Project Altus AFB ICBM site

Yes, there will be more betas. But I still need to fix some things in the guidance.

Good morning gentlemen,
For Mr. Astrosammy, thank you for the update. I was just concerned because there was no updates on here. By the way, LRO/LCROSS just launched at 5:32. I live 15 miles from pad 41 and I couldn't see it because of clouds !

 

[MJR]

That sucks big time. At least you live there and not in Oklahoma.

 

[Star Voyager]

Good morning gentlemen,
For Mr. MJR, I can always see launch replays :lol:. If you want to see them, they are on NASA Select right now.

 

[MJR]

BTW, do they still have the ICBM in Altus?

 

[Star Voyager]

Good morning gentlemen,
For Mr. MJR, no they were deactivated in 1965. I don't know what happened to the Atlas (they were probably either shipped to here at the Cape or to Vandenberg) but the site is still there. Here is a link:

Just click on one of the sites below to see what they look like.

 

[MJR]

I am pretty sure we still do practice launches with other missles though.

Good morning gentlemen,
For Mr. MJR, I do know that the actual base is used as C-17 transport. I can't imagine that they restored the silos. Perhaps What they are testing is a descendant of the SNARK.

I tried testing the Atlas ICBM Update after installing the base Beta and got a critical error shutdown. Log report said there was no vessel cfg. file found for the Altus\Elev.

I know it's a beta so I looked thru my install and didn't see any corresponding files to whip up a config file from. Did something get left out ?

 

[astrosammy]

Ok, I'll take a look.

Did you download the newest version? I have no problems

I have had this problem yesteday. It was with the newest update of the Atlas ICBM scenario called Altus slio launch. I did not have the newest beta and I got the same thing as you. Then I donwloaded the latest beta and it worked.

Ok, just downloaded the new Beta base. I was using yesterdays version when I got the CTD. It should work now. Thanks for the new link !

 

[MJR]

Btw, I am about to upload a newer version of the W-38 warhead and I already made an interior for the W-38.

How is the guidance file going?

 

[astrosammy]

Good, I made some succesful impacts in Europe and Asia. I still need to do some tweaking of the roll program, but it will be ready tommorow.

 

[MJR]

Sweet. I hit Africa and Russia. Not against any of them that is just where it landed. I updagraded the inside of the W-38 vastly. It looks great.

New Beta: http://astrosammy.l4rge.com/AAFB_090621.exe

 

[MJR]

Yay!

 

[Star Voyager]

Good morning getlemen,
For Mr. Astrosammy, I don't see a difference between beta 90613 and 90621. Could you please clarify this, please?

 

[MJR]

It lets you attach my multistage vessel. Do you think we can tile all of Altus. It would e nice to look back down range from the ICBM and see the town.

 

[astrosammy]

I only added a config file that make it possible to attach MJR's ICBM to the elevator, and a scenario for that. Next thing to do are silo doors.

Yes, more tiles are possible.
