STS60

I think what I should do is put together a zip of the new stuff (meshes,Modules, Textures,.....) of the new BASE shuttles. Do a zip for the new missions, MIR and sts 60.

 

[MarkWatney2015]

That would be more convenient imho. Lightens up the download performance if base content and mission-specific content are separate with each other

 

[MarkWatney2015]

Also. OrbitHangar can now handle more than one zip file per page so there's no need to create a new page for STS-2016 if you want to

I made a zip with the shuttles. NO scenarios

Working on a zip with the MIR/Shuttles

I get a CTD on this scn in my vanilla orbiter d3d9 version 4.25

Lights Max =8. Looking at the shuttle lights. I added the PBlights. Which is a vessel with beacons where the lights would be.
But only one control for the lights. Not sure how many lights are there.

But the shuttle has 6 bayload, rms, dock, forward bulkhead. (9)

Any thoughts?
pb attached outside the shuttle

inside the shuttle but off

lights on

shuttle lights on

For the MIR you will need the the
Vesselbuilder http://www.intech-srl.eu/fred/VesselBuilder1_PreRelease.zip

GenericAPAS https://www.orbithangar.com/showAddon.php?id=b26324ec-029f-45bf-bf6b-32bfeeb24277


There are some textures from STS_Payloads

The STS76 needs some work on the Bridgerail PFR. You may get a CTD

Redid the MIr shuttle zip now STS76 and STS 86 work

Documents are the hard thing. For the MIR Shuttles. The Cargo bay are vessels. Control + space opens dialogue boxes. They allow to be focus on another vessel while still controlling the actions. In the STS 76 F1 view is the camera view. CTRL=space moves the window to control the cameras. For Example in STS 86 you need to EVA and collect the MEEP's from the Docking Module. So CTRL+space opens the EVA window allowing them to move,.... Move to the MEEP . Focus to the MEEP and press K to open/close the MEEP. Close the MEEP and grab the MEEP and move to the Shuttle cargo bay. Focus on STS86 cargo bay and CRTL+space. Then the MEEP panel will open. Move the EVA and MEEP to the correct numbered position and press Grapple on the MEEP panel. If close it will grab the MEEP. Do the same for the other 3.

The docking Module in the scenario you need the line. STS??. This sets the Docking Module to the correct setup. Depending on the mission. Different meshes are seen. CTRL=space on the DM brings the control panel to attach the MEEP, Solar Cap, OPM.

I need to make an STS 81. In that mission EVA and get the OPM(Optical Properties Monitor) which will be attach in the Docking Tunnel and move the EVA and OPM to the attachment point on the DM. Focus on DM and CTRL+space to open DM controls and attach the OPM.

I need to redo STS 86 and add the Solar Cap in the docking tunnel. The EVA will grab it and move it to the DM, Focus on the DM and CTRL +space open the DM panel and when close attach the solar cap.

The scenarios are based on the time of first docked. Set the MFD to that date and set the MET to that. That take calculations.

​

 

[gattispilot]

On STS76 the scenario starts with the EVA because the MEEP clamps are in the EVA hands. In this mission the EVA go to the DM and attach the clamps to the DM and then they go to the MEEP and grab it and carry to DM and attach the MEEP to the clamp, Focused on the clamp press K to attach/detach


STS 86 EVA start:

Position the arm and grab the solar cap. Ignore the the cap going thru the dock.

and move to the aft of the DM and use the DM grab the solar cap.

Attached is a update to the shuttle. I will update the main zip.

Now all (71,74,76,79,81,89,91) mission are listed. Mainly just docked with the MIR. STS 74 you need to move the DM from the bay to the top of the ODS. I have the stored location for RMS movement. STS 76 EVA MEEP placement, STS 86 Solar Cap, and MEEP retrieval

 

[gattispilot]

UGH. I found a issue with the RMS attachment point.

I might redo the wording on the RMS panel On the joint sequence. If you use any number past 6 it messing up.

On the RMS scenarios I am storing the position. Then recall and do the joint seq and the rms will move to the position.



Also I need to redo the mesh of the DM and STS74.

 

[gattispilot]

What I might do as far as lighting goes. Make a shuttle mesh with the bay doors open and make into a VB vessel and add 1 light and see what looks best. With Orbiter only allowing 8 lights. It takes away when the RMS, Cargo Bay and EVA lights are on

 

[gattispilot]

How do i use your STS files are there steps to installing it like DaveS showed us how to install SSU v5 up to date

I am not sure what you are asking. The STS2016 is already compiled as a Vessel so it is is a matter of adding it into a scenario,.....

 

[gattispilot]

Here is a VB shuttle with 1 light

Not sure If I can confide to the bay and not on the wings?


I wonder if the lights created and not turned on affect performance?

 

[gattispilot]

Newest and hopefully last MIR shuttle

Also working on STS 46 and STS 75 TSS1 missions

 

[gattispilot]

Ms2015 is really needed for the launches. Which scenario is this?

 

[gattispilot]

STS46 tss1

 

[gattispilot]

STS 107 is the Intrepid. From the log it looks like the module is n't there. There are 2 shuttle modules.
Shuttle2016B late shuttle with the 10 MFD cockpit
Shuttle2016BEARLY shuttle with 3 mfd

 

[gattispilot]

Playing around with the lightning.
this is what I got now:

redid the lightning:

But why does the TSS and eva guy not get lit. While the Mpess and cargo bay does. Also the thermal cover and KU band antenna are not lit?
