Skylab 1973 rebuild

We have this right now. The airlock is highly detailed.

As I understand the VC camera points would be in the mda area and OWS. BUT not every switch,.....

Then the Control display which has alots of switches,.... make this just a texture?


If I were going to add clickable switches, to a bunch of panels like that, I would probably load switch meshes with the vessel code, rather than making the mesh contain a huge amount of identical meshgroups. I think you're fine with the texture.
 
I made the CD console a texture. This is what I get for frame rate.
This is using a hi def OWS and airlock.
Now the OWS is

How? Not sure if this is needed?
 
This is the bike.

any frame rate issues? I think on the OWS i can combine meshes and retexture. Like the lights.

Thanks. Frame rate issue?

In the VC use w/s forward/back and aim with the mouse.

I will need to update the code.

Also can you post the scn so I can check

Frame rate 252. Added the Condensate module.

Still got to add thing to the 2nd floor.

I am not sure to just just VC locations or use the w/s move around.

I redid the Mass body measurement device. Added boxes. I thing all that is left on the 2nd floor is the AMSU trainer and the foot restraint trainer.

Really it is a mixture of launch state and in orbit.

On the AMSU on launch it looks like the arms are facing the outer wall and upside down. I can make the launch state and then and in orbit where it is flipped. Any thoughts?

I need to add the battery, on the bottom. The bottom area needs reworked.,.....

Where we are at and where to go?
functional external mesh/vessel. Animation of ATM, EVA Airlock, 2 solar panels.
Anything else?

On the VC/Interior. I have the the Airlock, Most of the OWS. I am thinking of having a launch mesh and orbit mesh.
In the orbit launch have a food tray around the table. AMSU set up,......

Still need to look at STL and MDA.

Any thoughts?
 
Ok. now we have the skylab at launch. It had 5 food storage units and the AMSU stored

in orbit the AMSU is ready for testing. A suit is there and a food tray
