NEW ADDON : Political borders on Earth

[Cham]

I confirm a **huge** offset. The SSC file needs to be corrected, and I don't know how. Chris ?

[ElChristou]

Replace this SSC code :

Code: Select all

RotationOffset 280.5
   RotationPeriod 23.9344694

with

Code: Select all

CustomRotation "earth-p03lp"

This (for me) result in a cmod that won't display...

[Cham]

Yes, I'm having some problems too. So I reverted back to my previous (working) settings until Chris say something about this issue or someone find the proper solution.

[ElChristou]

Chriss??

Odd, on a fresh build I also get a CustomRotation "earth-p03lp"... Nothing like this from your side??

Nope, I'm not using this option yet. If you do, you'll simply have to use the same SSC options for the borders model (and also for the tectonic model). You need to use exactly the same SSC options for both Earth and the model, or else there may be some misalignement.

You should simply place the borders and craters models in Earth's body fixed frame. Then you don't have to worry about having exactly the same ssc options for Earth and the model.

Code: Select all

"Political Borders" "Sol/Earth"
{
   Mesh "world_borders.cmod"
   Class "diffuse"
   Emissive true
   Radius 6378.5

        OrbitFrame { BodyFixed { Center "Sol/Earth" } }
        FixedPosition [ 0 0 0 ]
        BodyFrame { BodyFixed { Center "Sol/Earth" } }
        FixedRotation { }
}

I completely forgot this option...

It's working ! Thanks Chris.
