This was my last post from my thread about svn updates. Reiko found that .cms files placed out of the solarsystem and around a different star will render tiny if the MeshScale is not used in the ssc file duplicating the radius. In other words, the ssc file must have a line MeshScale 292.45 along with the Radius 292.45 for the .cms model to render correctly.
I created a ssc file that basically copied part of asteroid.ssc and assigned an asteroid to Wolf 359.cartrite wrote:The ssc file I did used a radius of 0.7 or 700 meters. When this is used, the asteroid is full size. When I used your radius of 292.45 km, the onscreen text confirmed that the size was 292.45 km but the model was tiny. "NormalizeMesh true" or "NormalizeMesh false" had no effect on size. But adding the linegot the model to render the correct size. I'm not sure but this may be a bug. I'll start a thread in the bug forum.Code: Select all

That ssc file will render a tiny model. If the MeshScale line is uncommented, the model will render correctly.
