Potential Buckeyball track

[shevek]

I may have found a buckeyball track. I've been flying around Losna 1a in odyssey, and noticed a very long ridge around 4k in height.

The planet is gray but the high lands are pink, I managed to land a Python at -12.3630/-4.8924.

Not sure what the criteria for a buckeyball track is, but I enjoyed racing along it so I thought I would mention it.

@shevek
Thanks for the heads up and sounds intriguing, not seen a decent ridge yet. Unfortunately I'm not in the bubble to check.
Don't suppose you have a picture?

Paging @Alec Turner ^^^

I've taken a screenshot, I'm dammed if I know how to upload it to this forum.

Edit it and save as jpg ( to get it under 1MB ) then you should be able to just drag and drop to a new post or use the picture button from the top toolbar.

Yup, Alec is a good bet to pass on the news - and good form on finding a cool one!

Sorry for the image quality, I've recently had to turn down my settings

Holy hell we have a ridge, and a pretty one too!

I'll go check it out next week and see if it's a candidate for Pomeche Ridge Challenge 2.0!

Looks like it could be a proper new ridge to get mad angry at. Great find shevek!

The planet has quite a few ridges like it scattered around the surface, so some should always be in daylight.

You can just about see them on the planetary map.

As Sgurr said the forum limit for uploading is 1Mb. Just so you're aware you can also upload them to an image hosting site like imgur, and then copy and paste the BBCode from there.

Nice find too!

Went to check out one of the smaller/thinner ridges today (one which conveniently ran North/South and which thus makes for easier finish line identification).

It's a lot more bumpy than the Horizons ridges we're used to so it would be a different sort of challenge but it definitely has potential.

I come across plenty of great ridges but stopped sharing them because they always made people angry about how EDO is "flat as a pancake" so I just keep them to myself now!

If you spot any that are smoother, less bumpy and more .. well ... Horizons like then do let me know (pm is fine).
