Skylab 1973 rebuild

It probably won't happen any time soon....but we are working a launchable NASSP Skylab. Having an AMSO et al. version would be cool too. :)

Do you already support the CSM for Skylab?
 
So one experiment I need to add is the M512/M479

I have been using this as a reference:

More images. I need to fix a texture or 2.
I wonder on the cd panel about the lighting? I guess the digital readout should be lighter?

Not sure what else to do. I could go crazy with all the details,....

One thing I would have thought I would have seen the guy from the inside of the airlock?

Wow !!! this is just super Its way ready to fly can't wait to see this on a Saturn 5
you might look at the girl that is in the Better ISS and place one guy at the wardroom table, one guy in the big room and one guy in the MDA
I know we talked about a Skylab MMU guy even though not one was there but could be really cool to have that.
the other thing was a white CSM might be a good touch

Added back the 3 crewguys. I need them to move around/float. FYI because the floor is a transparent mesh you may not see the guy below the floor from the top.
Also a setting so you don't see the crew as they would not be in it on launch,.....

I need to make some adjustments to the mesh. I wonder if I should the cut the hatch at the nose and bottom dock? Right now it is solid
Then make the drogues as meshes and show them installed or stowed?

Try this.
Keys might need to be redone for ease
1,2,3 CMG mode
7,8,9 input target for CMG
K solar Array
0 zero parasol
G ATM rotation
5 twin pole sun shade
ALT 1 inner airlock hatches in the Airlock Module to MDA
ALT 2 outer airlock hatch to OWS area
ALT 4 OWS window cover
ALT 5 STL window cover
6 opens OWS hatch
CTRL and space opens diagolue window for eva, ATM,.....
In the VC mode w/s move you the direction of the mouse.

The scenario is just a test in orbit

In the scenario file.
CREWSEEN 1 make this zero to not see the crew
SOLARPANEL1 1
SOLARPANEL2 0 make this 1 and the 2nd full panel appears
SOLARPANEL1A 1 make this 0 and the broke panel goes away

Enjoy!!!

I found an error in the code. But I will need help to place Skylab in the correct orbit. I have her in the current time and not 1973.

I was using an attachment/tether method to move the eva guy. But I think I should use small rcs. Because with an attachment the guy is not visible in the eva area.

Any ideas?

Last year, I've created scenarios of Skylab in the correct orbital position at the time, based on existing archival TLE data. Here's the repost of the ZIP file

Thank I forgot about them. I may but them. Not sure if I can fix this. The eva is docked but I don't see him from the VC view of Skylab?

I have tried making the mesh MESHVIS_EXTPASS and no change

I update the scn for the HD version. I wonder if I should brighten some?
Look at the interior of the AMSO
Now we have different looks interior. Launch, orbit, firepole, crew seen or not. The right after launch the crew would not be seen.

I am not sure if there is a fix to see the eva inside the FAS? I thought it was due to attachments but Docking does the same. So I will go back to the attachment system


Anything else?
