Trying to place a MFD with button where the 2 CCTV screens are. Placing the screen there is not an issue. But getting the buttons to work is. All the other mfd/s work but this one. I think it may be that the screen is at 45 degree angle. The mfd I think is for MFD that are on the x axis/ The CCTV are along the x/z axis

The MFD on the side aft flight isn't in the XZ plane.

You are right it is along the z axis.


So I got it show the cursor point. 0 z value. But the x and Y value make no sense.



But I can't the button to work.

So the payload camera view can now be seen in the CCTV. RMS can't be though

Sweet !!! but why not the RMS camera ? Is it because it is separate vessel?

Because the CAM are set in the mfd and scn. So because the rms moves around the view can't follow it. Ideally the CCTV needs to be coded to allow the view to follow the rms and payload. Way above by pay scale:)

Have you looked at the Canadarm2 code ? It has to remote cameras.

We don't have that code. I have run into a weird issue with the camera MFD. When I press CAM on any MFD it adds a camera

So got the CCTVs to be MFD so you can use CAMERA MFD. Not sure about getting the camera and rms hard coded into the mfd screen. So as the payload cameras move so does the view.
But I will add the animate the camera code back in.

So got the payload camera to tilt/rotate.
Saw this issue.
It was part of the old KU band. In the mesh it is id as a startracker?

Not sure what it should look like?

In the SSu it looks like nothing is there?

Looks like part of the old KU base. I'd delete it.

So since I need to edit the payload bay. I was looking at SSU. So it looks like the SSU payload bay has actual structures and sf used a texture.

I think these are the same thing?

One thing ZI noticed the distance of the top is the same as structure while SSu top rail seem lower?

For now I may just keep the payload as is minus that KU base

This is why using multiple meshes for different parts can be useful. Less things to change ;)

Yes. But then you have to keep track of the index:)

For now I may just keep it as is. Minus that part.

I thought about about the textures where the bars are to remove them as they are structures.

Maybe on the next version?

So now I get this:

This is sts 107. May need to redo the the SpaceLabmesh.

So how would the astronaunts get outside into space with the spacelab over the airlock?

this image shows more of an airlock there?

The SSU has the tunnel adapter.

Thanks. I am getting educated. There was space Hab and space lab. But for now I need to get the base shuttle to work.

So have updated the mesh of the 3 Columbia. But have run into 2 issues. On load when the cargobay doors are open the right side is closed. I press K and it goes to the open position and starts to close. So something is now right with the load code?

2nd is sometimes I get a CTD in d3D9 noting tin the log

So getting closer. But noticed something. I now the external airlock and ODs bridge rails are a bit high. But it looks like the rms support might be hitting the bridges?

So on the rms. The bridge rail of the External airlock is hitting the mpm structure.

So not sure if the MPm structure needs to move or the what?

I think my bridge fitting may be too wide?

I think I can do this. The red and blue part would rotate as the doors open. The green rod would translate up/down as the red/blue part move.
The yellow is the outline of the shuttle wall and sill.

And only 6 of these per side

So I can get this:

redo radiators so bottom is at red line.
like this?

So the rms is in the wrong location. I will just move the mesh in code then the animation will be good. It needs to be closer to the outside wall
the green one is where it is now:

I also removed the KU band Antenna. I will make it default to be seen. But if a mission didn't have it then add KU to the scn and it will not be seen

I just want to thank you so much for tackling this whole project. The Space Shuttle is my all-time favorite spaceship, and this representation is looking great.
