I have been playing with my own bases for a while now and am getting ready to release them. I have 10 bases on the moon. There is a set of models/meshs and each base has its own sub set, with one of the bases having at least 1 of everything. They have all been done in Orbiter Base Maker.
However each base has a 8 by 11 set of layer one tiles, layer 4 tiles and layer 7 tiles. So as you get closer / lower then detail gets better. The layer 1 tiles are taken from the Internet and within the limits of time and of OBM's 512 by 512 tile are quite accurate. The layer 4 and 7 tiles are "nice" with the edges blended into the upper layers. i.e. real lunar images used as close ups
All these tiles mean a grand sum of 2640 tiles, I think the file will be close to 400Mbyte. Mind you for this you get a 10 base lunar operation!!! I really do not want to do 10 separate zip files and have to maintain them
The question is ... Will anyone download a 400MByte file? Once the first base is loaded along with its meshs and textures the 2nd base is only the size of the .cfg file. This is only hundreds of bytes more. One Tile is bigger than a base config.
Your thoughts if you would be so kind
