Project CST-100 Starliner

[Gargantua2024]

Now all scenarios in the CST-100 v6 files (except for the Edwards landing) stopped working altogether...

I dunno what I did wrong but it seems this addon really hates me

Yeah the CTDs do happen sometime when opening the Starliner scenarios, what I do is that I open some random scenario in Orbiter before selecting Starliner. It somehow makes the CTD on Starliner to not occur for another 2-3 times in my installation

What's frustrating is that it constantly crashes on the D3D9 client, but on a standard 2016 window it works fine :/

Try to create a new vessel for the terrain. Then load it landed.
You can do it using vessel builder. It allows you to adjust mesh height relative to the surface, and to rotate the mesh if necessary.

So... how does that work? And how do I activate Vessel Builder?

I got no CTD's.

So VB is CFG based. So you can copy an existing cfg and rename. Open an scn and load the renamed vessel in. Focus on it press space. OPen a box to make changes.

When it CTD post the log and we might be able to see.

Per ULA's PDF about Atlas V/Starliner, the total mass is 13,250 kilograms.

Is there any way to change the total mass to that number on a config file?

I'm having trouble figuring out where to find this in the messhes, I've installed the Insight mod and the other mod (I forgot what the name is) mod.

Also here's what my LC-41 looks like.

Hi, the launch mass of the CST-100 addon is 13.000 kg (CM + SM + aerodynamic skirt). Sorry, this is currently hard-coded in the dll.

When trying several mods, I really can recommend the Generic Mod Enabler JSGME.
It is easy to use (just create a 'Mods' folder in Orbiter, with the unpacked addons in subfolders)
and each mod can be switched-on and off with a simple click.
This is very helpful to reduce mod clutter in the Orbiter folder and avoid unwanted interference between mods.

Oh alright, I'm going to see if I could add the boosters and things, but I'm not sure where the boosters and things are in the meshes area. Should I just add it in or no?

 

[francisdrake]

Actually the addon brings all meshes and config files with it.
The folder are CST-100, AtlasVN22 and B_SLC41.

Oh now I found the config file for AtlasVN22.

 

[Mr. Residuals]

Thanks. Here it is:

Just ctrl+space opens a dialogue box to rotate the arm and white room and Raise/lower the arm assembly.

In the image the crew hatch appears on the other side. Not sure about that?


So I could make this. So 1 key does the rotation. This is just a generic tower

So far, I just got the launch tower, BUT if I move my camera or do any action, click the camera or anything like that. My screen should go white or frozen and it would crash. At least the tower thing solved my launch pad thing, but the rocket doesn't load directly on to the launch pad.

My screen would turn like this when I just switch the camera position to Target Relative.

 

[Mr. Residuals]

Here's all the photos that I have of the launch pad at the moment. Also I have start paused on.

 

[Mr. Residuals]

But the mod that comes with the tower zip file works.

With Boeing OFT-2 successfully arriving at the International Space Station earlier today, we now have cool new views of its new design features, mist notably the retractable docking cover similar to Crew Dragon's:
