ALL the prelaunch vents?? I'll see what I can do ;-)Could you add the camera views that was shown on the official SN-8 12.5 km SpaceX webcast? Could you also add all the prelaunch vents?
Maybe try a different browser?My browser doesn't let me download the textures for the Boca Chica area using this url: https://mirror.orbiter-radio.co.uk/orbiter/assets/packages/Earth/EarthHi_10_07.zip
Is there another way?
Not sure what you mean. The links I put on OHM should take you to the correct .zip file for the appropriate area.Can somebody categorize all of these extra texture areas adequately? Vandenberg, Boca Chica, etc. all have some mysterious links to them that I have no way of 100% knowing if it's the right one.
Well, OK just the vents you see from T-2 minutes and down. I'm only talking about the vehicle vents, not the ground facility vents. One of the actually stay on through the flight. Here's the official SpaceX coverage of the 12.5 km flight:ALL the prelaunch vents?? I'll see what I can do ;-)
Generally speaking, put these extra areas on OHM as their own thing or on the main Orbiter site's textures section.Not sure what you mean. The links I put on OHM should take you to the correct .zip file for the appropriate area.
The certificate expired on Friday, November 27. 2020 03:00.Both Chrome and Edge throw a security warning. Chrome doesn't give the option to continue. Edge does so I've downloaded it now.
I wasn't thinking about orbital operations for SN8. Be aware that the RCS is undoubtedly underpowered for a fully fuelled vessel, also not balanced (RCS Roll will give Pitch moment, etc). Autopilots wont like it! There is a bug in the Main engines thrust vectoring somewhere - Roll Left is twice as strong as Roll Right! If I can fix it easily I will - otherwise I might just move on to another version and start from scratch. Apart from that, it seems to behave in LEO as I would expect.Later I tried something a little more serious by launching from Brighton Beach on the Moon for a trip to earth. Leaving the Moon was no problem, but once I got into LEO, the RCS suddenly felt weird. Without a tiny bit of main engines, it was hardly effective at all. With a small bit of main engine, it felt overreactive. Then I noticed I could roll left but not roll right. The KillRot autopilot had no authority either. Not sure if I am doing something wrong.
I am just messing around. See if I can follow the canyon. It's a bit difficult as it is now but a lot of fun nonetheless:I wasn't thinking about orbital operations for SN8. Be aware that..
I don't see why it couldn't, if it was coming in too "hot".With enough fuel, couldn't the Starship do a re-entry burn like the F9 first stage till it was low enough, then belly flop ?
Thanks for the update! The controls feel much better. Just need to practice now..Updated on OHM: v.201211
Fixed the Main engine thrust-vector unequal left/right Roll problem.
In the latest update, the SN8 tips over after landing. There seems to be sand on the landing pad: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uIU6R_gvxM3d-yO2X11P5oTx_hvBkE80/view?usp=sharingUpdated on OHM: v.201211
It's always the same at the beach - sand gets everywhere ;-)In the latest update, the SN8 tips over after landing. There seems to be sand on the landing pad: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uIU6R_gvxM3d-yO2X11P5oTx_hvBkE80/view?usp=sharing
