New Release STS Expansion Pack V4.1.5 released at OH

[David413]

Just released the updated Expansion Pack for the Space Shuttle Fleet V4.1.5. Please read the set-up pdf file located in the "Setup Docs" subdirectory for installation instructions and required supporting add-ons and their installation order; the manual for the Expansion pack is located in the "Add-on Docs" subdirectory. This manual is incomplete and will be updated in the future along with additional tutorials, however for now I wanted to release the package in advance of the STS-119 mission. Included in this package are prelim STS-119 scenarios for launch and approach to docking with a S6 truss from Donamy.

This package consolidates all of the previous STS mission expansion packs in one release.

[David413]

Yes, the error log confirms what I thought, you did NOT install the required add-ons as detailed in the setup doc file. The expansion pack is a summation of previous individual mission packages and requires add-ons that were released by others. Page 6 of the setup doc:

Packages should be installed into the clean installation in the following order:
1. Shuttle Fleet V4.1.5
2. ISS Fleet V2.1.0
3. The Node Module by Well
4. The Columbus Module by No Matter
5. The ATV by Well and No Matter
6. STS-122 Payloads by Donamy
7. STS-123 Payloads by Donamy
8. STS-124 Payloads by Donamy
9. STS-126 Payloads by Donamy
10. This expansion package (should be loaded last).​

If you don't load the packages, some of the later scenarios will not work.​

 

[fresh squid]

I love all the work you have done on the shuttles. Its really great stuff.
I appreciate all the hard work that you have done. Everything worked quite well for me after installation.

I do have one issue, its minor and in no way a complaint. I have found that the scenario for sts 32 (columbia historical mission) has no ldef in it. It was easy enough to add one myself but I was just wondering if it was a problem on my end. I have since found other scenarios lacking the iss where there should be one.

Like I mentioned before, not a complaint I'm having wayyy too much fun with this.

 

[David413]

Good catch; I meant to have a historically accurate LDEF in the scenario and somehow over-looked putting it there. I'll put that on the list to update.

Which ISS scenarios are you having a problem with?

Here is the proper STS-32 scenario with the LDEF in a historically correct orbit...

Remember, this scenario is part of the STS Expansion Pack and will not work without the expansion pack being installed.

 

[Mustard]

That works now. thx and sorry for my mistake.
It's beautifull, great work. Bravo

It is possible to make one package with all this packs ?

 

[fresh squid]

Which ISS scenarios are you having a problem with?

I am unable to recreate the problem. I guess thats a good thing.
Thanks for the updated ldef info.


:hotcool:

 

[David413]

It is possible to make one package with all this packs ?

If you mean all of the third-party add-ons (such as those by Well and No Matter and Donamy), I would first need to get each author's permission to include them. I would be a little reluctant to do this however as you then run the risk of the add-ons being updated and having the pack install older versions (this actually happened with the Columbus module add-on) and it would also make the package much larger. I have included those add-ons that I had permission to use already, for the rest of the add-ons for now I'll let the user download them for him or herself. Besides, once downloaded there is nothing to prevent you from creating your own package for personal use of these add-ons (that's what I do so that if I create a new Orbiter installation, reloading them is easy).

 

[David413]

The Expansion pack has now been updated to include the previously separate STS-119 scenarios. Additionally, a new package is available that can be used with the Med/Hi-Res KSC add-ons. This package is also now available at Orbit Hangar.
