On the view outside:

Hmm, good question. For the ease of implementation, I'd simple render the meshes only in external and VC cockpit mode, leaving the glass cockpit view clear of meshes. Code:
SetMeshVisibilityMode (AddMesh (your_Mesh, &your_ofs), MESHVIS_EXTERNAL | MESHVIS_VC); In addition an extra viewpoint for the [N] toggle would be cool, e.g. a 'docking port cam' looking forward, or located sideways just outside the hatch to look around. |

Hello Brian and Donamy,
Thank you for your super Addon, here are some pictures of the landing of the capsule !! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But concerning the recovery of the DRAGON crew, do not you think that it is rather the US NAVY with a special boat and helicopters, as for Apollo?

Of course, if you think the IDA docking port orientation should be changed, go for it! Quote:
Wish we could have an "External Camera MFD" to show an external viewpoint! But I can put another external viewpoint on the [N] toggle menu, pretty easily. Quote:
great pics as always! Yes, I think they might have a more elaborate recovery operation for the crew. I await some pics/info :-) Cheers, Brian |

Perhaps a view of the docking target, like the one the soyuz uses. I have a similar view I used for the Shenzhou 9.
Also, would it be too much of a problem, to put a slight rocking motion after splashdown ? |

I don't see targets on the ISS, but I do see two points on IDA that look like grapple targets. I could certainly make an external view point to align with one or other of them(quite close together anyway). Or is something further involved? Quote:

Photo of the centerline camera docking target of PMA-2 can be seen in this photo: https://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery.../s110e5071.jpg Everything you need to know about the International Docking System Standard: http://www.internationaldockingstand...n_E_TAGGED.pdf The IDSS is what the the IDA's conform to.

Here is a screen shot of the PVT target on the IDA. I suspect there will be a camera that will focus on it.

Below is my example of the Orion. The first 3 points are for the bottom, the other 3 for the top end of the capsule. Code:
static const DWORD ntdvtx_geardown = 6; static TOUCHDOWNVTX tdvtx_geardown[ntdvtx_geardown] = { {_V( 0,-3.6, -1.2), 9e4, 1e2, 3.0, 0.2}, {_V(-3, 2, -1.1), 9e4, 1e2, 3.0, 0.2}, {_V( 3, 2, -1.1), 9e4, 1e2, 3.0, 0.2}, {_V( 0,-5, 3), 8e4, 1e2, 3.0}, {_V(-5, 4, 3), 8e4, 1e2, 3.0}, {_V( 5, 4, 3), 8e4, 1e2, 3.0} }; |

Thanks DaveS and Don for the info re:docking targets!
Quote:
This is not the case with the IDA add-on as it is. Well, easy enough to make an external viewpoint that aligns with PVT target on IDA, but if IDA docking port is changed to "correct" orientation (same as PMA) then the viewpoint will not be correct. What to do? Think the simplest thing is to go with the IDA configuration as it is. @francisdrake - thank you, thank you! I wondered how you did the bobbing thing :-) Ingenious, I'm surprised it doesn't cause problems with "Landed" status or getting flung into space - will give it a try. Cheers, Brian |
