Thyone in Orbiter[edit]
Thyone was first introduced into Orbiter with the add-on jupiter_v.zip in August 2003. Note that Thyone is provided by the add-on as S/2001-J 2. To simulate it as Thyone, the following changes need to be made.
- File:S2001_J2.cfg:
- change the filename to Thyone.cfg
- change the name in the comment line in the top line to Thyone (S/2001-J2, Jupiter)
- line 3, change NAME = to Thyone
- Last line, change the name of Base1 = to Thyone
- File:J2-Station.cfg
- change the filename to Thyone-station.cfg
- Line 3, change the name to Thyone-Station
- File:Jupiter_S2001J2.scn
- change the filename to Jupiter-Thyone.scn
- Line 2, change J2 Station to Thyone Station
- Find the GL-01 ship, change STATUS Landed S2001-J2 to Landed Thyone
- Change BASE J2-Station:1 to Thyone-Station:1
- File:S2001-J2.tex, change filename to Thyone.tex
- File:S2001-J2M.BMP, change filename to ThyoneM.BMP
