What's the superlative of beautiful again? Most beautiful. That's what it is!
Thanks!

This is awesome but I have noticed an issue: When I deploy the solar arrays there seem to be two sets? One set appears instantly, and then the other set is animated - the booms fold out and then the panels roll out. The two sets of solar panels look different and overlap. And when I set the panels to track the sun, the second set rotates, but the first set stays where it is.

LATER: I went back into the scenario I had saved after panel deployment to get a screenshot and the first set of solar panels is now gone. Very strange.

Anyway, thank you so much for this fantastic addon!

Yep, Felix24 really made HST sparkle

Hi, I couldn't replicate this problem. If it happens again, perhaps you could post the scenario you were using and your orbiter.log. Thanks.


Cheers,
