Anwar Al Farkadain Planetary System Version 3.0

File Description:
This package contains a full install of the Anwar Al Farkadain Planetary System made for Orbiter build 031105. This version restores the water reflections in two of the system planets lost in the old version Awar when upgrading to the new Orbiter build. Previous version of Anwar is not required. Physically, the star is nearly (but not quite) sunlike, a class F (in the middle of the range, F5). Although the star information is factual everything else about this addon is fictional. I wanted a real star with a habitable zone to base my system on. Then I made up some realistic looking planets and moons to explore. More about this add-on can be found in Anwar.html in the Doc folder.

City Builder Tool

File Description:
The tool (a 50 kb Java application) provides a GUI where you just click and place bases, rivers, blocks, churchs, parks, runway, solarplants etc.
Then you click "produce" and the tool writes your My_Cool_Base.cfg file for your OrbiterConfig folder.
In this way I build my home town, with parks and churchs, and I take off from there, now ...

Note: this is an alpha version from the "features point of view", but it is almost a beta release from the "testing point of view". In other words (I know Avsim requires at least beta's) the tool works well, simply it is not completed (some features are missing).
I made this tool just for fun. So, if you really think is worthy going on with it, or that it's a funny/useful tool, please let me know.
If I see that the tool is useful for the Orbiter community, I will complete it more quickly and I will post a real beta release in a couple of weeks.

REMARK: you need Java to run this tool!

Gusev Crater Scenery

File Description:
Gusev Crater is an impact crater on Mars that looks as though a lake may have once filled it in the distant past. Gusev Crater is about 145 km (90 miles) wide. It is located at 14.6° South latitude and 175.3° East longitude, along the boundary between Mars' southern highlands and its lowland northern plains. The crater is about 3,000 km (1,900 miles) southeast of the volcano Elysium Mons. Scientists believe the Gusev Crater was formed by the impact of an asteroid three to four billion years ago. A valley named Ma'adim Vallis, which is connected to the south side of the crater, looks like it may have been a river channel that poured water into the crater in the past, forming a large lake. If the crater was indeed a lake, scientists expect it to contain layers of sediments as much as 915 meters (3,000 feet) thick that flowed in with the water. There may be other clues to a watery past within the crater, such as deposits of minerals, such as halite and gypsum, that form when water evaporates. Wet environments are the best places to look for life, which is why scientists are so eager to track down places on Mars that were once wet. On the 3rd of January 2004, MER-A Spirit, one of the two Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) had landed within an 81 km by 12 km (50 by 7 miles) oval near the center of Gusev Crater. Once settled into its new "home", Spirit will begin its mission of exploring for geologic evidence of the presence of water in Gusev Crater's past.

Moon - Level 9 and 8

File Description:
This 16k x 8k moon texture is a merging of the high-resolution Clementine greyscale mosaic map with a medium resolution Clementine color mosaic map for color, color corrected to better match lunar astrophotography. Unlike previous Moon textures, the Clementine color data has been mapped to correct RGB channels. I've included a new mfd planet map bitmap as well.

Mars Softlanding Sites and Approach Paths V 1.02

File Description:
With this addon you can see where are located 6 softlanding sites on Mars. You can also get experience (feel taste) of Mars approach and Mars landing. Included scenarios brings you on approach path few hours before Mars landing (or swingby) of these spacecrafts: Nozomi orbiter, Mars Express orbiter, Beagle 2 lander, MER Spirit lander, MER Opportunity lander). For better experience some lander scenarios uses MER meshes from Ariane 5 MER addon. Other scenarios not requires any Orbiter addon installed, because they only uses DeltaGlider for simulation. You can also use other or future mesh models for simulation (if will be available).
