-- Installation --
WARNING - This will overwrite some of the surface tiles for Cape Canaveral. Even
if you change the config file back to its original form, the tiles will still be
changed, and you will have pads C, D and the crawlerway to E in place.
This also overwrites the Canaveral.cfg file. If you had any changes to that
file, you should manually merge your config file and this one.
To install, just unpack the zip with folder names intact, like any other addon.
This config file comes by default using the stock low-detail launch pads that
Orbiter ships with.
-- Better Meshes --
If you want, you can download the detailed pads by Kev33 (Kev Shanow) from Orbit
Hangar. This config file can be easily modified to use his meshes.
First, download the following
http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2590 (Space Shuttle pad and tower)
http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1373 (Apollo 17 pad and launcher)
Next, open up the config file and go to near the bottom. You will see a bunch
of commented-out sections for each pad A-E. Each pad can use the stock objects
(two objects, uncommented originally), the Shuttle pad (one object), or the
Saturn clean pad and launcher (two separate objects).
-- Launching from LC39 --
The included scenario has five copies of the stock Space Shuttle, each in
position on one of the five pads, in order that they flew, so Columbia occupies
pad A, while Endavour stands on pad E. They will all have 'Atlantis' painted
on their wings, though. Use this scenario as a template for placing your rockets
on the pads.
