And you cannot really make any custom missions (that didn't happen in real life) in Flight Gear like you can in Orbiter. I just believe the systems of this mod have become advanced enough to allow us to have updated textures or a rework of the 3D model inside.

That seems to be an important feature for you, thank you for your answer.

I just believe the systems of this mod have become advanced enough to allow us to have updated textures or a rework of the 3D model inside.

Oh, I needed the laugh after this last week, seriously thanks!
So let's see: no EPS whatsoever, no ECLSS whatsoever, the ascent is currently not good enough for rendezvous, no aborts, OMS/RCS needs to be better, OrbitDAP is missing stuff, TransDAP is a hack, the RMS control drive logic should be in the GPC and is missing stuff, the DPS... well, let's not even start that as I wouldn't finish this year, no radar data + no air data + no MLS + no TACAN/GPS + no IMU + no AA = no navigation at all, missing upper stages, c.g. and aero don't work, etc, etc, etc.
The virtual cockpit rework will need to be done both by "fixing" the MEDS version, and also by adding the MCDS, so that even more data sources are available. The MCDS gauges need to be "driven" instead of "drawn", so the GPCs need to output the data properly, thus it makes sense to work (at least) that part of the GPC software first.
Plus, when I do that, I'll have to get the lighting as final as possible, as there I'm not interested in remaking textures and logic to add the lighting later, so I'm still waiting to see what happens in that front. Meanwhile, there is much of code to write and fix, and occasionally something "visual" gets better, like the ODS panel.

Interesting bug, when I go to CSS for pitch, the elevons disappear.

So this issue should now be fixed: some divisions by 0 were happening in AerojetDAP, as at the time I didn't have all the information I have now. Quick fixes are in place for the next releases, and a (more) correct implementation will likely exist in the v2.0 release.

Was the vehicle still flying, rolling down the runway or was it already stopped? Did you press the CSS PB or just moved the RHC to go manual?

i see youve already replied, but its only when im on the runway

can we view the OBSS video feed thru the CCTV system?

can we view the OBSS video feed thru the CCTV system?

No, not yet... it is something I want to do, but it will require lots of math to figure out the position and orientation of the camera in relation to the OV... or some "inter-vessel magic", which might not be very safe.

So, i have a little bug after using the RMS, follow the power down checklist, i select RMS power to off and front FLT CTRL PWR to on, and also change back to RCS (CTRL+A), but the front THC and RHC don't work, i only able to use THC and RHC of the aft bay to fire RCS thrusters, I don't know if it's something related to some incorrect configuration on my part or if it's actually a bug. Some help ?

Usually in orbit only the aft Display Driver Unit (DDU)* is on, so that scenario probably has the left and right DDU CBs pulled on panels O14/15/16. Put them in, and the forward controllers should work.

*) in the MEDS flight deck, the DDU only provides power to the controllers.

Rough but here is sts61b I had to remake the ASE to fit the SSV. But The EASE is from STS_payloads. I is a bit too large for the shuttle as it was designed for Shuttle Fleet. I just made a new cfg for attachment purposes

The release day keeps on giving!!!

As a final send-off to Orbiter 2016, I'm releasing a final version (v1.10), with some minor fixes. https://github.com/GLS-SSV/SSV/releases/tag/v1.10

The main course is v1.11 for the new Orbiter 2024!!! https://github.com/GLS-SSV/SSV/releases/tag/v1.11

No major additions or changes, other than some improvements brought on by the new Orbiter. The bigger ones are the addition of docking motion by @jarmonik, and the switch to XRSound (still a bit green).

 

[Tiny_Bob]

so is this v1.11 on GH compatible with OpenOrbiter/Orbiter 2024 as it is today?

*EDIT: Didn't realize that 2024 officially released today

Yes sir!!!
One advantage of having an open-source Orbiter (or access to beta versions), is that I can get things ready on my end, and so when a new Orbiter comes out, SSV is on the pad ready for launch!

 

[Snax]

Many many thanks for your fork @GLS This is a great gift for this year end

 

[Snax]

I couldn't wait lol, imported my custom mission from SSV 1.9 Orbiter 2016 and worked instantly in Orbiter 2024, perfect, I know what I'm gonna do tonight now lol

Not sure if already mentioned, but the Flight Data Files are no longer available on the NASA site (https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/news/flightdatafiles/index.html). I've been searching for copies but I haven't been able to find any.

They can still be obtained through the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/2020111...nters/johnson/news/flightdatafiles/index.html

This issue has been fixed, thanks!

Hi, I downloaded SSV in Orbiter 2024 it was working perfectly fine for me in Orbiter 2016.

But now with each Scenario I get this error 000079.119: (SSV_0V) [ FATAL ERROR ] Exception in clbkLoadStateEx: ADI_MEDS . msh Loadding failed.

I think am I not doing something right

Did you install the correct SSV version in the Orbiter you're using?
The official usage is:

• Orbiter 2016: install SSV v1.10
• Orbiter 2024: install SSV v1.11

That sounds like you're missing a mesh. Try reiïnstalling. Make sure you're preserving the directory structure of the files getting copied in.

It could also be something like anti-virus or file permissions (don't install in Program Files), but check the above first.

 

[Gieno]

So, I didn't download the Orbiter 2024 SSV v1.11 and which I did now. And installed it in the directory structure of the files where it should get copied into.

It seem to be working but the vessel itself is missing.

with these 4 errors
