Laser-marker on top of the base - Idea

<< < (4/4)

I do think that a light house powered by one to two solar panels you would have to place it on the top of the crater or very tall on the COHAB

Hyper:
The zone is only 4km square and the base is in the middle. I could find it with the compas and a map at zero visibility.

outzoner:
.....agree with that. 

it happened to me once that iwas not able to find base,because i stopped driving for several times, my wife and my son are jumping on my nervs behind me--so i lost direction...

thats part of the game....first think of it->then do it.      being an sloopy idiot is a deadly mistake on mars!

good idea is to go on top of the next hill an have a look around....i guess you would do that in real-life too, wont you?? ;)

Alasandros:
considering you have GPS on the sim ... i dont see how you can get lost .. write down the bases x,y coordinates then if you get turned around begin moving in a direction turning until the x and y numbers begin heading up or down in the desired direction ...and once both sets of numbers match what you wrote down bang look its home!!! heck i drive around out there pitch black and no lights all the time i use the x and y coords and the compass to steer the only reason i look out the window of the rover is to make sure im not driving of the side of a mountain id slide outa control on ...
