Project Constellation Program 2016

[4throck]

Time to test an update of Constellation Program for Orbiter 2016.

• no UCGO or UMMU
• Ares rockets implemented using Multistage2015
• Includes Spotlight to illuminate terrain and launchpad
• Spotlights on vessels for docking in darkness and landing on polar regions.
• Added landing site "bases" for the Moon real landing sites, slightly offset from the real locations.

For general operation, see the 2010 version documentation.

Required add-ons:
Multistage2015


Know issues:

• LaunchMFD can't handle launching the Altair from the Moon surface.
• Slight mesh mismatch between the Altair landing and ascent modules after separation while landed.
• Multistage2015 autopilot spends more fuel to get into orbit than Velcro. So use the scenarios provided to get to the Moon.
• The Malapert landing site was moved to a realistic location. PursuitMFD will land you there.

Please test this version and report any major problems.
Any help with better scenarios, trajectories, etc, is welcome.

Very nice! Going to test this later tonight!

Great! It should work, but I have so many stuff on my install that It's really hard not to forget all meshes, configs, etc

Seem to work. On the Moon Landing the LER was stuck in the ground til acted upon.

I updated the test version on the first post.


Give it a try before general release on OH :thumbup:
