OHM Moonbase Alpha 101027

[OrbitHangar]

Author: bensisko

A re-envisioned add-on for Orbiter 2010 that faithfully recreates the world of Space: 1999. Displacement booths, Transporter utility, UCGO, and UMmu allow a new level of immersion. In this iteration, previously static structures are modeled as vessels, allowing the Orbinaut to interact with the environment.

Required Programs
 
Orbiter 2010 P1
Orbiter Sound 3.5
Displacement booths
UCGO 2.0
UMmu 2.0

By Gattispilot & Ben Sisko

Thanks! Is the photo a chipped orbiter tile?

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks.

Yes Ben told me it was a "Shuttle tile fractured on launch found with the OBSS survey". He is going to fix it.

I am going to upgrade the freighter pod and lab pod both to a UCGO vessel.


Also not sure but it should run on 2006. I think the only difference is the Eagle flight and smoke dynamics

In O2006 - what am I doing wrong?

 

[gattispilot]

What vessel are you in? This is the cockpit view right?

 

[dougkeenan]

Correct about cockpit view - just flew a stock DG in to see the new base. Covered in snow. :lol:

Have you added the extra lines from the pdf to base.cfg?I had the same problem until I did it.They are in the instalion paragraph.

 

[dougkeenan]

Who me, RTFM? I didn't add any lines, that may be the problem.

 

[BenSisko]

Don't worry, I was so anxious to test the .zip file that I did the same thing too! It looks like more than just the base.cfg issue because the moonbase wasn't rendered. Did editing the base.cfg do anything beyond giving texture to the crater?

I hadn't tried displacement booths before, and I noticed they were required for this add-on so I thought I'd try them first... Olympus booth always causes a CTD shortly after arrival, upon attempting to move the ummu (and the booth is invisible).

 

[Wishbone]

Olympus booth gets me a CTD even before the arrival...

 

[BenSisko]

Johnny & Wishbone,
There's no Olympus in our Moonbase Alpha installation. The Moonbase Alpha 101027.zip uses the displacement booth technology and overwrites the booth. I would discard the scenarios that come in the displacement .zip and follow the installation instructions. My error, this should have been in the manual.

Odd, it just doesn't like Mars. I positioned it elsewhere to no avail. Removed it from the scenario and they all worked fine. Guess I just won't use it to teleport to Mars, lol.

Aaaaaanyway, on to test out Moonbase Alpha. Thanks for the help.

Im running into the same issue. I flew to the moon and as I approach MBA,, well you can see. No base. Whats up, any ideas? I did edit my Base.cfg like the manuel instructed.

 

[BenSisko]

Are you running Orbiter 2010 P1 or 2006?

 

[gattispilot]

Are you running a scenario that came with the download? The Moonbase Alpha is a vessel not a base. So if you run another scenario you need to add the MoonBAse Alpha as a vessel and put in on pad1

Sorry I should have mentioned. Im running 2010 P1.

Ohhh, thats my problem. I was using a scenario that I had saved where I was in lunar orbit. I will have to look into this more.

Very nice addon

Although technically, shouldn't it now be 101101?

That would be the date code for the build were it built today, yes.

Ah, I always assumed it was just the release date.
