I was expecting an almost fully digital interface, but it seems pretty classical, with rows of switches and dials. Nice. I guess there are nice MFDs on the central panel. I also can see the big red abort handle. 
Of, course, with a crew of 7, things will still get a little cramped. And there is no BO like in the Soyuz there. I've read that the spacecraft has a very limited autonomy, like 72 hours on reserve batteries. No fuel cells nor solar panels, it is supposed to dock the ISS in 8 hours, and deorbit in even less. The advantage is simplicity and reliability, but I really hope that Boeing will NOT put 787s batteries :lol:

New Release (alpha v0.44)
OK, here is an update focused on the CST-100. The vehicle is functionnal, you should be able to dock the ISS, deorbit and land somewhere in North America. Good luck and please report any bugs you find.
Don't forget that the capsule is a lifting body, and you should be able to keep the Gs around +3.
Hotkeys are in the Readme.txt (Doc folder)
LINK DELETED
Still to be done (and that's for the capsule alone) :

Got this when running the "CST100 - SaveChk 06 - 20km.scn, does anyone else get this?
Also, in the launch scenario, the capsule is not visible.

I forgot to include this texture file, put it in the "Textures" Orbiter directory. It's the texture for the Centaur stage engines nozzles.

About the invisible capsule on the pad :
- Are you using an old scenario from a previous release ? The class of the capsule has been changed, so they are incompatible. But it should cause a CTD.
- Can you post the log ?
- Weird it doesn't happens in other scenarios
Edit : confirmed on a fresh install. The capsule is there, but buried under the launchpad. The adapter is also missing.
OK, seems I managed to fix it

For some reason, none of the reentry scenarios are working. It might have to do with a dll since it stops loading there.

Right, this time it should give better results. I updated most of the .dll's, some were a bit "old" and required a good cleaning.
Note that the scenario #1 (not #0) doesn't work right now, it's a "known bug".
Atlas V EELV - CST-100 alpha v0.45
I hope everything will go well this time. Tell me if it isn't the case.
Tested on a fresh install with D3D9 Client R12, works as it should. I have serious problems with the D3D7 inline client when not running in debugging mode, but that's not related to the addon.

I also might be able to rebuild the CST if Capt_Hensley doesn't have time to do it, but I would build it around the pressure hull that I already have for the VC. I used the last mesh that he sent to build it. When I get home I'll post pics.
---------- Post added 07-25-13 at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was 07-24-13 at 06:41 PM ----------
Alright, to make the pressure hull, I took a side view photo of a cutaway of the CST from a pdf, then imported it into sketchup. I then used the diameter of 179.5 inches from the same pdf and scaled the image accordingly. I then used the photo to make further measurements of the pressure hull and capsule, which helped to determine the dimensions. So the capsule and pressure hull should be pretty accurate.
Picture and dimensions used:

Seems a good way to do it, using a reference image is also what I do to get the right proportions. Remember that Orbiter works in meter though, so it might be worthy to make the conversions and set Sketchup to use meters. That way, you'll be sure to have exact values and avoid small "gaps" or clipping that, even when millimetric, are quite noticeable.
My other advice : make sure that the faces match between your different solids. It really worths the effort. Like a cone with 24 faces should be put over a cylinder with 24 faces too, so the junction will be seamless if exact position values are used.
Another tip : don't be too shy on the number of faces for cylinders or cones. For the Atlas and the Centaur I used 60 faces. With a texture over it, it looks almost perfectly cylindrical. Remember that divisions multiply the number of polys. Like, on the rocket body, it was useless to add divisions, because the diameter stays the same. With 60 faces, if you add 1 division, you have 120 faces, 2 you have 180 etc... , it grows quickly.
Nice work
Edit : since we speak of that, it might be cool to make a "simplified" mesh of the interior, so that it will be possible to look inside the capsule from the outside by the windows or the open hatch. Only the general layout, because seats, cargo and astronauts are things that we should manage dynamically : for example, we could set up a "no seats, full cargo / tanker" version, "3 seats, lot of cargo" version, "5 seats, some cargo" version, and "7 seats, mostly astronauts luggages" version, to reflect the polyvalence of the concept. Just an idea, of course this is not a priority :idea:

Nice work
Edit : since we speak of that, it might be cool to make a "simplified" mesh of the interior, so that it will be possible to look inside the capsule from the outside by the windows or the open hatch. Only the general layout, because seats, cargo and astronauts are things that we should manage dynamically : for example, we could set up a "no seats, full cargo / tanker" version, "3 seats, lot of cargo" version, "5 seats, some cargo" version, and "7 seats, mostly astronauts luggages" version, to reflect the polyvalence of the concept. Just an idea, of course this is not a priority :idea:

Thanks, since starting work on the project I've progressed a lot in modeling. Comparing the CST mesh then to now its amazing how much its changed. As for the idea that you had, I was planning to do that after I had the exterior shell of the capsule completed. I saved a backup version to plan out the various combinations of crew and cargo, so it'll be easy to incorporate.My other advice : make sure that the faces match between your different solids. It really worths the effort. Like a cone with 24 faces should be put over a cylinder with 24 faces too, so the junction will be seamless if exact position values are used.
Nice work

Here again, don't be afraid to make a "cut" a complex object with several meshes, it can save you time and means a smaller addon disk size. Like you can make the capsule interior "full empty", really only the pressure shell, then you can add seats and save one as a separate mesh. Same for cargo racks. Then, with the code, I can rotate and translate the meshes as I want. And it is less "laggy" in Orbiter to load a seat mesh than to reload a complete capsule interior mesh with textures etc... Its a matter of memory space it takes.
Still, you can make a single "full" mesh, it will be useful to have a global sight and get the (x,y,z) reference points (in meters) for each objects. If you can tell me "set three seats at (x1,y1,z1), x2,y2,z2), (z3,y3,z3), it really saves me a loooot of time, because the other way to do it is 3D trial-and-error.
So, basically, the idea is to avoid reloading the complex meshes as much as possible, and having much more freedom with smaller elements (seats, astronauts, cargo racks, cargo...)

You could always use simplified meshes for the external views... can mean you need to do some animations twice (for example seats or hatches), but still works with minimal infrastructure.
