Jump to search
Mercury is modeled in Orbiter 2016 as a sphere, but, as one approaches the planet, many geological features are visualized. Features include Albedo, Craters, Dorsa (ridges), Montes (mountains), Planitiae (plains), Rupes (cliffs), and Valles (valleys). Each class of features can be turned on or off during a scenario by calling 'Display' in the main menu in the Planetarium tab, Surface markers, then selecting the desired labels in the Config page.
