We are thrilled to announce that the Roaming Rover Update is now live! This third patch introduces the Lunar Rover Vehicle to Lunar Odyssey.
This is a fully simulated version of the LRV, but with a few small additions. By default you must perform the power up procedure for the LRV, there is a button to the top right of the LRV’s dashboard that will walk you through a checklist style tutorial for powering up and driving the LRV.
Alternatively, you can set the power to “Arcade” mode, which simplifies the power on procedure to just the main breakers. There is also an Arcade setting for steering that utilizes the controllers in the same way as a racing game would instead of using the control yoke.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, feedback, or suggestions; please join our Discord channel. Info for it can be found on the community page for Lunar Odyssey!
Free Roam
►Added the Lunar Rover to Free roam. You can access it just down the hill from the Lunar Lander.
►Added new factoid widgets related to the LRV scattered across the playable Lunar Surface. See if you can find the 14 additional educational facts!
►Added a training mode for the LRV that teaches you how to power on and use the LRV in simulation mode.
Bug Fixes
►Removed collision from small to extra small rocks. This solved a collision based performance issue as well as provided a more accurate experience when driving the LRV.
