No problem,I am getting a CTD on the cargo versions,and nothing in the log.Thanks

 

[gattispilot]

Weird. Do any of the other scenario work?

I wiil get back with you later about the scenarios,I also see that the altair scenario fairing atachment point is off.

Hi John,

It looks like the fairings with CARGO in the title are missing from the meshes. For example, in the SLS130_CREWEUS.scn, it lists several such fairings, ie:

PAYLOAD SLA1 slsCARGOorionfair1 slsCARGOorionfair1

Pretty sure this is why the cargo flights won't load, but nothing shows in Orbiter.log.

 

[gattispilot]

Ok. try this:

[cymrych]

OK, that's seems to have mostly taken care of it.

I did have to modify the name of 2 meshes, however.

In the main Meshes folder, slspayloadfair1.msh and slspayloadfair2.msh each had a typo in the name .... slspayloadf*l*air1.msh. Deleted that extraneous "l", and all the scenarios that I have the payloads for seem to load just fine!

Cheers!

On the PG boosters. This is what I get. But when I launch no lift?

I can get SLS 70 to show up, but won't lift off either. Thanks for all the work you are doing for this project.

 

[gattispilot]

Does it fall thru when you press the LAunch buttom on the tower?

 

[Harry]

No, it doesn't fall through the tower. Nothing happens when I hit the launch button, I can hear the engines, but nothing on the screen shows the engines running. When I hit F3 and choose the slsbase, I hit the launch button, the main engines ignite, but not the SRB's.



When I release the launch button, the main engines stop, but the SRB's shoot up in the air, but don't ignite, they just go up a ways,m then fall back to the ground.

I hit the launch button again, and the main engines run, but the vehicle doesn't lift off, it just sits there.


Nothing happens if you select the SRB;s to launch either, they don't light up at all. Can't wait until you get this sorted out, I like this project you have started!:thumbup:

 

[gattispilot]

Weird. You should f3 to the SLS core apply thrust + keypad. the f3 to the tower and press space. Then press launch. the ship should rise up. All Launch does is dettach the attachment.

I assume you have Velcro rockets, right?

 

[Harry]

Yes I do have Velcro installed. I'll give that a try, thanks.

Got to be an easier way to get this vehicle off the ground, it just keeps falling through the tower and goes no where.

 

[gattispilot]

Which scenario? I just tried the SLs70 cargo and worked fine.

 

[Interceptor]

Your not using statesaver,or UCD are you? I have run into problems with these two addons with Velcro rockets in the past,that could very well be what's causing you problem.

 

[Donamy]

Attachment manager is another.

 

[Harry]

Not using statesaver, don't know what UCD is, and haven't installed Attachment manager
unless it comes with another addon. Have tried the SLS70 Crew scenario, and the one that comes with the Orion addon by francisdrake. Neither one lifts off, but I can launch the Orion on the Delta 4 just fine. Could use some help with the steps you should use to launch this thing. Seems confusing to keep jumping around from the tower to the slscore, etc then hit launch button. I hit the launch button with the Delta 4 and it lifts off, this just falls through the tower.

 

[gattispilot]

Ok. Once the scenario is loaded. f3 to SLSCore. Apply thrust to max. f3 to SLStower. Press space and the launch.

Try the SLS70 cargo.

Little OT, but anyone know why UCargoDeck and Velcro rockets never work together? I thought it was just some problem on end.

Just got back after trip to EFT-1, so I have no clue what is going on. Hey, gattis, did you get my tower photos?
