General Question Atlantis recompile

gattispilot · Jan 26, 2018

So orbiter was unzipped to c: drive.

i found 2 of these:

I guess you are saying that you already fixed the root directory macro.
So did you find out if SDKIncludeDir is correct, and why orbitersdk.h is not found?

not sure where to check.
this is what I show for include additional directories.

$(ProjectDir)Atlantis;$(ProjectDir)..;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)

$(ProjectDir)Atlantis;$(ProjectDir)..;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)

$(SDKIncludeDir) should be an inherited entry in the additional include directories. You can check that by picking <Edit...> from the dropdown list. This also provides a list of the macro values, so you can check if $(SDKIncludeDir) is pointing to the correct location (and that orbitersdk.h) is actually there).

I just tried to convert the Atlantis project to Visual Studio 2013 (because I happened to have that lying around), and the compilation went without a hitch. Did you make any manual modifications to the project and property scripts that could have messed up the macros or property sheet inheritance? If you made changes (other than the $(OrbiterDir) macro), then this is just a wild goose chase.

gattispilot · Jan 26, 2018

No changes. Well I glad it works for you.

So on the edit:

DaveS · Jan 26, 2018

Have you tried setting Value="c:\Orbiter2016\orbiter" to Value="c:\Orbiter2016\"?

If your path to orbiter.exe is C:\Orbiter2016 then that is what needs to be set in orbiterroot.vsprops.

martins · Jan 26, 2018

Also, according to your screenshot, no include directories are inherited, so you are not loading the property sheets correctly (which could also be a result of the wrong root directory).

gattispilot · Jan 26, 2018

So when I get to my pc. I will change the directory to "C:\orbiter2016". Any other changes?

jangofett287 · Jan 26, 2018

Click 1.
Double click 2.
Check 3.
Should be in mostly the same place in VS2015 IIRC.

gattispilot · Jan 26, 2018

So I went back and made changes. I used the default Atlantis.

Code:

gattispilot · Jan 28, 2018

So I reran it and it works. So now I have a 2016 Discovery.

So I also added STS payloads and adjusted attachments.

Thanks

gattispilot · Feb 1, 2018

Thanks for all the help.

So we want separate meshes for different shuttles. So I changed the names of the solution and meshes.

When It compiled in made new .dll for srb, tank, and the main one.

In space it is good.

But not so good for launch. The shuttle and ET show docked to srbs but it falls to the ground.

if works if I use the Atlantis_Et, Atlantis_srb. But then You can't just change the mesh out.

2nd issue: Masses/ Thrust.

Atlantis specs:

Code:

const double ORBITER_EMPTY_MASS = 104326.0;
// Orbiter empty mass [kg]

const double ORBITER_MAX_PROPELLANT_MASS = 21600.0;   SSU: 11284.23+ 2162.22= 13446.622
// Amount of fuel the orbiter can hold in internal OMS tanks

const double ORBITER_MAIN_THRUST = 1668652.0 * 1.25;
// Vacuum thrust rating per main engine [N] (x3 for total)
// assuming vacuum thrust is 5/4 liftoff thrust


const double TANK_MAX_PROPELLANT_MASS = 719115.0;
// Main tank propellant mass [kg]

const double TANK_EMPTY_MASS = 35425.0;
// Main tank empty mass

const double SRB_MAX_PROPELLANT_MASS = 502126.0;
// SRB propellant mass [kg]

const double SRB_EMPTY_MASS = 87543.0;
// SRB empty mass [kg]

const double SRB_ISP0 = 3574.68;
const double SRB_ISP1 = 2859.74;
// SRB vacuum and sea-level fuel-specific impulse [m/s]

It seems to be a big different in this an SSu ones?

SSU

Code:

const double ORBITER_EMPTY_MASS_OV102 = 80739.44;
const double ORBITER_EMPTY_MASS_OV099 = 79429.01;
const double ORBITER_EMPTY_MASS_OV103 = 77564.3;

That's why it it's filed as a bug, they're not correct (the default ones). The SSU specs are.

gattispilot · Feb 1, 2018

Thanks. I can recode that easily.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_external_tank
So what I see for Atlantis Et is 35425.0+ 719115.0= 754540
Standard weight tank ssu= 35425+624252+104463.23 =764140.23

Atlantis:
const double ORBITER_EMPTY_MASS = 104326.0;
// Orbiter empty mass [kg]

SSU 78017.89
wiki: 68,585

So the Orbiter Empty mass seems to be wrong

Our values for the technical specs comes from verified NASA/shuttle contractor sources (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, United Space Alliance etc) not untrustworthy sources like Wikipedia. So ours are good so I highly recommend using those.

gattispilot · Feb 2, 2018

Thanks. I will.

So When I make a discovery new dll I will use the specs for OVD-103

I think why the ET and shuttle are falling thru. It may be looking for Atlantis_srb. So I might check that out.

It is something in the SRb code. The new tank, dll and cfg are good. Thanks 4thRock

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

Ok. I found this in the Atlantis code.

I changed the Atlantis to Constellation.

Code:

void Atlantis::clbkPostCreation ()
{
	char name[256];
	VESSELSTATUS vs;
	VESSEL *pV;

	VESSEL4::clbkPostCreation();
	if (status < 3) {
		OBJHANDLE hET = GetDockStatus (GetDockHandle (1));
		if (!hET) {
			strcpy (name, GetName());
			strcat (name, "_ET");
			hET = oapiGetVesselByName(name);
			if (!hET || strcmp (oapiGetVesselInterface(hET)->GetClassName(), "Constellation_Tank")) {
				GetStatus (vs);
				hET = oapiCreateVessel (name, "Constellation_Tank", vs);
			}
			Dock (hET, 1, 0, 1);
		}
		pET = (Atlantis_Tank*)oapiGetVesselInterface(hET);
		if (status < 2) {
			pV = oapiGetVesselInterface (hET);
			for (UINT i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
				OBJHANDLE hSRB = pV->GetDockStatus (pV->GetDockHandle (i+1));
				if (!hSRB) {
					sprintf (name, "%s-SRB%d", GetName(), i+1);
					hSRB = oapiGetVesselByName(name);
					if (!hSRB || strcmp (oapiGetVesselInterface(hSRB)->GetClassName(), "Constellation_SRB")) {
						GetStatus (vs);
						hSRB = oapiCreateVessel (name, "Constellation_SRB", vs);
					}
					pV->Dock (hSRB, i+1, 0, 1);
				}
			}
			if (status < 1) {
				if (launchelev) {
					pET->SetSRBLaunchElevation (launchelev);
				}
			}
		}
	} else {
		if (hDockET) {
			DelDock (hDockET); // remove the ET docking port
			hDockET = NULL;
		}
	}
	EnableSSME (status < 3);
	EnableRCS (status == 3);
	EnableOMS (status == 3);
	//SetADCtrlMode (status < 3 ? 0 : 7);

	UpdateMesh ();
}

Then in the scn:

Code:

STS-131:ShuttleConstellation2016

  POS -80.6208630 28.6270927

It seems the shuttle creates the tank and srb. But when I run the scn. The Shuttle is alltogether meaning the srb and Tank are docked to the shuttle.

But it falls thru the pad.

So looking at launchelev
in the srb code:

Code:

void Atlantis_SRB::SetLaunchElevation (double elev)
{
	if (launchelev = elev) {
		TOUCHDOWNVTX launch_tdvtx[ntdvtx];
		memcpy (launch_tdvtx, tdvtx, ntdvtx*sizeof(TOUCHDOWNVTX));
		for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
			launch_tdvtx[i].pos.z -= elev;
		SetTouchdownPoints (launch_tdvtx, ntdvtx);
		SetSize (23.0+elev);
		

	}
}

When I run the scn when it starts to fall thru:

Code:

Code:

double launchelev;                         // elevation of launch stack on the ground [m]

So I couldn't see where elev was calculated?

Well I got it to work. But if I want a new mesh for the srb. It puts the default one.

Code:

Atlantis_SRB::Atlantis_SRB (OBJHANDLE hObj)
: VESSEL2(hObj)
{
	// preload mesh
	hSRBMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("shuttlesrbnew_1");
}

Code:

void Atlantis::clbkPostCreation ()
{
	char name[256];
	VESSELSTATUS vs;
	VESSEL *pV;

	VESSEL4::clbkPostCreation();
	if (status < 3) {
		OBJHANDLE hET = GetDockStatus (GetDockHandle (1));
		if (!hET) {
			strcpy (name, GetName());
			strcat (name, "_ET");
			hET = oapiGetVesselByName(name);
			if (!hET || strcmp (oapiGetVesselInterface(hET)->GetClassName(), "Atlantis_Tank")) {
				GetStatus (vs);
				hET = oapiCreateVessel (name, "Atlantis_Tank", vs);
			}
			Dock (hET, 1, 0, 1);
		}
		pET = (Atlantis_Tank*)oapiGetVesselInterface(hET);
		if (status < 2) {
			pV = oapiGetVesselInterface (hET);
			for (UINT i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
				OBJHANDLE hSRB = pV->GetDockStatus (pV->GetDockHandle (i+1));
				if (!hSRB) {
					sprintf (name, "%s-SRB%d", GetName(), i+1);
					hSRB = oapiGetVesselByName(name);
					if (!hSRB || strcmp (oapiGetVesselInterface(hSRB)->GetClassName(), "Atlantis_SRB")) {
						GetStatus (vs);
						hSRB = oapiCreateVessel (name, "Atlantis_SRB", vs);
					}
					pV->Dock (hSRB, i+1, 0, 1);
				}
			}
			if (status < 1) {
				if (launchelev) {
					pET->SetSRBLaunchElevation (launchelev);
					
				}
			}
		}
	} else {
		if (hDockET) {
			DelDock (hDockET); // remove the ET docking port
			hDockET = NULL;
		}
	}
	EnableSSME (status < 3);
	EnableRCS (status == 3);
	EnableOMS (status == 3);
	//SetADCtrlMode (status < 3 ? 0 : 7);

	UpdateMesh ();
}

Gattispilot, are you still asking questions here, or just posting your progress?

gattispilot · Feb 4, 2018

Sorry. I guess the questions is how to get different meshes for srb and tank to show up.

I creates a Constellation_srb.dll. But in the Atlantis_srb. I have the Mesh set differently.

So I found if I used something other than Atlantis_tank and Atlantis_srb. Then it falls thru or doesn't work properly.

so if we want to change the srb mesh to this we can't. This is from ms2015

Gattis,

I tried to setup Constellation shuttle using Multistage.
As soon as I add the shuttle .dll as MS2015 payload, it creates a main tank on it's own.
So there's something on the original Atlantis code that spawns the tank.

General Question Atlantis recompile
