Description
MeshLand is an Orbiter plugin which offers a vessel-terrain and vessel-vessel collision detection and handling for Orbiter.
MeshLand interfaces with Visosad, which is a rigid body physics simulator.
Key Features
Calculates collisions between vessels, based on real physics (beta only).
Allows to land on terrain meshes, planetary meshes (asteroids) and multi-level structures.

Collision detection is largely independant from the sizes and amounts of landscape details. The performance for engines 1 and 2 is unique.
Generic vessel support allows to use unmodifyed vessels when landing on the landscape (With small limitations).
For advanced features there is Collision SDK.
Also, a "3D surface" MFD is included, which is a scratch of SurfaceMFD with some Visosad controls.
Bugs/limitations
When the vessel is in generic mode (all of them, unless modifyed) landing gears is assumed to be in the same state, that in the beginning of the simulation, no matter what is their current state.
Bases that uses SPHEREMAPPED feature is not supported.
Configuration and documentation is known to be confusing.
