Launch Complex 39, Fully built out
Chris Jeppesen
5 Jul 2010

-- Installation --
WARNING - This will overwrite some of the surface tiles for Cape Canaveral. Even
if you change the config file back to its original form, the tiles will still be
changed, and you will have pads C, D and the crawlerway to E in place.

This also overwrites the Canaveral.cfg file. If you had any changes to that
file, you should manually merge your config file and this one.

To install, just unpack the zip with folder names intact, like any other addon.
This config file comes by default using the stock low-detail launch pads that
Orbiter ships with.

-- Better Meshes --
If you want, you can download the detailed pads by Kev33 (Kev Shanow) from Orbit
Hangar. This config file can be easily modified to use his meshes.

First, download the following

http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2590 (Space Shuttle pad and tower)
http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1373 (Apollo 17 pad and launcher)

Next, open up the config file and go to near the bottom. You will see a bunch
of commented-out sections for each pad A-E. Each pad can use the stock objects
(two objects, uncommented originally), the Shuttle pad (one object), or the
Saturn clean pad and launcher (two separate objects).

-- Launching from LC39 --
The included scenario has five copies of the stock Space Shuttle, each in
position on one of the five pads, in order that they flew, so Columbia occupies
pad A, while Endavour stands on pad E. They will all have 'Atlantis' painted
on their wings, though. Use this scenario as a template for placing your rockets
on the pads.

Thank you!

Neat idea, thanks!!!

I wonder if there has ever been any proposals or studies to do something like this?

Check the docs with my addon. Pad 39-E was really planned at one point. It never got that far, but LC-39 was originally planned for 3 pads with an option for 2 more. I have also heard about plans for a Nova rocket complex north of LC-39, with even bigger and more widely spaced pads.

Are you thinking about a version for the Hi-Res KSC?

Are you thinking about a version for the Hi-Res KSC?

This add-on is for Orbiter 2010 and Hi-Res KSC was created for Orbiter 2006, and it hasn't been updated for Orbiter 2010 yet.

I see no reason for making a version of this with inaccurate coordinates that Hi-Res KSC uses, but it's all up to the author of this add-on.

Personally, I'd prefer the Hi-Res KSC was updated instead.

I was wondering if there is a script demo to launch all on pads and get them into orbit as well as rendevouz with ISS and dock?
