General Question NASSAP 8

[Whitey]

Hi guys, i had to delete my old Orbiter files and start again, so I download the 2016 Orbiter. Apollo are my fav flights but on NASSAP 7 there is only Apollo 7 & 8 apart from the broken missions which dont work for me. Question is can i load the Beta NASSAP 8 on 2016 Orbiter or does it have to be a Beta version of Orbiter. My Orbiter is 2016 and V 160828

Cheers

Thanks for that, now just to find the Beta version.

I don't use NASSP because its development is very slow with no 2016 compatibility. I prefer AMSO instead, which is well-compatible with 2016.

The need to use the beta version of Orbiter is somewhat of a downside as it definitely increases the complexity of the installation.

I'd hardly call our development slow: https://github.com/orbiternassp/NASSP/commits/Orbiter2016

True, 8.0 may not be done yet, but most days there's at least a few commits, and remember we do this in our spare time.

Well i appreciate all the hard work you developers do, I just want to fly Apollo 11 to the moon. Maybe ill just try the ASMO as firstly i cant find the beta of orbiter 2016, and ill probably stuff up the install addons.

AMSO is a wonderful addon, and if you go back far enough AMSO and NASSP share common roots.

Here's how to install the beta version if you're ever interested: http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/betainstall.html

Happy Orbiting.

As said above, please follow the link https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/nassp-8-installation-guide.36801/ and it will outline in that thread where to download the Beta version of Orbiter.
