Assembling the ISS

[Fireproof]

i can get in a stable orbit

 

[garyw]

i am reading it now but what is weird it that most of the time that i crash into planets i know why i crashed but this time i went from 500 something km's to ground level in less than 1 minute

Not according to this you can't.

If you know how to get into a stable orbit (which is one where you stay up in space) then you won't crash or you will at least know WHY you crashed.

Then do that and use the scenario editor bring your module there.
Even better and much more rewarding would be to launch with the module in the first place.

You also could have just copied the information from a scenario file with something in it that is about to dock with the ISS. Or even the ISS itself.

when that happened i was messing around with the scenario editor trying to get my orbit to 400 km's when Zarya just hit the ground without a reentry

thats is what i did when i crashed into the earth

Take a picture with Map MFD and Orbit MFD open so we can see what you are doing wrong

its gone now

what would the Z1 Truss be

 

[JamesG]

Building the ISS in Orbiter would be very tedious (lots of the same launches and dockings over and over again) but at least you would get very good at matching orbits and docking. lol!

yup

here is the next part of the ISS

does anyone know what planet is in the background?

 

[TSPenguin]

I think that is the famous 5 pixel planet.
But to tell what it really is we simply have insufficiant data. User orbiters planetarium mode to see what it is.

I am ???? because in my Config folder there is P3P4 and P6 but i cant use them and i dont know where they can from

here are the files for P3P4 and P6
P3P4
; === Configuration file for P3/P4 truss ===

Meshname = P3P4_ITS_stowed
Mass = 1.8e3
Size = 6.0
Inertia = 7.7 7.7 2.3

; === Docking ports ===
BEGIN_DOCKLIST
0.07 -0.2 -3.2 0 0 -1 0 1 0
END_DOCKLIST

; === Attachment specs ===
BEGIN_ATTACHMENT
P 0 -0.4 -1 0 -1 0 0 0 1 XS
P 0.1 2.0 0.1 0 1 0 0 0 -1 GS
END_ATTACHMENT

P6
; === Configuration file for P6 truss ===

Meshname = P6
Mass = 1.8e3
Size = 6.0
Inertia = 7.7 7.7 2.3
EnableFocus = FALSE
EnableXPDR = FALSE

; === Docking ports ===
BEGIN_DOCKLIST

END_DOCKLIST

; === Attachment specs ===
BEGIN_ATTACHMENT
P -0.10 -0.30 +0.25 0 -1 0 0 0 1 XS

P -5 1.162 -0.769 0 1 0 0 0 -1 GS
END_ATTACHMENT

 

[TSPenguin]

Explain what you mean by you can't use them. They should appear in the scenario editor.

 

[Tommy]

If you mean you can't switch to them using <F3>, that's because you need to have EnableFocus = TRUE in their configs.

 

[Poscik]

yup

It's incorrect configuration. Truss S0 is attached to Destiny, not to Unity. To Unity you have to attach Z1 and later, Quest and other modules, but no matter now.

Here is the chronological ISS assembly table:

It doesn't matter. Airforce_Master_101 will get bored of his station building, not finish it and be back in a week or less with another question for something else he is having problems with.

Thats not nice. There's nothing wrong with asking questions if you need help. That was one thing i really liked about this community: If someone had a noobish question, no one flamed you and said "you noob, you suck". They helped.

Sorry, I wish I could help, but I dont know to much about the ISS. Good luck tho
