom rings for Tellumo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duski Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yes and no I like the idea of Tellumo having a ring. Nero looks good as with the rings. Perhaps Gauss should have some rings? And if Tellumo would end up having rings? Maybe a custom ring texture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Tellumo will have a very different ring to it. The current one was just an exercise to quickly get something done and provide a sample.

JadeOfMaar Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) I tinted the planets blue to match the background some. Gauss hasn't changed one bit. It's also inclined because at the time I screenshot it, I couldn't be bothered to edit out orbit lines. More of its north pole is showing, if anything.

JadeOfMaar Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) I see what I did there. Scatterer behaves now (v0.2.55?) but the sun flare is not what I installed. Not a problem but now I really see the difference in Gauss with(out) it. I see your pain @Duski I feel it for Gael.

Poodmund Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 On the subject of Geysers, they shouldn't actually be too hard as you can lock the rotation down to the planetary surface and then add a volumetric particle cloud that primarily has speed in the y-axis and jitter mostly in the y-axis. You could add two layers super imposed at slightly different altitudes with the upper layer having a large scale jitter to simulate a Geyser plume.

I'll send you my cfg when I get home and if you suggest any change just let me know. @OhioBob because i locked the texture to the surface, you should only be able to see the geysers on the day side. The do happen on the night side but it's too dark to see. Also @Poodmund, I don't feel like I fleshed out the biomes as well as I should have so if there are any you see in particular that need some loving, feel free.

OhioBob Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I've been experimenting with atmospheric entry at Tellumo and it is indeed possible to aerocapture and to even do a direct entry and landing from a high speed interplanetary trajectory. I just had my periapsis set too low on my previous attempts. Using a Mk1-2 command pod, a periapsis altitude of 20000 m, and an entry velocity of 6100 m/s, I managed to safely land, though I did get up to 92% of the critical temperature.

JadeOfMaar Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I can't wait, either, but I won't have the luxury to play the game for a while and screenshot the planets. Oh yeah. I did two tests last night but didn't think they'd be too important to mention. I designed a turbocharged spaceplane which happened to very loosely resemble the Normandy. Under 40t and with 8 Rapiers and only LF, it can make an 80km superjump on Gael/Kerbin. Reference condition: Rapiers die at 30km. IntakeAir stops at 38km. The plane could only 'superjump' to 20km in Tellumo's atmosphere (with the 40km height)... but with enough heat protection it can cruise at Mach 5.2 max at 10km up. Result condition: Rapiers die at 20km. IntakeAir stops at ~24km. I plugged SCANsat into my game to go out and map terrain. That mod politely left reminders for me in the Debug window that the CRP configs need some love. I didn't take it too seriously then, but now I'm giving this highest priority. This planet pack can't reach v0.8 and there's that high probability that no one's mining equipment will work. Okay I did three tests. I drove the test plane into a boulder and the heat shield exploded. : D Terrain confirmed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioBob Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Gael is the exact same size as Kerbin and uses Kerbin's atmospheric model from my Realistic Atmospheres mod. So for anyone familiar with RA, flying at Gael should be identical. The RA atmosphere is also very similar to stock Kerbin, so there shouldn't be much difference there either. (Both Kerbin's stock atmosphere and its RA atmosphere are based on real life models of Earth, so they're natural very similar.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
