Hi,
What to you think of creating a sol.cfg for current solar system exploration, integrating all the active and historical space probes that have been sent over the years ? For Saturn for example, you'd have Cassini orbiting and Huygens landed, etc...
The ideia here is to treat current and past missions as scenery and not to control them. Just the meshes on the right places.
The you could explore things prety much as they are in reality using whatver spacecraft you'd like.
I'd very much like to have the Viking landers, Pathfinder and the MERs always on the surface of Mars every time I go there, so that I could land the Deltaglider, for example, as close as possible to the historical sites
I don't see much trouble in getting the landers to appear on the right places, by creating surface bases and positioning there the meshes.
For orbiting probes perhaps defining them as satellites of a planet would do.
My questions are: is there any interest in something like this? What probes would you include for each planet ? Has someone tried it before ? How to handle the dozens of add-ons you might need to install to have all the required meshes?
