Problem Slat's EAFB

[spartanhoplite15]

So I have experiencing this problem lately.

I have installed Slat's EAFB 2006.3 Hi-Res addon. I have run it by the scenarios it already comes with and it is really good. But there is one problem. In any scenario, EAFB and the LC39 provided with the package don't appear at all.
To be specific, EAFB just has the runway that comes with the Shuttle Fleet package and LC39 just doesn't appear with any of the launch scenarios that come with the Shuttle Fleet.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.
:thumbup:

dbl check the system that it uses. I don't remember if it was slats or if it is ISS 3.2 that uses a unique Sol system for the bases. Those two add-ons go so hand in hand that I often forget where one ends and the other begins.

I guess that you are running a regular scenario, such as with a DeltaGlider or from the Shuttle Fleet?
This add-on comes with its own solar system, "Sol-STS.cfg", instead of the regular "Sol.cfg". Therefore, Orbiter looks for bases in the "\Config\Earth\STS\" folder instead for the "\Config\Earth\Bases\" folder.

So when you run a regular scenario you use the default Solar System without Slat's Edwards base or the Cape Canaveral with the special launchpad.

To have his bases at all times in all scenarios (with the exception of the ones which again uses their own Solar Systems and bases), simply copy the Edwards base from "\Config\Earth\STS\" and paste it in the "\Config\Earth\Bases\" folder. Remember to overwrite the old Edwards base from the Shuttle Fleet.

For the LC-39, the best would be to copy the whole section in Slat's Cape Canaveral base which has to do with the launch pads starting at line 482 in the "\Config\Earth\STS\Canaveral.cfg" file: ...

LPAD2A	; n.1
	POS -7990 -5 -760
	ROT 30
	NAV 128.10
	SCALE 0.0001
END

; --- Pad 39A --- 
MESH	
	FILE STSmlp
	OWNMATERIAL
	POS -8943.8 30 6634.3
	ROT 90
	SHADOW
	PRELOAD
END
MESH		
	FILE STSpad39B
	OWNMATERIAL 
	POS -8877 46.5 6622
	ROT 180
	SHADOW
	PRELOAD
END
LPAD2A	; n.2
	POS -8936.2 0 6639.1
	ROT 90
	SCALE 0.0001
END

; --- Pad 39B --- 
MESH	
	FILE STSmlp
	OWNMATERIAL
	POS -11036.8 30 4999.3
	ROT 90
	SHADOW
	PRELOAD
END
MESH		
	FILE STSpad39B
	OWNMATERIAL 
	POS -10970 46.5 4987
	ROT 180
	SHADOW
	PRELOAD
END
LPAD2	; n.3
	POS -11029 0 5003.8
	ROT 180
	SCALE 0.001
	TEX Lpad02
END
; --- Press site --- 
MESH	
	FILE STSclock
	OWNMATERIAL
	POS -6065 7.5 2631
	ROT 40
	SHADOW
	PRELOAD
END

... and pasting it into the "\Config\Earth\Base\Canaveral.cfg" file at the appropriate place. Remember to remove the old launch pad in the same configuration file.

Hey Cras,
I don't think the ISS has to do anything to do with it. The ISS 3.2 uses its own solar system, AFAIK.

Thank you guys for your effort. I have found a solution. It seems that the scenario scans the Sol.cfg file. This is default solar system. But for Slat's addon, it uses SolSTS.cfg. So, I have moved Sol.cfg to Desktop and renamed SolSTS.cfg to Sol.cfg so everytime, the game reads the Sol.cfg with EAFB and LC39.

 

[Cras]

Yeah that is it. SolSTS. I just couldnt remember which add on causes it to be used.
