This add-on contains global surface textures of levels 1-9 that are packed into a single "Surf.tree" arhive. These textures may be used for covering an entire moon/planet. There are four different "Surf.tree" files for choosing (download links are presented on the add-on page).

THE SOURCE OF THE TEXTURES IS THE SPACE ENGINE PROGRAM.

Required Orbiter version: Orbiter 2024
The add-on version: 1
The add-on author: misha.physics

The textures may be used with the Orbiter 2016 as well, but the D3D9 micro textures should be installed aditionally (although they are not necessary, but very desirable).

EXAMPLE OF INSTALLATION FOR HYPERION (SATURN'S MOON):
1) Edit /Config/Hyperion.cfg to uncomment "TileFormat = 2" and change "MaxPatchResolution" from "8" to "9".
2) Unpack the "GlobalTextures" archive into the main Orbiter directory.
3) Unpack the choosen "Surf.tree" texture into /Textures/Hyperion/Archive (create the directory if absent).
4) Edit /Config/MicroTex.cfg to add the following lines:

BODY Hyperion
NORMALS 1
LEVEL 0 D3D9Moon_A.dds 20.0
LEVEL 1 D3D9Moon_B.dds 5.0
LEVEL 2 D3D9Moon_C.dds 0.5

5) Launch a scenario located in /Scenarios/GlobalTextures.
