[elphifou]

 

Orcus Patera

Orcus Patera is a fictional base located on Mars; it includes many outstanding features.

To run this addon you'll need the following:
Universal Cars and Cargo for Orbiter (UCGO)
DeltaGliderIV
DX9 or DX11 clients for Orbiter (Not mandatory but gives better visual results - please use the latest version)

Note: In order to have the wheel dust feature and cargo correct positions you must use UCGO version 3.0 which is available here: http://orbiter.dansteph.com/forum/index.php?page=download


Features :


•Stunning ground meshes and textures
•5 new amazing UCGO cars (See scenario "[Cool] New ucgo cars")
•AI traffic passing over the base. If you are lucky you can even see a ship doing a reentry at high speed and high altitude. (Very long trail)
•Animated Solar Panel Cleaners (big yellow bars). You can see them slowly doing their job, you can even control them with a switch.
•Animated Hangar doors to safely park your favorite ship. Use a UMmu to control opening/closing of the doors.
•Animated "Mining" train south of the base.
•5 Factories that can produce 5 different types of UCGO cargo (south of the base)
•Lighted Pad indicator, each free pad has a white circle that turns orange when the pad is busy (see at night for a better effect)
•Real local light that illuminates the landing area/ship. You must check the - "local light" option in Orbiter's launchpad. On DX7 even the ground is lighted. On DX9 this feature seems to be missing although the landed ships will still be illuminated at night.
•Blinking lights everywhere so ships don't collide with buildings at night.
•Air conditioning system smoke exhaust coming from different areas. You can command them with a switch (if you can find it )
•On the side of one of the buildings there is a "touristic" lift that goes up and down from time to time.
•Somewhere around the base you will find a crash scenery used in one of the scenarios ("save the idiots")
•4 New UCGO cargo types - two can spawn a rover, one contains sausages (author's private joke) & the last one contains sexy clothes. (see mission "Tidy Up")



The Real Orcus Patera on Mars

Orcus Patera is a region on the surface of the planet Mars. It is a depression about 380 km long, 140 km wide, and about 0.5 km (500 meters) deep but with a relatively smooth floor. It has a rim up to 1.8 km high. Orcus Patera is west of Mons Olympus and east of Elysium Mons. It is about half-way between those two volcanoes, and east and north of Gale crater. It has experienced aeolian processes, and has some small craters and graben structures. However, it is not known how the patera originally formed. Theories include volcanic, tectonic, or cratering events.

Mars Express observed this region in 2005, yielding a digital terrain model and color pictures.[Credit wikipedia]
