I tried to go to Mercury over the weekend. I got within about 85 M meters, but I guess the Sun is just too strong that close because the g at the bottom of the Orbit MDF still said 0.00.

Oh well, I did get to see Mercury though.

[DanSteph]

You mean we cannot orbit around mercury ?

Anyway I tried the new Venus texture by Seth and my new
temperature profile for Venus.....

Don't forget your sun glasses and cream


here the reentry display with temperature in C° when landed
(may vary about+-70° depend of the weather)

here we have a "cold" day on venus. (click on link)

I want to go to mars, but I just cant figure out how, I've read the tutorials, but I cant understand
what to exactly do.

Well it looks like you can orbit Mercury, but judging from what they plan for the Messenger satellite, the approach is more like a rendezvous with the ISS than the Transx Hohmann transfer I tried.
