Realistic Kerbol System

Post #1by MrSpace43 » 17.07.2020, 04:17

So about a week or so ago, I decided to make the Kerbol system from Kerbal Space Program out of boredom. The problem is that Kerbol was not set up correctly, so I had to ditch the original Kerbol and made a new one from scratch that is more realistic. After that, I laid out the system, and edited the original textures to make them much more realistic looking.

(Keep in mind that the celestial objects and their distances in KSP are actually 10 times smaller than they really are because it would take so long for a spacecraft to get to its destination.)

Seriously, in first : downloaded and tested this morning, the renderings of the planets and moons are great ! :clap:

in second : a star with a spectral type equal to "G8.0 V", where did you find this ? :eek:

Code: Select all

   SpectralType "G8.0V"


In third : a G8V star with radius = 0.91 solar radius which brights more 36 times the sun... where can you find this ?
It's physically impossible, right ?

In fourth : an earthlike at 4.37 AU is again impossible... :fie:

it's the star from the game Kerbal Space Program, however it was very unrealistic so he remade it for this addon

KSP (Kerbal Space Program) is unrealistic

again, KSP is unrealistic. Also have yuo heard of tidal heating?

also no idea why the top quote won't work

Yes, that is physically impossible, but that is not true for Kerbol, according to MrSpace43. I just asked him and he confirmed that it is actually 0.665 Solar Luminosities, which is a lot more realistic than 36 Solar Luminosities.

Updated addon to replace apparent magnitude of 5.25, to absolute magnitude of 5.19 so delete the old one and replace it with the new one
