Ariane 6 european rocket

I've just been doing this:


On the bottom part I put what changed. Then when you click download on the addon page it defaults to this latest zip, and on the Updates tab you can have a running changelog for each version. Under History I think you as the owner can delete older releases, though I haven't used that yet.

Thanks Diogom

Easy , but I hadn't noticed it properly...

Indeed, I was able to upload the file.

Thanks again.

(I'll update the text later; I don't have time right now.)

Congratulations @jacquesmomo on the release of your add-on update!

I'm also glad you were able to achieve this despite Multistage2026 not being ready yet. Regarding the latter, I'm very excited about the new method I've implemented to continue development, and I think this time I'm on solid ground.

If all goes well, we'll be able to enjoy your creations on Linux too.

just have the look of the ini files :
"boosters" are "stage" and when they are jetissoned, 2 new "vessels" are create : Vesselbuilder boosters 1 and 2 (and 1 to 4 for the 6.4 version).
(same for the fairing)

so we can mix multistage and vesselbuider....

Now I hope i'll have more time to test your future new multistage

I've also been a bit confused by the options there... we need a small tutorial on to post an addon, and then how to update it, replace it, post a new version, or other options that might be available. @Xyon

Hiya.

You update an add-on with this button, modelled here by my very fresh and recent add-on for Orbiter 2010-P1:



This takes you to this next page, which gives you a couple of options. If you want to change the actual file download, you need to make sure this underlined box is ticked:



And from these options you can pick a new file to become the updated download.

You can optionally also issue an "update" to the add-on's name or text (think patch notes, here, for this new release). It is perhaps not the most clearly worded system, but I didn't write it

 

[Lucy]

Oh yeah, the conversation after that moved on and you already did the thing, oh well. Yay!

Hi

Just to let you know that I'll soon be releasing on OrbitHangar an update for ELA-4, the Ariane 6 launch site in Kourou, French Guiana.



I've fixed some bugs and added a lot of scenery. objects. (list in the documentation.)

In summary :

Added the southern area (office and storage area)



Added the water treatment and storage area :



At the entrance, there's a model of Ariane 6 and a signpost :



And most importantly, I've added another version of the umbilical mast designed for the Ariane version, with its long fairing :

Hi

I just uploaded an update (english version) for thze ELA-4 ariane6's launch site (on Orbithangar ) HERE :

There is a french version here :

Here is the list of updates:

1) THE GANTRY or MOVING TOWER
- Added the two missing "ESA" signs on the side
- Modified the two "CNES" signs on the front wall (they were a bit too large)
- Slightly reduced the height of the upper window on the front wall
- Added (and therefore modeled) the four hinges for the main doors
- Added a TEXTURE_NORM file (for the relief)
- Modified the rear wall of the gantry with a now functional opening door (the shutter opens upwards)
- Added the walkways and roof railings (at the very top)
- Added the doors and openings for the small blocks at the four corners of the tower (texture only)

2) THE UMBILICAL MAST
- Added the missing "ESA" logo to the rear of the mast
- Moved the "ESA" logo from the front, which was too high
- Modified the shape of the upper green guard
- Added the guard located between the articulated arms
- Modified the position of the origin of umbilical port #2 (offset to the right)
- Added the connection system for the upper umbilical port (the one used for the long fairing)
- Added the connection system for the umbilical port #1
- Added the three cameras and spotlights
- Improved the appearance of the umbilical ports (better-designed tubes)
- Removed the extra door on the rear of the mast
- Added a second version of the Umbilical Mast (for Ariane 6.4 equipped with the long fairing)

3) THE BASE or MINI-MAST
- Added two reinforcing triangles on each side
- Added the bases with their fixing bolts
- Added the door on the "other side" (and therefore the rungs), which is higher than the other
- The two access doors (walkway level) are now higher
- The two access doors (upper level) are also higher and now reversed
- Added a few rungs and the two vertical bars on the side of the upper doors
- Modified the 3D model so that the closing doors align with the electromagnets at the top of the system.
- Shortened the hinge arms of the closing system
- Added details to the hinge arms of the closing system (the "armrest")

4) THE ELA4 SITE AREA
- Added the small building located between the mobile tower and the PAD
- Added several small buildings and pylons around ELA4
- Added yellow and black ground markings and the yellow line in front of the PAD
- Added red squares on either side in front of the water deluge pipes
- The red and white walls around the tanks are now lower
- Added red and white walls between the small buildings
- Added the LH2 zone and the LOX zone (the LOX zone is currently a clone of the LH2 zone)
- Added a processing zone (between the PAD and the BAL)
- Added the easement zone (offices and storage at south of the BAL)

5) THE WATER TOWER AREA
- Added the concrete slab under the base of the pipe
- Modified the size of the black section of the pipe (smaller)
- Added the small building on the side
- Added red and white walls along the road leading to the PAD

6) DLL FILES
- File modification because the rotation axes of the umbilicus have changed
- Added a second version of this file for the Ariane 6.4 version equipped with the long fairing
(An additional scenario has been added with this version)
These files are located in the...\Modules\Kourou folder
• File ELA4_Mat.dll for Ariane short fairing model (ELA4_Mat.msh file)
• File ELA4_Mat-L.dll for Ariane long fairing model (ELA4_Mat-L.msh file)

The *.msh files are located in the ...\Meshes\Kourou_Rockets\Towers folder.

Here's what can be done by combining the two Multistage and Vesselbuilder modules....

This improvement will be included in my add-on Ariane 6 flight VA267 (update to come and in addition VA268)
