All of the screenshots below were captured live. Click on any of them for the full picture.
Nearly over the West Crater. This is the beginning of the flight and one must overfly the crater to land farther downrange.
The original Apollo 11 landing site outline on the ground ahead. We are maneuvering a little too much. The picture is designed to show the FDAI ball working.
These pictures were taken from the Spot View mode. You can move the camera
around the LM using the POV toggle or the keyboard. Passing over West
Crater. The computer would have landed them on the edge (to your left above)
in a fairly rough and rocky area.
I tried to put the earth in the right place (nearly overhead with the correct phase).
Any guesses on the last picture?
Contact light! Touching down near the original Apollo 11 landing spot. The outline of the original landing is shown on the ground. Notice the dust kicking up.
The dust has settled and we are on the ground very close to the actual Eagle landing position. All of the ground features are faithful renditions of the orignal area. The smaller East Crater can be seen in the background. Armstrong walked over to the edge of it during his EVA.
After a successful landing it is possible to leave the LM and do a virtual EVA. Here are some shots of one.
This has a tremendous potential. Right now I have a very crude interior but it is entirely possible to create a detailed and functional one that allows modeling of every possible switch, lever, and gauge along with a head tracker to 'be there'.
