Apollo 18: The Moon Missions/Unused Graphics
This is a sub-page of Apollo 18: The Moon Missions.
CSM Panels
CSM Star Finder Window
An older version of the CSM docking window has indicators for the Star Finder and its target lock. In the final game it's replaced with a thrust indicator - which ironically goes unused too! Also note the buttons leading to all three CSM panels.
LM Panels
Radar Display Closeup
This enlarged version of the LM radar display is used on the Training Disk, but is otherwise never used.
LM Dock Window
The Lunar Module was meant to have its own docking window. In the final game, it instead shares the trapezoid window that the CSM has. However the rectangular window is kept for the terrain radar on the LM.
Terrain Radar Sample
This appears to be a mockup of the terrain radar screen. The actual screen works on a similar principle.
The Moon
Full Moon
An image of the moon, probably for outside sequences. The existence of a moon in background images eliminates this image's necessity.
Lunar Panorama
\LANDING\PCX contains PCX images of a view of the lunar surface in eight directions. Possibly a test for the EVA portion of the game promoted in the Deluxe Edition?
These images would also have been used for the LM viewing windows.
Moon Tiles
Found in \LANDSITE, these tiles also get their own image files. The implication is that an image of the lunar surface might've been randomly generated from these tiles at some point.
Moon Strips
It's probably a safe assumption that the External Camera pan in the Lunar Module derives from these two files.
Lunar Surfaces
Also in \LANDSITE are these rather lovely recreations of the lunar surface, which ties into...
Landing Site
A cutout of the lunar surface with a triangle on it, presumably marking a landing site.
Renders
Oddly enough, a 3D render of craters which are exaggerated in the Z axis for better visualization.
Buttons
Auxiliary Controller
Buttons for the auxiliary controller, with and without a square cut out of the middle.
Everything Else
LM Closeup
\TDOCK has a similar sequence with the LM on its own.
S-4B/LM Closeup
DoD Seal
\PANELS has a picture of the DoD seal. Since one is baked into the FMVs anyway, this is made superfluous.
