Kale in Orbiter[edit]
Kale was first introduced into Orbiter with the add-on jupiter_v.zip in August 2003. Note that Kale is provided by the add-on as S/2001-J 8. To simulate it as Kale, the following changes need to be made.
- File:S2001_J8.cfg:
- change the filename to Kale.cfg
- change the name in the comment line in the top line to Kale (S/2001-J8, Jupiter)
- line 3, change NAME = to Kale
- Last line, change the name of Base1 = to Kale
- File:S2000J8-Station.cfg
- change the filename to Kale-station.cfg
- Line 3, change the name to Kale-Station
- File:Jupiter_S2001J8.scn
- change the filename to Jupiter-Kale.scn
- Line 2, change S2000J8 Station to Kale Station
- Find the GL-01 ship, change STATUS Landed S2001-J8 to Landed Kale
- Change BASE S2001J8-Station:1 to Kale-Station:1
- File:S2001-J6.tex, change filename to Kale.tex
- File:S2001-J6M.BMP, change filename to KaleM.BMP
