Still occasionally returning to my Mir Historical Scenarios folder. I have all the flights to Mir simulated up to May 1991, plus all the Shuttle flights to Mir which are in my STS Historical Scenarios folder. I intend to simulate them all the way up to the station’s controlled deorbit in 2001. I...
It's been awhile, had a crazy year on my end. I've taken some screenshots since the last time I shared so I'll share them now.
I reflew STS-61-F with some upgrades to my simulation. The Centaur G-Prime now uses a Spacecraft4 vessel using the mesh from Space Shuttle Ultra's G-Prime. I adapted...
Happy Easter Orbiter Forum! I'm forcing myself to work on the Saturn V, I decided to reverse engineer the values from the AMSO Saturn V rather than try to find the values myself like I had to do with the Atlas. I'm doing testing on Apollo 10 with launches from 39B, with further Apollo missions...
Columbia and Eagle around the Moon.
Falcon landed on the plain at Hadley.
This next one is a bit of a throwback. This is a simulation I did of Challenger on STS-61-F (the flight it was supposed to make after 51-L) about to launch Ulysses to Jupiter on a Centaur G-Prime. The shuttle is...
It's the same thing as those companies that will "sell" you stars to name, it's really meaningless imho. Once human colonization of the Moon starts I imagine it will be treated similar to how Antarctica is treated, where no one country really owns it but rather it is shared for scientific...
Orbiter 2006 - Gemini 9A - Tom Stafford's Angry Alligator
Due to the failure of the fairing to separate after orbital insertion the ATDA was instead used for extensive rendezvous practice rather than docking. Rendezvous from an equiperiod orbit and a rendezvous from an orbit above and ahead...
Gosh, it's been awhile, hasn't it? Life got busy on me these last few months. I've caught the spaceflight bug again so I think I'll start tinkering once more, it's really been too long. Also, last December marked the tenth anniversary of me joining this community of space nerds, it really...
I don’t have autofcs installed on Orbiter 2016. The scenarios load for me if I remove the vesselbuilder spacecraft from the launch scenario, or if I remove it as a payload. It has something to do with how vesselbuilder interacts with igel’s most recent build of Soyuz v1.3. I tried redownloading...
I'm having a lot of success with ASTP, that document is a big help. It's a shame that you can't dock to a live spacecraft that's attached to a Multistage2015 booster, it would make things a lot easier and more realistic instead of having to jettison both spacecraft first. I noticed this issue on...
The ASTP patches shouldn't affect the ability to run a Soyuz or Proton launch scenario. Removing the vesselbuilder craft or making it so it's not attached to the booster allows the scenario to load. If the vesselbuilder craft is attached to the booster, it causes a CTD.
