Mars Expedition1 Mod for Vehicle simulator - jafergon - 08.09.2013

Hi!
My name is Javier Fernandez, the autor of the Nimitz and SW Europe scenery for VSF, and I'd like to show you a project I've been working for several months. Mars Expedition1 is a total conversion mod that transforms Vehicle Simulator into a Mars simulator.

I chose it beacuse it has very easy and yet poweful scenery creation tools. It covers 100% of mars surface elevation with a resolution of 128 pix/deg based on NASA's Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter data. As far as I know it is the first time you can explore freely the entire Mars in a game in first person view, driving rovers, walkin in an EVA suit and many more vehicles.

I've also included some High-resoultion areas based on Mars HIRISE data from NASA. I'll be adding more high resolution areas soon.

The mod includes a series of missions that simulates a future mission to Mars and will help you understand the features of the mod. You can also add objects and vehicles in-game to the scenery to create your own bases or situations.
It has a some limitations, due to the Earth's nature of Vehicle simulator, but they do not ruin the experience.

I've been working for nearly 9 months on it and I released it last week. It's a freeware project.

You can download it here:

Wow!

jafergon,

The screenshots look realistic like Mars! Nice work on the vehicles and other models, too, you have there.

So much potential this VSF has, I've said for over 3 years since introduced to it.

I know that you spent much time on this, so thank you, jafergon.

It looks fabulous!

You took a earth bound sim and turned it into Mars the whole planet! Made new vehicles, ground objects, missions and all textures and gave a nice PDF on how to use the add-on, you made a new sim experience out of this earth bound VSF, now that is just so cool.

Top work there Javier and thank you.
