Hello.
When i start an SSV Scenario on OpenOrbiter, The Spacecraft doesn't appear.
Maybe is the modules is not compatible with OpenOrbiter?

There is no SSV for OpenOrbiter/Orbiter2024, because that hasn't been released yet.
I'll provide a SSV version for it as soon as the new Orbiter is released.

The link in the manual for the FDF of STS is dead obviously 
Is there another source for these files?

Oh boy, thank you very much!
I was almost panicking. There is nothing worse than losing knowledge and information.It seems I should spend some extra time for just downloading everything I can get (from Mercury to STS and ISS) and store it on different hard drives and places.

That is a good idea, that I actually had before... but AFAIK it is not feasible, as there is no way to show a pdf in a texture. Each page of the checklist would have to be (somehow) converted to dds, with enough quality to be readable, which would easily mean GBs of files per checklist.

Well, an possible alternative would also be converting the checklists into the compressed HTML help format of Microsoft and use Orbiters ingame help, but that doesn't work too well with PADs and other information that is dynamic.
I believe that at least the executive packages could be possible to do, maybe with limitations (eg: only what is possible with sprintf). They depend on the situation and are generated by mission control. An extra dialog window could maybe be easier than rendering on textures in the VC.
