Hi!My name is Javier Fernandez and I'd like to show you a project I've been working for several months. Mars Expedition1 is a total conversion mod that transforms an indie sim called Vehicle Simulator into a Mars simulator. Vehicle simulator is a mix of Flight Simulator and a driving and sailing sim.I chose it beacuse it has very easy and yet poweful scenery creation tools. It covers 100% of mars surface elevation with a resolution of 128 pix/deg based on NASA's Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter data. As far as I know it is the first time you can explore freely the entire Mars in a game in first person view, driving rovers, walkin in an EVA suit and many more vehicles. Night/day cycles and controllable weather are also featured.I've also included some High-resoultion areas based on Mars HIRISE data from NASA. I'll be adding more high resolution areas soon.The mod includes a series of missions that simulates a future mission to Mars and will help you understand the features of the mod. You can also add objects and vehicles in-game to the scenery to create your own bases or situations.It has a some limitations, due to the Earth's nature of Vehicle simulator, but they do not ruin the experience.I've been working for nearly 9 months on it and I released it las week. It's a freeware project and you can download it here:[url]http://marsexpedition1.com/[/url] info here:[url]https://www.facebook.com/marsexpedition1[/url] Trailer: 

 Incredible work Jafergon it looks absolutely amazing just as good as any of the recent Kickstarter which have dealt with the same subject. Recall that I posted about it when RPS did it's Article on the mod.

Hi Jafergon. Yes very impressive and Vehicle Simulator looks a great sim too. Cars, boats, aircraft and as you have just shown, space craft too. This is worth looking into as I cant get enough of Mars games lately. Thanks for dropping by and letting us know about your mod! :girlsmile:

Looking extremely impressive Javier :good: Congratulations!
