Hello
Yes, I seem to recall encountering this problem in the past.
There is a solution:
Edit the mesh (with notepad) representing the hill and add FLAG 1 to the beginning of each group.
Example:
If there are multiple groups, you must do the same thing.
Your mesh will no longer have shadows.
Hi Matias
Sure.
I'll try to make you a zip file with a "secial" 4-boosters configuration
with all the files needed to make it work.
I might not have time tonight, but at the latest tomorrow. 🐌
To build a rocket, I recommend "Multistage"
Multistage2015 works very well with Orbiter 2016
A version recompiled by Matias (included in my Ariane 6 add-on) works well in Orbiter 2024 (except for the boosters, which cause problems).
A Multistage2026 version is currently being developed by...
Hi Matias
Another small thing I noticed (again, nothing serious, minor) 😅
Just a reminder about my section [Stage_1]
After the separation, the stage_1 should take the name "Stage1"
but it takes the one defined with the "module" command/line
I don't remember if it did same with the...
So I trust in you, and again, take your time. :hailprobe:
Regarding Vesselbuilder, you're brave, because you're taking on a big project.
And here too, if you need a tester, I think I know this module well.
I've found a few (minor) bugs; I can tell you about them when the time comes.
I've made...
Hi Matias (and Gattispilot ;) )
So here are the results of my tests with 2 groups of Boosters :
2 boosters from my Ariane 5 rocket
4 boosters from my Ariane 6 rocket
(I've made a 6.6 Ariane 6 rocket.... ) 🤣
Just a clarification regarding the Ariane 6 4 boosters :
N=1 because there's 1...
Hi Matias :cheers:
So here are the results of my tests.
(I replaced all the capital letters with lowercase letters, as you told me.)
[BOOSTER_1]
eng_tex=ok
eng_pstream1=ok
[STAGE_1]
eng_tex=ok
eng_pstream1=ok
[STAGE_2]
eng_tex=ok
eng_pstream1=ok
[FX_VENT]
eng_tex=ok...
I found something else... :geek:
So I replaced the capital letters with lowercase letters.
But I still didn't have the satellites (flight 268).
And I quickly understood :
With MultiStage 2015, 10 payloads are allowed (see Fred18's doc)
With MultiStage 2026, only 9 payloads are allowed...
Hi Matias
I realize you used the generic Ariane6 6.4 rocket.
In the instructions for modifying the .ini file, I used the rocket from flight 267 here :
https://www.orbiter-forum.com/resources/ariane-6-flight-va267.5697/
And excuse me, there are no boosters to simulate the deluge in these...
So I do it.... 🥸
1°/ To have a configuration with a single group of 4 boosters :
(in fact, there is a single mesh containing the 4 boosters, and
after separation, a Vesselbuilder vessel is created, which builds and ejects the 4 separate boosters
and delete the single boosters mesh)
So here's...
@Matias : Here are a few details about my guidance file that might help you:
Here is the beginning of the guidance file:
-70=orbit(460,465,73)
-68=PlaySound(Sounds\Multistage\A6_267\moins de bruits svp.wav)
-60=PlaySound(Sounds\Multistage\A6_267\H-moins-1mn.wav)...
No problem, take your time.
As I was saying, the Multistage version October 31, 2025 works very well for me :
as long as we don't declare more than one booster, I haven't detected any issues with this version.
So this doesn't hinder me in the development of my Ariane rockets.
Yes, that's right...
Hi Matias
So here are the results of my tests.
For this, I used my Ariane 6 rocket.
Let's assume I'm only mentioning what doesn't work.
The rest works (at least I think so).
[BOOSTER_n] Section
Eng_tex : ok
Eng_pstream1 : no smoke
Now we can have multiple boosters (I only tested it with...
Thanks, Matias. :hailprobe:
I'm trying to find the time tomorow for testing your module with my Ariane 6 rocket.
(I'm also currently building an Ariane 5.)
As soon as I've done some tests, I'll tell you
