Does it make anyone else really sad to see her in a cage instead of flying free above the Earth? =(

Just wait for the wind implementation in the upcoming Orbiter version. It will be one less "random event" to set up just in a spreadsheet.Quote:Originally Posted by garyw
I set up a 'random events' section in Excel. This means that the weather at my launch, landing and abort sites might not be good enough to land. Keeps the mission interesting because it has conditions that need to be adapted to.

@astrosammy: I have always wanted to do at least one realtime mission sometime but I can never find the time to conduct one. Also I'm waiting for SSU (and a computer that can handle it) so that there are more things to do while in orbit.Posted 06-29-2011 at 03:20 PM by zerofay32

Always great to read this. All the programs I started usually ended after the first flight. Maybe I'll make another real time mission soon... Maybe a flight to Apophis.Posted 06-29-2011 at 10:56 AM by astrosammy

Sounds good. I set up a 'random events' section in Excel. This means that the weather at my launch, landing and abort sites might not be good enough to land. Keeps the mission interesting because it has conditions that need to be adapted to. However, because I enjoy the planning as much as the mission sometimes what should be a simple mission can be two or three months in the making.
And with this VSA fever I should do an ISA blog!Posted 06-29-2011 at 10:05 AM by garyw

Thanks to you both. Good to hear that I'm not just bloging to myself (not that I would stop )
For me, it adds a little bit more of a story line to fictional missions. I've even used Shuttle Fleet's engine failure feature to add a little uncertanty to the older shuttles (not that it's any more reallistic) With Discovery, there is a 15% chance of an engine out during ascent. Atlantis has an 11% chance and Endeavour has a 7% chance. The other two shuttles in my fleet are only 2 or 3 years old so they have a 0% chance.
Like I said, not realistic but keeps me honest on my abort trainningPosted 06-29-2011 at 01:21 AM by zerofay32

Now this is an example of how a VSA should be run. Details, mission achievements, goals, plans, etc. Awesome stuff as always Zerofay32!Posted 06-28-2011 at 10:22 PM by garyw

Fair enough - safe flight!Posted 12-03-2010 at 08:59 AM by garyw

STS-211
Well, some middeck transfers. A Logistics flight is planned to fly in July (STS-213-LF7) so any large stuff is manifested for that flight. After her OMDP Discovery, like her sisters, will be able to carry more items on the middeck. All shuttle flights will have a max crew of five with most having four. This allows more space and weight to be dedicated to both up and down logistics.Posted 12-03-2010 at 04:16 AM by zerofay32

The goals of the program look promising. Its just the question if they will ever happen. Hope it all works out in the end!Posted 07-09-2010 at 02:53 AM by FSXHD

You should also be able to take the meshes used by Artlav's Nebo module and place those where ever you like.Posted 06-02-2010 at 02:20 PM by garyw
