It’s currently available in our store. The first content pack was for the layers of the atmosphere. We’ve added another two content packs for the solar system. These, and future updates, are free for anyone who has the object.

To access the content, use the codes “inplanets” or “outplanets” and press the “Load Content” button. (To access the atmosphere content, use the code “atmosphere.”)

*These content packs require an internet connection.

What other content packs would you like to see developed?
