I'll go with Anim8tor, i just need a simple mesh for this test. About creating 3D models, when I look at all the amazing addons on OH, well... I don't see what to do. Even for what I'm thinking about in this topic, everything is made, or will be made soon. I've posted a request for a generic...

Maybe "MATERIAL" first, and "MATERIALS" after. In the doc, it's "MATERIALS" first.

A bit complicated ? :LOL: I've opened the .pdf. And opened some mesh files as to get examples, and tried to find clues. o_O And came to the conclusion that i'll use Anim8tor. :LOL: If only doing such a simple mesh is that complicated to understand, i'll have to bet on my life expectancy ...

Oh ! That's interesting ! Yes, the mesh is clearly negligible, as the vessel has to be invisible. I call this a vessel because this is how it 's called in Orbiter. All true vessels, launchers, payloads, etc, i'd need already exist. Except those vessels i need to create, and later i hope...

OK, Anim8tor downloaded and installed. Right now, i'll push some weight for one hour, and then i become developer. Easy ! :cool:

Yes, there's a lot to learn on the road ! If things go as they should, i'll have much to know about spaceflight too. Those damn' slingshots... :mad: ;) But hey, that's why we love Orbiter ! :cheers:

Hmmm... I think i'm heading to some headache... Orbiter should be delivered with a box of painkillers. Maybe UCSO cargo ? :unsure: Thanx for your kind advices.

So, i need to create a .cfg file. Easy, i've already made a MS2015 launcher from an old addon and it worked. I can take something already existing and torture it until it works as i want. No authorization to ask, the scenario i'll build will never be published. Then i have to create a mesh with...

Hi Max-Q ! That was quick ! :love: Did i tell you i work as quality technician ? :devilish: On the third stage, on the opposite side from the Ion Aerospace marking, between the US flag and the black and white marking, there are black lines, not sure they are wanted. I made the 2500 kg test...

I remember how people were fighting against each other about Anim8tor and Blender on forums. Some were litteraly raging against those who prefered one software than the other. :LOL: But do i realy need to build a mesh for such a vessel ? @MaxBuzz : thanx for the ideas, but those vessels will...

Thanx for the advice, i'll have a look.

Dear community, This time, i'm realy asking something for myself. But it's not only for playing all alone, it could be part of a wider project which could become ( i think ) a cool ( and ambitious ) addon. I need one first vessel as described below, because i have to check things before going...

Hmmm... And i was wrong, because that happened in 95/96... So that was with... Windows 93. Eons... No Internet, no mobiles, everyone smoked in the bureau, and PC' RAM was 128 Mb ! Drawings were made with Rötring ink pens, on articulated drawing tables, with large paper sheets. Corrections were...

OK, as there were updates of Ion 4 & 5 i thought you were still working on them. No problem, as stated, there are stages like this already existing. It's possible to reuse the one provided with gaia mission for example. Of course i could give it a try, but i've never done anything in 3D...

Ok about permission, don't worry i won't forget the artist's name ! ;) For the additional stage, you're right. But at least it could be useful for Ion-4 and Ion-5 i think. It could also allow direct missions to long range targets, or something like Gaia or any Lagrange points missions with...

OK thanx, i'll try to find the attachment point of this payload :LOL: ! Questions about license : do i need your authorization to release scenarios with Ion launchers ? If I change fairing ? If I change payload adapter ? It won't happen soon, but it's better to know now. Question about Ion...

Hi Max-Q ! How can I change payload's position and orientation ? One thing I noticed : 3rd stage mesh seems less cynlindrical than the others. Looks more like a polygon. Those launchers are realy amazing ! Thanx again for that ! :cheers:

Yes, i've understood that. I'm speaking about the player's vessel, not the dev's vessel. I know that, in Orbiter, a single bolt is seen as a vessel as far as it is a single entity (not sure about this name) in the simulator. When a launcher jettisons it's boosters, there are three vessels : the...

Thanx for your answers, and all those good news ! :) No, i don't have anything special to ask about Ion launchers, they are good as they are. I just have things to ask to devs. I need informations because i'm thinking about a pretty large project, and before posting a bunch of requests i'd...

Sorry, i mean the mast, not the arm, between the doors. And the robotic arm off-centered. I've edited my post.
