With BepiColombo finally underway, I thought it would be a good idea to update the Mercury textures to spruce up Orbiter for any simulated missions.
They are available on the highres repository on Orbiter-Radio (other mirrors may pick them up in time).
The textures are based on Messenger MDIS images available on USGS Astrogeology. I have used the 166m panchromatic mosaic for pansharpening the 665m colour mosaic. The colour data also needed to be severely desaturated.
The elevation layer probably only works with the Orbiter beta, since it uses a 0.5m elevation scaling factor which wasn't supported by Orbiter 2016 Release version. And the label layer definitely needs the beta.
Let me know if you find any issues.
