Legacy Add-on Reviews from Orbit Hangar Mods


Review by jdk12
Pros: Easy to use. Makes good stations
Cons: Can't see the pictures of the parts. Unable to attach hab
Review:
Its missing some stuff. I don't know how to attach the Habitats to the station. There is no compatible port. Other than that its pretty good. It justs needs an update.


Review by geagea
Pros: ? supose to write here [ pros ]
Cons: same as above [ cons ]
Review:
The habitats can be mounted after you mounted an tank ,my problem is that i cant mount docking ports to habitats ,as generally if you can make it run in directX 9 or 10 for low end computers ... til know every ting is ok ... i just remember if you can draw a marking point of the rotational work space cos wen you move the object from the center you may loose your work and need to zoom out a lot to find it.


Review by spaceboy221
Pros: Good Add-on
Cons: Lack of Hab support
Review:
Its a good addon, excellent for those new to dev work. It does lack a decent documentation and some features, such as hab modules, do not work.


Review by darkwanderer
Pros: Great idea
Cons: Non-finished
Review:
If it's ever finished - will be a must have for every pilot.

This is absolutely fantastic, long awaited and pretty impressive for a work in progress. I would love to see more station parts / modules in future releases... Thanks so much!

impressed 10/10 stars
i think it's a MUST to allow importing user-made parts ... yep its a MUST

Well, how do you imagine that? It's a procedural module generator.
If i put just a mesh into it, how does this user-made piece purpose will be defined?

using the standart orbiter mesh specification ; importing orbiter meshes
The attachment points could be defined using .cfg files or within your 3d prog
and remove the Restrictions - allow the user to freely attach parts

Adding a support for pre-defined mesh part inclusion is not a problem, defining purpose of such pre-made parts is.

remove the Restrictions - allow the user to freely attach parts

What restrictions are you talking about?

I don't see why it's a must. Once you get the station into orbiter you can do what you want with it via docking ports or UCD.

 

[SPASE_1976]

What restrictions are you talking about?

the attach restrictions , the red arrows that imply that the 2 parts are incompartible to be attached in that position.

 

[Artlav]

Hm. I thought that made a lot of sense - only pieces that fits together to be attachable to each other. Otherwise, you could get some really weird-looking structures.

I'll add an override option.

 

[Vanguard]

Artlav, I haven't downloaded or tried it out yet, but kudos on the basic premise and idea. Looks like a great tool, keep up the good work.

 

[IgnoreThisBarrel]

Amazing tool! I think more modules should be added as well as a docking port that looks like the ones on the ISS; nice and flat.

One (I think simple) suggestion is to update it to UMMU 2.0.

 

[iamwearingpants]

Made a station using this, and everytime I try to load it Orbiter crashes.

I unzipped the zip file into the orbiter folder.

Is this even 2010 compatible? Can't to get this in orbit around Earth!

 

[garyw]

Posting the orbiter.log would help as without it, trying to work out what's actually going on with your setup is impossible.

Here it is :thumbup:

I see a warning for obsoleteness.
It may not be compatible

 

[garyw]

What's collision-core.dll ? It's certainly not written for Orbiter 2010.

Also, does orbiter work fine with the default scenarios?

Orbiter works perfect in the default scenarios.
And I don't know what collision-core.dll is,and disabling it made no difference.

I think that the oapiGetStationCount thingy may be part of the addon.

 

[.mm222.]

Not very good

It has a confusing interface, but after some experimenting, I figured it out and it became quite easy. Limited options, but I can deal with that. Overall, not bad.

HOWEVER, I can't make this a good review.....


My station came out black and texture-less, and after a few seconds, it crashed orbiter.

Sorry, thumbs down.

 

[spacemonkey81]

great work in progress, easy to use, could use more and better looking parts,
and (i think this is a big point) a more accurate way select size of the objects,
clicking on the slide just isnt precice enough, maybe the ability to input values numerically, and what the other guy said: the dockingports need work.
overall its a great addon and really usefull, great work

 

[jedidia]

great work in progress

Uh... Not anymore it isn't :shifty:
