Realistic Star System - Realistic Locations (Vanilla)

Description
This map adjusts the gravity of Planets and Moons and adjusts the position of Planets and Moons to create a compromise between realism and fun gameplay. Approximately: Planets and Moons are 100th the size of real life, distance between Planets and Moons is 1000th of real life, and distance between Planets and other Planets is 10000th of real life.

Probably. Note: I haven't tested this mod in years, so use at your own risk.

Loving this mod, but I am a noob. Can I run other mods with this? Do I run it in a custom game? (hangs head in shame)

@SpaceWolf You'd have to place it in manually with space master, the existing planets in this world won't change based on any planet mods.

Dumb question but if I used a custom planet would it show up on here?

@chrisb The physical sizes are the same, all that is changed is the gravity and location of them.

Hi

Thanks.

Any tips on what to edit in the config files to change and fix the gravity fields? I'd like to perform a similar edit to my moons map.

@Grimson I'd be nice to list your altitude and speed. The more information the better, I'd like to be able to create a formula for this kind of thing. One big issue we do have, however, is that altitude changes depending on what area you're over, because the in-game altitude system uses distance to the ground. I suggest we place a GPS point at the center of the planet ("Earth"'s one would be 0,0,0) to properly judge distance

Any tips on successful orbiting? Does the artificial horizon display help? I've never managed to get an orbit because all the navigational tools and aids you would expect in a game where you are supposed to orbit things are of course absent.

@Captain Spacebeard Lagrange u say? awsome! managed to stay in orbit with a speed mod yesterday. next. rendesvouz and docking :D
