corpsdog Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 ... Also also, watching other people's KSP videos is annoying because I keep trying to move the viewpoint I keep trying to do that, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsdog Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The updated hilo.dat file for mapsat shows the Mun as -500;7500. From my initial mapping of Kerbin and it's hilo.dat info, I take those numbers as the lowest point and highest point. Granted, if that's true (and I'm still guessing) that could be just one peak at some odd inclination with average safe distance being somewhat lower. But, I have a feeling that if you orbit at about 7550, you won't hit anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosenkranz Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yes, it's over 5km. I was doing a low pass at 5100m looking for arches or munoliths and smacked into the side of a mountain on the dark side. Those were my first three casualties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8cefan88 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 i think flying in at 7km is a tad bit crazy. i prefer my orbits at either 8km or 12km depending what it is in orbit. my mun missions usually get the lower orbit while stations take my higher preferred level above the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteevyT Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 lol... I think I just found it.I literally just read your post as I was at 5870 (+/-20) on a zero inclined orbit... and then saw this on the horizon...-snip-I think the engine may need dusting I am going to try dropping an orbit through that canyon. Sounds like a fun challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoknight Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) "It is gray in appearance with craters of various sizes and mountains exceeding 5029 m in height.""The Mun's highest points reach a maximum altitude of more than 7061 m near the south pole at 152.33° W and 82.52° S.""Highest elevation--7061.1416 m"(This is right from the Kerbal Space Program wiki.)

PTNLemay Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 @ Xok When I created this thread they gave the old altitude on the Wiki. Hence the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
