Mars Expedition1 Mod for Vehicle simulator
#1

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.

Wow!

jafergon,

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

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. Big Grin

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 Big Grin and thank you.
