This add-on models the 5 known planets of the Kepler-62 system that were discovered by the Kepler spacecraft. Two of the planets, Kepler-62e and f, are in the habitable zone of the star. This add-on also contains:
- 3 hypothetical moons
- 2 bases with original layouts
- 20 scenarios
- Realistic planetary parameters, textures, and meshes
- Precisely accurate orbital periods and positions for planets
- Html manual
- Delta Glider IV
- UCGO
- UMmu
---------- August 29, 2014 Update ----------
Version 2.0 is an extensive update to the original Kepler-62 System add-on that was available before August 29, 2014. It has been changed to include new features and to reflect the newest scientific theories and discoveries. One of the biggest changes is that Kepler-62e and f are now modeled as water planets rather than terrestrial planets. This is because new research suggests that habitable-zone planets in that size range may not be entirely rocky.
IMPORTANT: Due to the extensive updates of the planets' masses, compositions, and positions, scenarios involving the original add-on may not work properly. There are new scenarios available in this add-on, but any old user-made scenarios may not be compatible.
---------- November 28, 2014 Update ----------
This newest version (2.1) fixes two bugs for D3D9Client users. There is no longer a ctd when you approach the base on Kepler-62f. Also, the landing pad night textures for ExoBase K62M now work properly.
This update also fixes the issue where the aircraft carrier on Kepler-62f appeared to be floating.
***If you already have version 2.0, a small update pack is available on my website (ip-orbiter.weebly.com) so that you don't have to re-download the whole thing.
