Pasithee was first introduced into Orbiter with the add-on jupiter_v.zip in August 2003. Note that Pasithee is provided by the add-on as S/2001-J 6. To simulate it as Pasithee, the following changes need to be made.
- File:S2001_J6.cfg:
- change the filename to Pasithee.cfg
- change the name in the comment line in the top line to Pasithee (S/2001-J6, Jupiter)
- line 3, change NAME = to Pasithee
- Last line, change the name of Base1 = to Pasithee
- File:S2000J6-Station.cfg
- change the filename to Pasithee-station.cfg
- Line 3, change the name to Pasithee-Station
- File:Jupiter_S2001J6.scn
- change the filename to Jupiter-Pasithee.scn
- Line 2, change S2000J6 Station to Pasithee Station
- Find the GL-01 ship, change STATUS Landed S2001-J6 to Landed Pasithee
- Change BASE S2001J6-Station:1 to Pasithee-Station:1
- File:S2001-J6.tex, change filename to Pasithee.tex
