Neptune Atmospheric Module Upgrade for Orbiter 2010
by DR_AERONAUTICS
----------------------------------

Description
----------------------------------

This provides Neptune with an atmospheric module (it has none by default). The module will simulate the atmosphere from 89 bars up to 8588km above that (the exosphere), in 8 distinct layers. The module is largely based on NASA's Global Reference Atmospheric Model (GRAM) output for Neptune. For more information and technotes please see the PDF. 

Installation
----------------------------------

1. To install, unzip Neptune_ATM_Module to a temporary location like your desktop. 
2. Navigate to Orbiter 2010/Config and back up Neptune.cfg by copying it out to a safe location so you can revert later if desired. 
3. Copy the contents of Module Package to your Orbiter install directory. If prompted to merge folders answer Yes. 4. When prompted to overwrite Neptune.cfg, confirm you backed up the file. Then answer Copy and Replace. 
5. Start Orbiter to access the Orbiter Launchpad. 
6. Choose the Extra bubble on the left pane. 
7. Expand the radio button beside "Celestial body configuration". 
8. Click the text "Atmosphere Configuration". 
9. Click Edit below the text field. 
10. In the Celestial Body Dropdown, choose Neptune. 
11. Under Atmospheric model click the dropdown. 
12. Choose Neptune_ATM. Click Apply. Then click close. 
13. This addon should now be completely installed, and Neptune will have a realistic atmosphere.

To Deactivate
----------------------------------
- To improve performance in Orbiter when you are not going to Neptune at all, I recommend the following:
1. Execute steps 5-11 of the install instructions
2. [None]. Click Apply. Then click close. 
3. This addon should now be inactive until you re-activate from step 5 of the installation
