Problem Orulex Hieght Map Problems

[fausto]

I have a problem with world studio heightsmaps download.
When i download Earth's heightsmaps it works fine, it looks wonderful, but when i download moon or mars' heightsmaps i get just square flat areas. No mountains or craters!
Why? Is it a problem of clementine data download?
Please help!!

It would seems that Worldwind servers are not working now, and that is where World Studio takes the data.

Which raises the question - where can terrain and texture data for various planets be downloaded for free, as tiles or defined regions?

Worldwind servers allowed to download tiles of data defined by position and level.
Is there something similar elsewhere?

I thought the existing heightmap files from your site had rough terrain elevation data for Earth, moon and Mars?

Yes, up to Lv8.
If you want Lv17, it's Worldwind servers.

Level 8 moon heights map doesn't cover all the surface. Can i cover the missing parts by using this map or similar?

Well, that's about Lv3-Lv4, and in wrong projection.

What exactly "heights map doesn't cover all the surface" means?
Orulex cuts off the data at Orbiter's zero sphere, to allow a place to land.
To turn it off, open config/terrain/moon.cfg in notepad, and change
"glhmapop =0 //Global heightmap operator" to =3
and
"belowsphere =0 //Below sphere terrain" to =1.

That will make it use the whole heightmap, but will also remove nice landable flatlands.

I'm so sorry! I belived that moon's height maps were uncomplete!
Now it's perfect! No matter about the landing sites! I prefer realism!
A last question: some months ago there was a link to moon heigts map level 9 and now is no more downloadable! Why?
Can you give me moon heghts map level 9 again!
Thanks a lot for rapid reponses! :speakcool:

That is because it is 314Mb wide, and i don't have the server space to host it online constantly.

For now, you can get it here:
http://orbides.1gb.ru/orbf/moon-lv9.zip
The link will expire in a few days.

When i lunch world studio or orbiter scenario "lunar suicide" it crashes to desktop!
Maybe something wrong in moon. cgf?
