Project Space Transportation System 2016

I have run into an odd issue.
I have set the time and date.
but when I run the scn I get the current time and date?
current scn
BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT System Sol Date MJD 59854.8384259578 Help CurrentState_img END_ENVIRONMENT

and in the scn:
BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT System Sol Date 45030.666319 Help CurrentState_img END_ENVIRONMENT

I have noticed this is sts 2 and STs 3

Help CurrentState_img? This appears everytime there's a new SCN file is created. You can delete it anytime, it doesn't really affect your scenario file except just showing your last known state upon closing Orbiter
 
I have a zip with all textures, meshes, cfg,.... for STS 1-9. Right now they have simple (non-HD) launch. Next will make some orbit scn. The keys commands I will put into a Notes MFD file. All that will be needed to run these will be the newest STS2016, STS_payloads, MS2015, and Vesselbuilder. For the STS6,.... you will need meshes and textures for the Galileo
 
STS 8 launch is at 06 30 UTC. Dark at the pad. I will add a light vessel which will be some light stands and attached spotlights.

Trying to get STS 8 orbit. I loaded thge TLE and set the mjd. But the shuttle is dark.
INSAT/PAM Deploy 18D 25:16:58. That would be August 31st, 1983 07:47 UTC
MJD 45577.324306
 
Well the TLEs do tell us where exactly it was positioned at the time it was generated in real life. Maybe after plugging it in on Orbiter, you just simply fast forward till you come to the dayside before saving a scenario
 
Yes. SF is NOT needed. For Launches it will not work. Some in flight mission may work
 
I was looking at STS 61B It uses 3 turn tables.

Not sure if STS2016 can do that. Sure a turntable vessel could be made and then attached. But then it is not controlled by the shuttle
