Coordinates and altitude of the surface planet point

[lolotux]

Hello all

Super simple and legitimate question (in my opinion) .....

On Kerbin without RSS without RO .......

How to know the coordinates and the altitude of a point?
(without going there)

thank you in advance

NB: This is to adapt the kscswitch conf file in order to have different KSCs on Kerbin.

Without going there? You may try MechJeb's landing guidance. You can select a position from map view, afterwards the coordinates and altitude will show up in the Mechjeb Gui.

KerbNet will show you the coordinates - and in terrain mode also the altitude - of the position where you put the marker. You will have to have a vessel with KerbNet-view of the place for which you want the information.

I'll try but not really efficient....

It's a bit laborious .....: /

Scansat might help you. You still need to launch a satellite and fast-forward until the entire surface has been mapped, but once the data has been collected, the scansat map and it's tools may be the best / easiest / most acessible means of finding suitable sites.

Yes, well, in real life it's not all that trivial either.

So I found a solution.......

Then play (adapt) the following parameters:
repositionRadiusOffset = 43
heightMapDeformity = -40
absoluteOffset = 64
