Dactyl in Orbiter[edit]

243 Ida and Dactyl were first introduced with the release of MainBeltAsteroids051403.zip in May 2003.

Note that the landing surface as given in the config file is spherical, but the visual of these bodies are not, if you land, you will likely be above or below the visual surface.
