Unable to close pl bay doors on Shuttle Ultra

[vanderlow]

Hi,

For some reason I'm unable to close the payload bay doors on the shuttle. This is the second time that I've encountered this problem.

The radiators, RMS and KU-antenna are all stowed correctly. Is this a known bug or am I forgetting something?

Thanks for your help!

Do you have powered the Payload bay systems?

 

[vanderlow]

The PL Bay Door SYS1 & SYS2 are enabled. The PL Bay Mech Pwr systems are disabled.

Fits. Closes on the current development version, even with the RMS MPMs deployed...

Weird. I did a complete reinstall of Orbiter. The only addon running is the Space Shuttle Ultra v0.96.

The default shuttle scenarios allow me to close the pl bay doors, but the equivalent shuttle ultra ones do not. Specifically Atlantis ISS Resupply & Atlantis docked at ISS.

Am I doing something obviously wrong?

 

[Urwumpe]

The scenario works here, but there had been many changes since the 1.06 release.

I think you should test this again after the next version is released. The scenarios also needs some updating to contain useful data, but we will do this later.

Can you save the scenario just before you close the doors and post it here? Also, make sure you're using the lates (V1.06) version.

 

[vanderlow]

Right, I've saved the scenario. I'm assuming that you want me to cut 'n paste the scenario file here (sorry - I'm a newbie to these forums).

Here's the file:

Thanks for your help guys!

The RMS is still deployed. You should set the PL BAY MECH PWR SYS switches to ON, then press Ctrl+X to stow the arm. Then you should be able to close the doors.

 

[vanderlow]

Great, it works! Probably obvious to most - sorry I missed it...

Thanks for your help guys as well as a fantastic piece of kit!
