Idea Next/Future AMSO ideas

[kino_astroboy]

Hello fellow Orbinauts,

What would you like to see in the next or future versions of AMSO?


Here are a few of my ideas that really should be implemented for the full AMSO experience:

1. Apollo 7 scenario complete with Saturn IB and LC-34

2. EVA audio

3. Staging cameras


Keep up the great work AMSO team! :thumbup:

-Clickable VC
-Animated EVA figures
-Assembly/rollout sequence

-Clickable VC

The AMSO VC should be a bit easier to use than NASSP's.

I could live well without clicking the VC, but having the indicators in the LM working would be neat.

Also, some new failures would be nice, I have already played the old ones and need new.

Urwumpe,

Remind me never to fly with you.

Urwumpe,

Remind me never to fly with you.

Why that? As long as you don't have me landing on a carrier with heavy loads under the wings, all is fine.

It is just disappointing if you have shot down 4 zeros in a mission, shot a few flak cannons to pieces and then die as decoration of the carrier's stern.

If ACSoft can handle it, I would like to see the CM's heat shield glowing and the "burnt" look during reentry.

Hmmmm, how about these ideas.
1) Working hatches and UMMU capability. That way the LEM only activates after the crew is transfered.
2) AMSO vesion of the Apollo Soyuz program with some ficticous missions to soviet stations.
3) More of those outstanding soundpacks......

Skylab has been pretty well covered so far but if ACSoft could work in his outstanding textures into an accurate Skylab interior it would be nice to see those missions in AMSO as well.

Hmmmm, how about these ideas.
2) AMSO vesion of the Apollo Soyuz program with some ficticous missions to soviet stations.

If anyone wishes to pursue this, the linked NASA study will be very useful.

International Rendezvous & Docking Mission (Apollo/Salyut/Soyuz), 1971

2) AMSO vesion of the Apollo Soyuz program with some ficticous missions to soviet stations.

It would be great if Mustard and No Matter could create a special 1975 version of the Soyuz-U and Soyuz 7K-TM for AMSO.

3) More of those outstanding soundpacks......

Especially Apollo 13.

 

[Ark]

I'd like to see a simplistic virtual cockpit, with two MFD screens and switches for module seperation, instrument deployment, EVA, etc.

3. Staging cameras

Staging cams should be set-up like this...

[Urwumpe]

Staging cams should be set-up like this...

Finally a video, which does not attribute it to Apollo 8 or Apollo 11. :rofl:

 

[padrat42]

I would like to see an expanded apollo 18,19,20 landing site. Maybe with their SM simbay payloads for their missions. The landing sites for those mission are generic.

 

[kino_astroboy]

Chute animation would be great during splashdown descent.

 

[kino_astroboy]

The LES textures should be improved, particularly the exhaust and the Q-Ball as described by Apollo 11 here:

http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1823

I have even obtained footage of the Q-Ball retracting at T-8 seconds during Apollo 15's launch.

 

[Apollo 11]

I agree!

 

[kino_astroboy]

Didn't an astronaut in Apollo 9 went out of the LM hatch? I would like to see this implemented in the Apollo 9 scenario with hatch animations.

 

[Puma]

1.Apollo-soyuz mission
2. Slylab mission (1b rocket and launch tower)
3. 2d panel with clickable buttons and working animated clocks or indicators (nassp style)
4. more function to eva like the UMMU first person view
5.multiplayer online function?(allow up to 3 players to perform an apollo mission with your friends, sounds cool!!)
6. the way to earn a patch after you clomplete a mission maybe..etc...

 

[kino_astroboy]

2. Slylab mission (1b rocket and launch tower)

1. AMSO can use usonian's add-on for Skylab.

2. The Skylab launch shall use the Saturn INT-21.

3. There should be a Skylab rescue scenario.
