[OrbitHangar]

Author: jel

Realistic Hot Air Balloon with an envelope volume of roughly 2,832 m³ (100,000 ft³) that can carry 3 to 5 people for a duration of 1-2 hours.
It's the famous type often seen at balloon-festivals such as that of Albuquerque, NM.

Wow I sure hope it can be made UCGO / UMMU compatible.

 

[Wishbone]

Three rambling thoughts:
A) The file states the add-on is for 101016 beta version, while the OHM tags it as 2010-P1 compatible. Which one is correct?
B) The directory structure is not what one expects from add-ons.
C) The source archive inside the package is password-protected (and thus, triggers my antivirus alert). Why? If it's closed source there's no need to include the sources. If it's open-sourced (anything coming from ShuttlePB IMHO should stay open), password protection is not necessary.

I'll look into that. I don't have any experience with UCGO / UMMU code though, so no promises.

A: it's for Orbiter101016. Sorry about that error.

B: all files are in their correct sub-dirs inside an Orbiter dir. What's wrong with that? You can copy them directly into Orbiter and everything will fit nicely.
If you refer to the fact that the top-dir is called orbiter101016 instead of just Orbiter, then you are correct. That is done to make sure the right Orbiter version is known (and apparently that's a good idea since the zip-name has the wrong Orbiter version number in it )

C: Sorry about your anti-virus alert, I don't get any alerts from my anti-virus though, so maybe yours is configured incorrectly? What virus does it say the .7z has?
The source is semi-protected as a beginning. I may open it later by simply posting the password. The protected zip is included so I can choose who gets access to it (maybe someone skilled in the UCGO / UMMU code if i can't figure that stuff out myself)

Why?

 

[Carmen A]

UCGO and UMMU are very well documented. Adding support for that should be a walk in the park :3

Why?

Because I choose to.

Yeah, I'm reading their SDK pdf's right now, and it seems like it should be possible to add them Stay tuned.

I have a suggestion for you:
Red Bull Stratos. While I have taken this up to 120,000ft and jummped, It just hasn't got the same feel. If possible, could you make it UMmu-compatible? A VC might also be a good option.

I don't think you will get your answer soon.
Maybe if someone has the password to the 7z sourcecode, you could implement it yourself. There's enough documentation around to begin with!

7z sourcecode?

In the download is a folder: Orbitersdk/samples/.
Here you find a file: ShuttlePB - JELAIR HotAirBalloon-VESSEL.7z
This file contains the sourcecode of the add-on, but it's password protected (as you can read in the other comments).

To JEL-
I would very much appreciate it if you could release the password for the source code 7z file. Reason being, I plan to use it to recreate Red Bull Stratos in orbiter 2010 p1. I don't know why you password-protected it, but if you would rather not tell me then that's okay.

Perhaps he password-protected his source code precisely to prevent his hard work from being ripped off by others for use in their own add-ons...

Hello,

I don't really understand the discussion here if nevertheless i remember this addon that i still have on my hard drive and with wich one i have fly at the moment of the release.

But: if the question turn around ummu compatibility, Jelair released in february 2011 ( 17 / 02 ) another Hotairballon

JELAIR-HotAirBalloon(UCGOandUMmu)

[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5092"]JELAIR-HotAirBalloon(UCGOandUMmu)[/ame]

With some source code in it ( cpp...).
