Sorry for the requested feature that aren't done, I worked again 6 month for Orbiter this years and can't sustain one minute more working for free. (I'm independant programmer)


Have fun

And here are Some ScreenShotZ for the lulz :lol:

The new ShuttleACV (Advanced Cargo Vehicle) external (UCGO version of ShuttleA, I didn't had time to complete it fully but imho it worth a try)

ShuttleACV still have the VC:

I used normal maps so better use DX9 || DX11

The new wheel dust that is available for cars, yet only the Azure have the dust parameter set in defaut package. On the image below you see the Rover of the Orcus Patera addon:

Ooops.... mistake

This is the new virtual cockpit of the Azure Rover:

:hail:Fantastic. I can't believe you've worked so hard for so long to make the Orbiter population so happy.
Thank you Dan

Great! I tried using UMMU for my Skylab B EVA but the visible RCS thrusters made me abandon it.
Good that you fixed that

Merci encore Dan for continuing to devote so much energy to this. We all greatly appreciate the excellent work. And an extra thanks for the PreludeIII! I really like that base and am looking forward to upgrading my solar system.

Thanks Dan :tiphat:

 

[PhantomCruiser]

I downloaded these and took a quick look before I had to take off for work (that ShuttleACV sure looks pretty with an external graphics client).

Very nice work that's sure to remain at the top of the "must have" list along with Orbiter Sound.

Hi Dan,I am sorry for being a nag,and I know you don't want to work on this for awhile,but with the UCGO shuttleA when you close,and open the outer door,it says gear down,or gear up,and when you deploy,and retract the gear it doesn't announce gear up,or gear down,is there a way to correct this? since I am assuming that the UCGO ShuttleA has custom sounds so maybe I could fix it myself.Thanks

Hi Dan.
Just out of curiosity, what did you have in your plans for this ship that didn't make it in the final release?

And by the way, do we just install over the previous versions, without problems?

A full refit of the model and textures and the addition of many details. This is done for the cabin and rear exhaust and some few parts but it miss all other parts (gear, thruster, skeleton)

There is some more details yet as wire and handles

For install yes, no problem, the installer take also care to erase old directory that can cause problem (ie: scenarios that can have outdated & renamed scenarios)

Just noticed that UMMU help pages start with "Universal MMU 2.5 help page".

I am on Orcus Patera and pressed "H" in front of the radar control.
Scenario is ([ Learn] Command Switch for animations.scn).

And being able to walk around on Mars without slowly tipping over...priceless!

Thanks Dan for the countless hours of hard work you've spent for the enjoyment of the community.

Not important but I'm uploading a new package with this corrected.
Thanks
