Space Shuttle Ultra development thread

Ok, I'll leave them open. I'll send a new mesh and upgraded textures soon.

OK. Can you move the talkbacks of the fixed aft panels into a separate (dynamic) texture? If you have some area free in it, the S-Band channel select wheels numbers would also be good to have.

The communication audio panel numbers don't need to be moves there, these would be nicer on another dynamic texture (Like about "audio dynamic")

EDIT: Now that we have almost all fixed panels done... how many talk-backs and lights do we have in total on them, which would need to be written on a dynamic texture? maybe we can reduce the fixed VC into using a single dynamic texture.
 
Which panel are the S-band channel ?

A1L. It is the block with 2 x 3 thumb wheels, which set the channels for the two S-band payload interrogators.
 
Urwumpe: if you're dabbing with the A1 panels how about getting the MAN SLEW mode of the KU working along with the MAN SLEW control switches? All on A1U.

A1U and A2, but I also look how we can reduce the number of dynamic textures, so we get good fps.
 
I've updated the attitude control autopilot to allow it to rotate around the pitch, yaw and roll axes simultaneously.
 
Any idea for when a public release might happen?

Something is very very wrong with SSU now. As soon as I fire any RCS thrusters Orbiter CTDs.

I can't confirm this. I just did a rebuild and tested the RCS completely. all thrusters worked properly.
 
no problems here...

Can someone help me with the noname addon? I put it in the plane texture folders, but still got atlantis. I then had the idea to put it in the Atlantis texture folders, and that worked, except that when I put in the WING_NAME parameter, the wing was still blank.

The WING_NAME parameter is not used in the version of SSU on Orbithangar. The WING_NAME code was in the original Space Shuttle Deluxe, but somehow got removed from early versions of SSU. It will be available in the next release.
 
Which problems with the ascent AP do we have currently? Except the aggressive TVC, I feel like we are on a good track.
Since you asked for it, here's issues I have noted:

1: AP can't handle due east launches. It makes the AP just keep searching for the accurate heading and only settling down some 1 min, 20 seconds into the ascent. With other words: lots of wasted performance

2: When it's supposed to start the RTHU, it tumbles violently out of control, making recovery a near impossible task, forcing a TAL.

I wasn't aware of either of these problems. I'll take a look at them.

EDIT: RTHU bug confirmed.
EDIT2: Heading bug confirmed.
