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.

 

[gattispilot]

No we get this.

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

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I actually use Scenario edito to get the shuttle in the light. And we get this:

Here is the zip for 1-9. https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZVeWjVZUirGajRLVEYrePE4vWlw2kbevzyX

I ran on a new vanilla orbiter with just ms2015, sts_payloads, D3d9, Vessel builder.

For the IUS you will need the Galileo.

STS-30 (Atlantis) and Magellan for Orbiter2016

This addon we made two years ago definitely needs an update lol. The translation thrusters are quite a bit unstable currently

 

[Johan2011]

Downloads from simviation looks slow, gattis.

 

[gattispilot]

Oh. Not sure what you are downloading?

 

[Gargantua2024]

Simviation? He might be referring to david413's ShuttleFleet addon that only works in O2010 which as we all know what STS-2016 intended to replace

 

[gattispilot]

Yes. SF is NOT needed. For Launches it will not work. Some in flight mission may work

 

[gattispilot]

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

 

[gattispilot]

sts61B I used STS_PAYLOADS ease. New ASE's for the satellites.

 

[gattispilot]

Another view. Somewhere the MFR was mounted. but not mentioned in the press book

 

[gattispilot]

EVa in STS61b. One thing odd is the RMS camera is gold. https://flic.kr/p/EFzLtp

 

[gattispilot]

Found and placed the MFR for sts 61b

 

[gattispilot]

I tried in the open source and the shuttle just sits at the pad with full throttle. It uses MS2015 for launches

 

[gattispilot]

Which d3d9 version works for Open source? Also ms2015 works. Not sure why the shuttle just sits there with full thrust? Maybe more thrust is required?

 

[Gargantua2024]

Haven't tested out OpenOrbiter yet (not even once), but I'd like to test it out in the coming few days
