OHM HTV-X 1.2

[diogom]

Hi,
Some closer inspection and differences between docked and attached to Donamy & Thorton's ISS:

Docked:

Offset to Harmony is good for the main body parts, but around the dock you see interference:

Maybe from slightly different Harmony modules...?

Attached:

It attaches perpendicular to the station and massive interference of the bodies. I would just like to learn how to possibly correct it so I can dock an SSV to the IDA-2 in front of it without any interferences (Take the old bird to the old nest).

Regards
Starbuck

The attachment point on that side was meant for the upper stage of an eventual rocket [if someone wants to pick up H3 that would be fun, I don't plan to], so it's expected that it doesn't really fit or align. I'll look into the configurable docking port rotation, or a second attachment point in the same location as the docking port.

I'm not sure there will be much space for any activity in the PLB... maybe just take a SpaceHab with supplies?
Anyway, take the IDA out and expose the PMA-2, which is what the shuttle expects.

diogom updated HTV-X with a new update entry:

1.2

- Added configurable docking port orientation (README) and one attachment point for the PCBM

Read the rest of this update entry...

Hi Diogom,

An absolutely massive thank you! for giving this your attention and work. A know you built it for a different model and such but...

Now it's sitting good. I do appreciate all the hard work that's gone into these models, as it will keep her flying of a fashion long after she's brought back down.

Cheers
Starbuck

Thanks for the reminder! As you will see from the image I just posted...I've undated accordingly.

Oh, I also took the time to get the latest version of the SSV for 2016, through your link... Cheers.

Just a question when I load this into 2016 and call it up it comes up . but every time I have to call it up again I seem to need to reload the 2016 module every time to make it work

Hm what do you mean by "call it up" and "make it work" more precisely? Is the sim crashing?

 

[barrygolden]

Yes when I use the launch pad it will load up but if I close it out it will crash the next time
well it just worked as it should is any one working on the rocket for this

Interesting, so launch scenario, Ctrl+Q, start another scenario without closing the launchpad and it crashes then? Could you post the orbiter log from when it crashes?
