OHM Mercury heightmap + Level 9 global textures

[OrbitHangar]

Author: 4th rock

This add-on will give you real topography and level 9 surface textures for Mercury, based on data from the NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Carnegie Institution of Washington Messenger Mission and NASA/JPL Mariner 10 Mission.
 
 
The original altimetry data is of low resolution and partial coverage, compared to the Moon or Mars, but it's real!
 
Altitude scale is approximate and slightly exaggerated on this release.
Colors were computed to match the planet's visual appearance.

 
Recommended add-ons: MeshLand2 + Orulex  to see your relative altitude above the 3D surface.

Set the MaxPatchResolution  parameter in your config/mercury.cfg file to 9 if needed
 
 
Have fun!

An excellent work, like your other addons, thank you very mutch! Again a big step closer to my perfect Sol System.

But important, to enjoy your new texture people have to delete an exsistent "mercury.tex" in textures2 and to set the maxresolution in mercury.cfg-file to value 9 !!! I had an older texture in that directory and your new textur wasn't visible at first!

Thanks. As for the mercury.cfg, yes, I'll add that info to the description.
