Eiffel Tower

Post #1by Kendrix » 30.12.2003, 11:21

Hi...

I'm trying to put the Eiffel tower on the earth surface (like for the Apollo 11 lander) but it doesn't work.

Here is the script :

"Test" "Sol/Earth/"
{
Class "invisible"
Radius 1
EllipticalOrbit {
Period 1e12
SemiMajorAxis 4740.120
AscendingNode 280.5
Inclination 90
MeanAnomaly 90
}
}

"Eiffel" "Sol/Earth/Test"
{
Class "spacecraft"
Mesh "eiffel.3ds"
Radius 0.324

EllipticalOrbit {
Period 1.0
SemiMajorAxis 4268.023
MeanLongitude 282.5
}

Albedo 0.001
}

Since i don't have the exact coords of the tower I have used 48°N / 2°E for the moment.

Anyone have a suggestion ?

The major problem with the definition that you posted (it's not a script, by the way), is that there's an extra "/" in the path to the Earth.

"Test" "Sol/Earth/"

should be

"Test" "Sol/Earth"

Does this help?
