When I first saw drake's Stanford Torus upload on OH, I got pretty excited. I remember reading about the Stanford Torus when I was in elementary school, and I've loved the concept of orbital colonies since.
But when I downloaded the addon and fired up Orbiter, I found that the habitation level wasn't spinning. I was faced with 3 options: Uninstall the addon, ask the developer to fix it, or fix it myself. This was too cool to ignore. Drake's last upload to OH was in early 2005, so I didn't expect to hear from him about this if I did contact him, so I decided to try and fix it myself.
It turns out all I had to do was change a few lines in the .ini and .cfg files. This runs Spacecraft3 now (not included), and the animation works in 2010-P1.
Included is the original mesh, the hires texture, and the original .pdf drake included when he released this. The included scenario has the stock DG docked to the ISS, with the Stanford Torus in GEO over Ecuador.
