Piloting the XR2 in beautiful 60 FPS (on a laptop)

Is the XR working 100% in Orbiter 2016 beta?

 

[jroly]

There is a old beta version out for the xr2, I tried it out, seems to work fine but MFD's are not displaying.

I think now the problem may arise from the use of UMMU. dbeachy1 already published a version of the XR2 DLL, which will be fully compatible at least with the current beta (r.46, Jan 27 2016).

Last Saturday was launch day for MER-C! My very first real-time interplanetary mission and the first interplanetary mission for the MSA. Some (post)launch pics:

All stations are GO for launch

Ignition...

Lift-off!

Ground SRM's are gone

Air SRM's are gone

Staging and fairing separation

Coasting for 35 minutes...

TMI ignition

Staging

Separation! Perfect launch, MER-C handed over to MER-C mission control in The Netherlands (MSA HQ)

Sailing away from earth, going through post launch check-out

This image was taken 10 minutes ago, with the Earth and the Moon in the background.

Looks like there is a market for a mobile phone app to check the progress of your Orbiter real-time mission. :hmm:

Hail Columbia! The Space Shuttle Columbia rockets into space on the first Space Shuttle mission, STS-1, piloted by Astronauts John Young and Robert Crippen.

This is my attempt to parody the poster for the IMAX film on STS-1, "Hail Columbia!"

Which addon is that ?

Which addon is that ?

Space Shuttle Fleet? It sure looks like it, as I recognize the ET and SRB meshes. And that's the only Space Shuttle add-on that includes Columbia and the early ET and SRBs besides SSU.

The SSME exhaust particle effects look a lot like David413s style, we are making them different in SSU.

It's Shuttle Fleet 4.8. I made an alternate set of sound files for Columbia the other day using audio from STS-1 if anyone is interested. All the calls from Tower Clear to the go at 8 minutes are there. The audio for a nominal direct ascent is the crew calling ET SEP and the wheelstop audio is John Young calling Columbia the World's Greatest All Electric Flying Machine (I think that's what he says) and calling wheelstop on the orbiter.

I'm slowly working on something like that (a web page). Very slowly to be honest

No problem, I won't be doing it as well, for simply the reason that it is too close to my current paid work (webservices).

Let me know if you have something to see there, I would be interested to see your solution.

On the topic of shuttle missions, here's a shot I took while simulating STS-88, attempting to match the mission patch.

Testing SSU 3.0 on a reentry to Edwards after many years from my last touchdown there.

New Shephard WIP update:

Looks good so far. Can't wait to see some more views of it.

Can/Is this same sort of attention to detail going to be available/done for other locations in the solar system? I'd love to fly down the Valley of the Mariners on Mars with this level of detail....

Yes, as long as you have a source of data at this level of resolution (which I don't think exists), or you have enough imagination to make something up yourself (which will take a lifetime for an area the size of Valles Marineris, unless you are much more efficient at this than I am ...)
