Discussion Space: 1999 updates ?

ok. I think the cockpit is the pod area. There is no cockpit for the main vessel. That is why I struggled with this vessel.

Yes. My VC is for the main vessel. Its a control room.

ok. In the real show That control room was in the pod area. It doesn't make sense i know.

It is confusing.
But the only way to match the model it for the pilot section seen in the show to be in the main vessel.
So we can assume that the detachable forward pod is never seen on the show!

I also have a schematic that shows this configuration. See it here:

your right. I think somewhere in another forum they guess that the crew climbed thru the consule to the front pod. The way you have it will you be able to see past the front

Here's the general layout of what I have. As you can see, it deviates a little from what was shown on the series. For example, the back room was longer on the episode. Also, the computer panels don't have the exact same arrangement. Nevertheless I think it looks great

As it is obvious, the computer panels are by Roberto Baldassari (give credit where due )
The final image shows the intended VC default position. It will be different to fly a spacecraft from there!

 

[gattispilot]

Looks great

 

[4throck]

Done
Now it's only a matter of exporting and converting to Orbiter mesh. It is diferent from the series, notably the seat arrangement. But the view angle is better like this.

Here's the result in Orbiter:

Not that beatifull but faithfull to the series look and feel.
Will be better once I tweak the CRTs colors to blue instead of orange :thumbup:

And here is the pod VC.... Ok, it's the Eagle VC with MFDs and a different window layout. As you can see, it's possible to look down... This doesn't match the Swift (2 windows on cockpit) but it does match the Eagle (4 windows)....

Do you have a site somewhere where all the currently completed S1999 stuff is listed? I liked playing with the standalone buildings and would like to find them again.

 

[4throck]

Do you want a list of vessels, planets and stations seen on the series?
I made a small one at Orbiter Wiki http://www.orbiterwiki.org/wiki/Space:_1999 . It's only a matter of adding the addon names to those that we have working on Orbiter.:thumbup:

Now, the docs for Moonbase Alpha have a list of included spacecraft and locations...

I mean the actual downloads, are they all compiled somewhere or still strung throughout the thread?

 

[4throck]

They are on OH. Look here:

I have a separate install just for the Space: 1999 stuff. It's becoming very immersive, and will be great in the future with some better scenarios and perhaps some custom planets. There are two systems on OH that you can use...

 

[Ark]

Okay, I see what I did, I was searching by gat's addons, not bringing up the main S1999 section.

 

[4throck]

Lot's of stuff there. Gattis/bensisko add-ons are close to a compilation but there is other stuff. For example, Eagle derivatives.
