OHM Better ISS

[Max-Q]

I will work on the SSRMS. As far as lights, Crew 2 did a flyaround as they departed and during the night part the ISS lights were on and I don’t remember any red and green lights. As far as the cupola window covers and the window cover on destiny, I intentionally held off on this because I am planning a VC at some point and would just do all animations at this time.

About the SSRMS: I can't find a grapple fixture on the earth facing side of Unity.

if you add the working RMS it should be attached to the Unity module on the Earth side

There is not one on Harmony either. The only grapple fixture that is kinda on the earth facing side in on Destiny. Put it there?

In other news, the window covers on the Cupola and Destiny are working, and the VC is coming along well. Unfortunately, US side only.

Spoiler: VC Preview

There is no grapple fixture on Unity, even in real life. During STS-88 (Endeavour), it is able to be grappled by the shuttle arm via the PMA-2

https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/...022-jsc-iss-guide-2015-update-111015-508c.pdf according to this, other than Harmony and Destiny, Columbus and the Cupola have one PDGF each. Apparently STS-134 installed one on Zarya too, and I'm not sure but Kibo could have one as well. Then there's the MBS with 4.

I was wrong on the grapple fixture on Unity it was on Destiny and maybe one on Harmony

thank you for this, some solid work there
but can I ask something about Orbithangar page ?
am I missing something, I can't see nowhere the latest files added there
looking at "Newest Uploads" neither "Home", "Search" or "Browse"
is there some option "latest updated" or something, I can't see it.
it's quite hard to find files, there must be some other way, right ?

It still uses the same link (see the very first post of this thread), just the files uploaded were changed

Great work on the VCs. Feel free to add my Zvezda interior if you want: https://www.orbithangar.com/showAddon.php?id=0eaf56bf-a08f-478f-b081-b64e7f4e9cf5
You are free to redistribute the meshes/textures (let's avoid install dependencies...).
The model is very basic compared with the US interiors, but better than nothing.

Sorry about the silly question but wasn't ISS AtoZ already an enough detailed/complete replica of the real world one?

 

[gattispilot]

I wondered about that. But This seems to load easier.

Very nice addon! Qudos to MaxQ

From a purely graphic point of view this is what I noticed at a first glance:
it is not on par with ISS AtoZ but yes it loads faster and it is far less demanding on the hardware (FPS loss is negligable compared to ISS AtoZ) so I guess it is a very good compromise between the stock ISS and ISS AtoZ and surely the best option for low end machines.
As far as functionality and usability is this a step forward compared to Donamy's ISS?

The graphical issues of Donamy-Thorton ISS is one of the reasons I don't like the add-on pack. However, I still longed for an ISS add-on that don't focus much more on exterior aesthetics and runs more smoothly on potato computers. Now I saw this thread and I love this add-on as it fulfills my demand.

We're in 2021 and in this case you can't really say FPS is "an issue". By 2005 GPU standards, maybe...

I know that mate.
guess I wasn't totally clear. sorry about that
I mean about all mods in Orbit hangar, how can you see the latest mods ?
I can, for an example, type "2016" and I get this result:

https://www.orbithangar.com/search.php?query=2016

but are they in chronological order, I can't see that at all.
can't remember it was like that before
(and if they are then why your mod isn't the latest then?)

The thing (I think) that sets this apart from ISS A to Z is the fact that it is a single vessel instead of dozens of spacecraft3 and dll vessels docked/attached together. I also wanted something that is scenario editor compatible.

And it has a VC…

Earlier (before the OH update) it was possible to sort addons by time, so I got a 15 gigabyte orbiter 2010

Same here! To many addons…

lol
yeah, I still have that old "Orbiter2014" installation.
don't start that exe at all but keep it you know... for old times sake ?
and I said to myself "ok I'll be more selective with this one Orbiter2016!"
but sometimes it's hard to resist you know... it's like a caffeine addiction ?
