Just in time for the big crew announcement on Friday. Thanks, Brian!

[Pioneer]

Beautiful! Thank you VERY much Brian!

Again Brian you and Domany make a hit. You might add the port and starboard red and green lights. But so far looks super. You Might add the helium vent pipe to the second stage and have it vent after meco. It really looks super.

Might be time to do an updated ISS. 2016 could use it.
Super job !!!

[BrianJ]

Hey folks, thanks for the kind words.
This is kind of an initial "beta" version.

Still quite a few things to work on or think about - electrical/life support systems simulation; better interior meshes; proper windows; etc.

Hi Barry, glad you like it. Where do the port/starboard lights go?


Cheers,

The ISS A-Z pretty much works for Orbiter 2016. Although, some of the parts that use a .dll, which were coded by others, you can't use interior view, or it crashes. Unfortunately, people have moved on so they can't be upgraded.

Would love to see some new real cockpit shots from SpaceX. (hint Barry)

FWIW, I released a scenario package a few weeks ago that brings the ISS pretty close to its current config as of July, 2018.

To Brian J.


Would you be able to make the crewed dragon dock with IDA. Right now it can"t. Great job by you and Donamy.

I came back from vacation today, watched NASA's announcement on the commercial crew program and found the crewed Dragon has just been released. Wow! Both the visuals and the implemented features are amazing! Thank you, Brian and Donamy!

Just one small wish: I am not used to flying 'blind' from inside the cockpit. Would there be a chance either to
- have the viewpoint of the glass cockpit in front of the vessel, to look around, or
- do not render the cockpit mesh in glass cockpit view, or
- add to the [N] toggle views a viewpoint just outside the capsule?

Do you have a specific add-on in mind? (link if possible please).

Of course :-) Any preference between any of those three options?


So, quite a few updates to make: add a plethora of acquisition lights(might need a button for them too), change main chute deployment (jettison bottom storage cover, change chute attachment point for heads up splashdown), external viewpoint for glass cockpit mode, transparent external windows(requires changing all mesh loading order,aargh) , alternate docking configuration for "IDA"(?), rotate Dragon 90deg on Falcon9 for crew access from Service Tower on LC-39A(?)


Plenty to keep me going, then...


Cheers,
BrianJ

I was just saying it will not dock with Ida that is on Donamys a-z. Thanks for the great work
