Hi Everyone
Just wanted to say cool project you have here.. I've been looking for a fun orbiter challenge scenario pack, so I took it upon myself to carve off a new orbiter installation for OFSS and am running through all of the missions in order using only the tools you guys suggest.. hoping to improve my piloting skills
So far have completed mission 1 (easy as pie) and got the XR-2 to hard dock with OFSS Core in mission 2 before I had to call it quits for bed time yesterday.. Mission 2 took me a couple retry's to get the XR5's launch and SCRAM sequence down right but I finally got it..
Anyways I realize you guys are trying to create a 'living breathing forward moving world' with this, but I think it's got a lot of value as a 'challenge pack', in the same way Shuttle Fleet is a bunch of pre-packaged scenario's that can be run in order, for guys like me looking for a more immersive 'campaign' sort of experience..
Anyways, just wanted to let you know I'm around and if there's anything I can do to help I'd love to..
I did notice a couple disconnects in the documentation that took me a while to sort out.. Namely some packages missiong from the requirements in the mission 1-5 doc, such as Mir-2 and it's pre-req's, as well as Space_Tugs4 ...
Also a continuity error in that mission 1 has to place core in a 300x300 orbit, but mission 2 has it start in a 200x200 orbit that needs to be boosted up to 300x300 (how do i change COG on the XR5 anyways? I keep spinning like a top when I try)..
Also there's nothing in mission 1 for an undock and de-orbit of the tug module, but mission 2 starts with it gone..
Anyways, are you guys interested in having these disconnects and doc errors pointed out? I'd be more than willing to go and 'scrub out' inconsitencies and what not in the overall 'campaign' (sorry it's the most applicable word I can think of
..
Heck I'd even be willing to update the documentation accordingly...
Just a suggestion, if that's not the way you guys are going that's cool, either case I'm having a lot of fun with the missions
Cheers!
