Project Newly developed JD rocket

You put same mesh for stage one and stage two...you need to each stage in this case half rocket,upper for stage two and bottom for stage one.
Russian Doll use spacecraft,no multistage...you need to configure in stage one ini file a stage two as payload.

Something like this:

This is getting annoying now. I did all of that and still get an error message.

You probably did not make all right. Recheck names,path,config,scenario...or just quit...

Could you please look at the files and tell me what is wrong and how to fix it.

You could rotate tham with Shipedit locate at
Orbiter\Orbitersdk\utils

Rotate X for 90° each mesh and save.

It looks like you have a malformed scenario file, like a section has not been closed off properly or something. Try removing the ExtMFD section from the scenario file.

You are missing the "END_SHIPS" that closes out the "BEGIN_SHIPS" section. Put "END_SHIPS" immediately after the "END" that closes out the "JD_2:..." section.
 
What do I edit if I want to move the stages down because there are gaps? Since this is a multistage I do not know.

Oh yeah. Thanks. I will be configuring the x axix right? Translating it down? Thank you for everybodys help especially ar81, leber, and tbaxland.

No. You will notice that the z-axis values are already positive and the others are zero. Adjust the z values. The conventions of the Orbiter vessel coordinate system:

1. The z-axis is aligned with the nominal longitudinal axis of the vessel. So for something like the DG, the z-axis goes from tail to nose with the nose being in the positive direction. The main thrust is also normally along the z-axis.

2. The x-axis is aligned with the wing plane. The starboard wing is in the positive direction. In a symmetrical vehicle like your rocket, take your pick which direction that is.

3. The y-axis is determined by the left-hand rule and so the positive direction is "up" relative to a normal pilot position. Because the system is left-handed, ie, you can use the left-hand rule to determine the orientation of the axes relative to each other. It is like the right-hand rule except with the left hand, so: +x = thumb, +y = index finger, +z = middle finger.

Other than the left-hand coordinate system, these things are conventions only but you are well advised to follow them since it will increase the ability of others addons working with yours (MFDs and the like).
 
Thanks. When I posted it I realized that I meant the Z values. As you know, I have to upgrade the JD rocket. This is my to do list for version 1.0.
V 1.0
  1. Fill in the stages to seem more realistic.
  2. Add the smoke trail for the first stage.
  3. Change the colors of the boosters to a black color.
  4. Change the boosters to a white color.
  5. Add text to the stages indicating that there is a call sign.
  6. Change capsule color to white. Add a jettison tower to the capsule and a window.
That will be version one. My next version will be version 1.5.
  1. Add parachute sequence to the capsule after reentry.
  2. Add solar panels to the capsule.
  3. Add rcs and main thrusters to the capsule.
That is version 2.0. Next version will hopefully be compatible with UMMU. It will have docking ports, larger models of the rocket and much more. There is no definite release date because I do not have a lot of time. Maybe in the earlier months of 2010.
 
Every time I jettison third stage it CTDs. Here is the log file. I have never had this problem until now. MY config file is under the log.

Mesh is missing,check where is mesh locate,check ini file where is directed...
 
Should the capsule be in spacecraft, multistage, or just in the main mesh directory?
 
Should the capsule be in spacecraft, multistage, or just in the main mesh directory?

Put it in main mesh directory...but depend how you set in capsule.ini file...
 
Do you want to see the capsule.ini?
