This add-on celebrates the 32nd anniversary of the launches of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in August and September 1977!
32nd Anniversary?? Well, this is a computer simulation of spacecraft that, for their time, took autonomous computer control to a whole new level. Computers work in base 8 numbers, so in "eight-fingered computer-years" 32 has the same impact as 40 in ten-fingered human years ... :dry:
Whatever, I just felt like doing it.
The Ops Manual includes historical background for the Grand Tour, along with timelines and maps for the planetary flybys.
This is NOT a TransX tutorial and this add-on is probably not suitable for Orbiter beginners. However, the manual does provide links to the excellent Flytandem tutorials. Several launch and Earth eject scenarios are provided, some with complete TransX v3.10 and v3.13 flight plans. The meshes and textures are highly detailed, fully animated and configured with historically accurate performance. Mostly, this add-on is eye candy for TransX fans.
Requires separate installation of Velcro Rockets by Sputnik.
