SDK Question Adding Gas to Roger Long's Ships!

[CTarana45]

MaxFuel = 30e6 ; max fuel mass [kg]
Isp = 11e8 ; fuel specific impulse [m/s], aka fuel efficiency

I'm trying to add fuel to four of Roger's vessels! I added the above lines to the .cfg files, nothing happens when I load up Orbiter 2003?
Do I have edit the scenarios too?

Thanks, Guys!

I added the above line to the scenarios and it worked! Roger also used Fuel 1 for the same thing!

You need fuel for the autopilots!

I am not familiar with the vessels in question. If they come with a dll, it's entirely up to the implementation whether or not it respects any cfg parameters. And ususally they don't, because they just hard-code their properties.

I think those didn't, they had been really simple but the scenarios used the old single default propellant resource level format and not the list of filled propellent resources, we use today.

Ah... I never even knew that was a thing.

They were all .cfg vessels! I went back to his site using Wayback Machine and downloaded all his stations! Those are needed the fuel!

The vessels were all .cfg ships. I went back to his website, using the Wayback Machine, and downloaded all his stations! They needed the fuel. I noticed in a few scenarios the ships have a line, Status = Docked, I'm trying to figure out how to undock them!

Well, you could undock them in scenario editor...

That type of scenario editor didn't show up until Orbiter 2006! The scenario editor I have is a little more basic! I can add ships or Kill them! The actual file is editor.dll!

Thanks, Urwumpe!

Oh, I thought you are updating to something recent.

Otherwise, you could of course manually define a new state vector by clever copy and paste - you play a deltaglider scenario, put it into the orbit you want, quit Orbiter and copy the state vector block from the Deltaglider in "(Current State).scn" into your scenario file.

I made a mistake in some the scenarios for the Star Trek Ships. In some scenarios, two ships are in the same spot!
The newer scenario editors From 2006 on are the best!

Thanks, Urwumpe!

I looked over Kulch's Space Tug Docked to the ISS scenario to see why worked!

Kulch is using the DockInfo Command, and I think I'll be editing Roger's scenarios to fix them.
