So an issue. The OMS texture

Code:

// --------------------------------------------------------------
// Initialise the thrusters for the orbital maneuvering system
// --------------------------------------------------------------
void Atlantis::CreateOMS()
{
	th_oms[0] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSL, THRUSTDIR_OMSL, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	th_oms[1] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSR, THRUSTDIR_OMSR, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	// we don't yet define a thruster group for the OMS engines
	// They will be assigned to the MAIN group as soon as the ET is jettisoned
	for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
		AddExhaust (th_oms[i], 4.0, 0.5);

	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC OMSex = {
		0, .5, 1000, 5.0, 06, 0.1, 1.5, 0, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::EMISSIVE,
		PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::LVL_LIN, 1, 1, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATM_FLAT, 6e7, 12e7
	};

	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[0], _V(-1, 0, -15), &OMSex);
	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[1], _V(1, 0, -15), &OMSex);








}

In regular graphics similar but the particles disappear faster.

asbjos · Feb 28, 2020

Probably due to your very high particle creation rate of 1000 Hz. With a lifetime of 0.1 seconds and emission speed of 5.0 m/s, you will have 100 particles (each with its own texture) within a distance 0.5 meters. That is way too many.

Depending on what effect you want, I would recommend you to reduce the frequency with a factor of 10. So something like 100 Hz.

gattispilot · Feb 28, 2020

Thats so I redid it.
But It it like a missing texture so just white boxes?

Code:

void Atlantis::CreateOMS()
{
	th_oms[0] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSL, THRUSTDIR_OMSL, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	th_oms[1] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSR, THRUSTDIR_OMSR, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	// we don't yet define a thruster group for the OMS engines
	// They will be assigned to the MAIN group as soon as the ET is jettisoned
	for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
		AddExhaust (th_oms[i], 4.0, 0.5);

	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC OMSex = {
		0, .5, 100, 5.0, 06, 0.1, 1.5, 0, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::EMISSIVE,
		PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::LVL_LIN, 1, 1, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATM_FLAT, 6e7, 12e7
	};

	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[0], _V(-1, 0, -15), &OMSex);
	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[1], _V(1, 0, -15), &OMSex);

So in 2010 sf oms burn. No exhaust just particles

but the Atlantis just exhaust:

gattispilot · Mar 1, 2020

So the ASE and IUS? Having issues with them.

here you see the pivot is offset of center

So here you see it layout:

It looks as if the IUS is a bit short. it is to be 5.2 Meters and the mesh is 4.8.
I would be nice to have more dimension.

But it looks like the band on the IUS goes in the ASE?

It looks like the MAgellan dish is too large. It cuts into the cargo bay. It is 12 ft but the mesh is 15.7

Good image of IUS placement. Looks like that band is front of the ASE

Donamy · Mar 1, 2020

Best to size the payload and not the payload bay. IMHO

gattispilot · Mar 1, 2020

So this is what someone is using:

Code:

My spacecraft3 files for STS missions have: 

[TEXTURE_LIST]
TEX_1=Exhaust_atrcs
 
[PARTICLESTREAM_1]
NAME=OMSex
SRCSIZE=0.5
SRCRATE=1000
V0=5.0
SRCSPREAD=0.6
LIFETIME=0.10
GROWTHRATE=1.5
ATMSLOWDOWN=0
LTYPE=EMISSIVE
LEVELMAP=LVL_LIN
;LMIN=0
;LMAX=2
ATMSMAP=ATM_FLAT
AMIN=1
;AMAX=1

And somewhere further down (but these are texture definitions):

[EX_MAIN_0]
OFF=(-2.7,3.50,-13.5)
DIR=(-0.03, 0.25885, -0.96545)
LENGTH=2.5
WIDTH=0.6

[EX_MAIN_1]
OFF=(2.7,3.50,-13.5)
DIR=(0.03, 0.25885, -0.96545)
LENGTH=2.5
WIDTH=0.6

and this is what I have:

Code:

void Atlantis::CreateOMS()
{
	th_oms[0] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSL, THRUSTDIR_OMSL, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	th_oms[1] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSR, THRUSTDIR_OMSR, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	// we don't yet define a thruster group for the OMS engines
	// They will be assigned to the MAIN group as soon as the ET is jettisoned
	for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
		AddExhaust (th_oms[i], 4.0, 0.5);

	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC OMSex = {
		0, .5, 100, 5.0, 06, 0.1, 1.5, 0, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::EMISSIVE,
		PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::LVL_LIN, 1, 1, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATM_FLAT, 6e7, 12e7
	};

	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[0], _V(-1, 0, -15), &OMSex);
	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[1], _V(1, 0, -15), &OMSex);

}

gattispilot · Mar 3, 2020

So I redid the code.
This is sf in 2016.

But this is what I get. Also the Payload bay is and body is lit

Code:

void Atlantis::CreateOMS()
{
	th_oms[0] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSL, THRUSTDIR_OMSL, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	th_oms[1] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSR, THRUSTDIR_OMSR, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	// we don't yet define a thruster group for the OMS engines
	// They will be assigned to the MAIN group as soon as the ET is jettisoned
	//for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
	//	AddExhaust (th_oms[i], 4.0, 0.5);

	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC OMSex = {0, .5, 1000, 5.0, .6, 0.1, 1.5, 0, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::EMISSIVE,	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::LVL_LIN, 1, 1, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATM_FLAT, 6e7, 12e7};

	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[0], _V(-2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);
	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[1], _V(2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);

}

edit the code adding exhaust.

better but no particles and still glows the ship.

Code:

void Atlantis::CreateOMS()
{
	th_oms[0] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSL, THRUSTDIR_OMSL, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	th_oms[1] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSR, THRUSTDIR_OMSR, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	// we don't yet define a thruster group for the OMS engines
	// They will be assigned to the MAIN group as soon as the ET is jettisoned
	for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
		AddExhaust (th_oms[i], 2.5, 0.6);

	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC OMSex = {0, .5, 100, 5.0, .6, 0.1, 1.5, 0, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::EMISSIVE,	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::LVL_LIN,  PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATM_FLAT, 1};

	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[0], _V(-2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);
	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[1], _V(2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);

}

Code:

typedef struct {
DWORD flags;
double srcsize;
double srcrate;
double v0;
double srcspread;
double lifetime;

The other scn that I haven't got to work as yet is sts125. Thanks to Donamy we have a mesh. But not sure the Hubble will not auto connect. Using the same code for sts 109,... and it works. Really the only difference is the ring is at a different start position. So at the start the attachment would be 180 degrees out?

gattispilot · Mar 4, 2020

So another issue. in D3D9 here I have set and saved the material setting for the reflectors.

in the GC folder there is a file named Shuttle2016B

Code:

but when I reload the scn the setting are not loaded?

Still nothing on the Pstream. Not sure if a texture is needed?

Code:

void Atlantis::CreateOMS()
{
	th_oms[0] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSL, THRUSTDIR_OMSL, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	th_oms[1] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSR, THRUSTDIR_OMSR, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	// we don't yet define a thruster group for the OMS engines
	// They will be assigned to the MAIN group as soon as the ET is jettisoned
	for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
		AddExhaust (th_oms[i], 2.5, 0.6);

	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC OMSex = {0, .5, 100, 5.0, .6, 0.1, 1.5, 0, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::EMISSIVE,	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::LVL_LIN,  PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATM_FLAT, 1};

	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[0], _V(-2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);
	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[1], _V(2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);

}

Hmm as long as the file has the extension ".cfg" and the vessel class is still named "Shuttle2016B", it should just work.
As long as you haven't changed the parameter "ConfigDir" in "Orbiter_NG.cfg" that is.

gattispilot · Mar 4, 2020

So in the scn:

Code:

BEGIN_SHIPS
STS-125:Shuttle2016B

and yes the file extension is shuttle2016B.cfg in the GC folder. and this is my Orbiter_NG.cfg

Code:

Looks fine!
:shrug:
I'll see if I can dig a little deeper on the weekend.

gattispilot · Mar 5, 2020

So not sure how to add a texture to the OMS effect?
Looked at the DG and got this:

Code:

void Atlantis::CreateOMS()

{

	contrail_tex = oapiRegisterParticleTexture("Contrail1a");
	th_oms[0] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSL, THRUSTDIR_OMSL, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	th_oms[1] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSR, THRUSTDIR_OMSR, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	// we don't yet define a thruster group for the OMS engines
	// They will be assigned to the MAIN group as soon as the ET is jettisoned
	for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
		AddExhaust (th_oms[i], 2.5, 0.6);

	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC OMSex = { 0, .5, 100, 5.0, .6, 0.1, 1.5, 0, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::EMISSIVE, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::LVL_LIN, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATM_FLAT,  1,contrail_tex};

	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[0], _V(-2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);
	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[1], _V(2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);


	



}

h:

Code:

SURFHANDLE contrail_tex;    // contrail particle texture

But got an error:
Error 24 error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'SURFHANDLE' to 'PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATMSMAP' C:\Orbiter2016\Orbitersdk\samples\SPACESHUTTLE2016E4evaearlyvccammove\Atlantis.cpp 796 1 SPACESHUTTLE2016D

kuddel · Mar 5, 2020

@gattispilot:
I've stepped through the parsing of your GC config and did not find anything too wrong...

Only "odd" thing was the double backslash in the last mesh name, but I have no idea whether this would make any difference:

Code:

; =============================================
MESH [COLOR="Blue"]2016SPACESHUTTLE\Atlantis[/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]\\[/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"]Atlantis2016H1[/COLOR]

Maybe you could try "fixing" that. Maybe this changes something.

gattispilot · Mar 6, 2020

Thanks. Thanks worked. Now to figure the P stream issue

---------- Post added 03-06-20 at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was 03-05-20 at 04:07 PM ----------

Now the panels reflect

So still other issues. In SF they have animation save code for the Port ET Door and Starboard ET Door. Do we need that as there is one key that opens/close them?

Donamy · Mar 6, 2020

Don't know what you mean by "save code".

gattispilot · Mar 6, 2020

Like this in the scn
where the animation saved state is saved.

PETD 0 0.0000
SETD 0 0.0000

Do we need 2 animation state or just go with one

Donamy · Mar 7, 2020

They need to open separately.

gattispilot · Mar 7, 2020

So in the scn You can set one open and one closed. But CTRL=J closes or opens both.

Donamy · Mar 7, 2020

I really don't see a need, to have one open and one closed in a scenario.

gattispilot · Mar 8, 2020

Not sure either. But some scn did have it like this:

Code:

  PETD 0 0.0000
  SETD 1 1.0000

So on the OMS no idea. I followed the DG and nothing. When I fire thm it shuttle bay lights up from the exhaust.

Code:

void Atlantis::CreateOMS()

{

	contrail_tex = oapiRegisterParticleTexture("Exhaust_atrcs");
	th_oms[0] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSL, THRUSTDIR_OMSL, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	th_oms[1] = CreateThruster (THRUSTREF_OMSR, THRUSTDIR_OMSR, ORBITER_OMS_THRUST, ph_oms, ORBITER_OMS_ISP0, ORBITER_OMS_ISP1);
	// we don't yet define a thruster group for the OMS engines
	// They will be assigned to the MAIN group as soon as the ET is jettisoned
	//for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
	//	AddExhaust(th_oms[i], 1, 0.1); //2.5, 0.6

	PARTICLESTREAMSPEC OMSex = { 
		0, 2.0, 13, 150, 0.1, 0.2, 16, 1.0, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::EMISSIVE,
		PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::LVL_SQRT, 0, 1,
		PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATM_PLOG, 1e-5, 0.1
	};

	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[0], _V(-2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);
	AddExhaustStream(th_oms[1], _V(2.7, 3.50, -13.5), &OMSex);

}

So maybe just a pstream. But not sure why it isn't working.

An odd thing was in STS 61C when the sat is released the OMS fire?
If I delete this then no issue:

Code:

SATCOM-KU2:STS_PAYLOADS\SATCOM

---------- Post added 03-08-20 at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was 03-07-20 at 03:35 PM ----------

So I tried sts61C using SF and it spun and launched and did not fire the OMS. So it seems to be in my code. I wonder if there is a way to protect my code from being influenced by other vessels?

Orbiter 2024 has been released!
