Request Orbiter Base Editor

[DaveS]

I thought I would post this here, since it seems there's some interest in this which is a Orbiter Base Editor similar in capabilities as to this utility: https://www.orbithangar.com/showAddon.php?id=843d44ed-0816-4ea3-b767-d4748d002bf5

Unfortunately, this is only compatible with Orbiter 2010-P1 and earlier and the author seems to be long gone, so no updates for it to work with Orbiter 2016. So, something like it that can be used to visually edit Orbiter 2016 bases would be very helpful.

Yes, it would be very very welcome !

I use it for orbiter 2016 it works

I just unziped it to main orbiter folder and it ran all I can say is try it.I used it yesterday to add a pad and buildings to Overburg South Africa

No problems with the Earth textures?

 

[spacedad57]

If you want to make a new base you have to look up the longitude and latitude and put them in and it should still work

 

[spacedad57]

I haven't had any trouble with earth textures

tool works in half, the part responsible for the tiles of the surface does not work, since the orbiter 2016 has a volumetric relief, in contrast to the orbiter 2010
how to put your tiles on the surface is a very frequently asked question on the forum

 

[spacedad57]

Ahh I see what you mean.Maybe someone can fix that

 

[4throck]

The tile import won't work because the online mapping service address / method changed.
Only the original author can fix that.

But I wonder if we could export 2016 surface tiles using TerrainTools and import them to this tool.
The tile boundaries should be the same...

 

[spacedad57]

That would be awesome if it works

Exactly. Part of base creation/editing now is to make sure that the very terrain itself fits with what you have in mind for the base. This is something the original Orbiter Base Maker can't do, so something new is required.
