GLS: While you're doing ground stuff, could you deactivate GVA venting at T-4 minutes instead of being coincident with GVA hood retraction as that's when venting from the ET LOX vents stopped as LOX Drainback was initiated.

Level 16 by default, Earth is level 19 with the high resolution package.

Yes, everything is calculated relative to the sun so once you get far enough away from it, the precision of the engine just collapses as it is in the end just a double precision floating point integer number. Eventually the numbers get so big that things like docking becomes impossible due to...

Can someone please take another go at this issue: https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter/issues/382 I have hit a bit of roadblock thanks to no information whatsoever when trying to troubleshoot a CTD issue involving a base cfg file. This is is the verbose log file output: *** Orbiter.log...

Another sun issue. The solar disc is not hidden by base meshes as shown in the attached screenshot. The rays are hidden as expected but the disc is still visible when it should be hidden.

Is there a upper limit to the number of metalness textures that a single vessel can use? I've attached a screenshot showing the problem. Despite the radiator panels and Ku band antenna having properly made metal and roughness textures, they're not rendered. Other textures that also have metal...

Yes, remove all the files it created, and extract them into a temporary folder and then run the Setup.exe file in that folder.

No. ISS remains in its normal LVLH attitude until capture is sensed. Just follow the Rendezvous checklist and you will be fine.

In that case, it's already possible. This is from the Lua implementation of the default Atlantis: function define_animations() local midx = 1 -- mesh index for all external animations local vidx = 2 -- mesh index for all VC animations -- ***** 1. Cargo door and radiator animations...

Yes, they're in actual HST EX code, not in the config file. You could could try adding new ones in the config file to see if they override the hard coded ones in the HST EX module.

She was the Orbit 2 (afternoon on-orbit shift in STS FCR) for STS-114 in July 2005. She was also the Orbit 2 (lead ISS shift) CAPCOM during STS-121, the following year.

Just about every GPU on the market can handle 8096x8096 with no issues and no frame drops. My now obsolete 7700K/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER had no issues handling the super-high res orbiter textures by Wolf.

No, ISS live downlinks have existed for quite a while: Standard Definition, with Space/Ground audio: High Definition, sans Space/Ground audio:

I ripped the orbiter ac sound from this video of the immediate post-landing activities and subsequent tow to OPF-1 after STS-132:

New Glenn doesn't have an RTLS profile st this time, only a downrange barge landing, the entry burn is where they lost the stage on the first launch.

Actually, having the xenon lights for the rollout was the exception not the rule.

Also, the spacing between the different carriers are incorrect. The SAC for example is located too much aft and too close to the ORUC and the FSS is located too far aft.

Noticed that STS-61 is flying extra mass in the form of the Multi Use Lightweight Equipment (MULE) carrier. The MULE was first used as HST Space Support Equipment (SSE) on STS-109/SM3B in March 2002. STS-61 only flew the Solar Array Carrier (SAC), the Orbital Replacement Unit Carrier (ORUC) and...

Pad vessel animations are controlled by a dialog window accessed by selecting the appropriate pad vessel (either LC39x or SLC-6) and pressing Ctrl-Spacebar.
