I've converted the scenarios to use Skylab1973, added the flight director from Velcro Rockets, fixed a few bugs and isms, and added a couple scenarios.
Another major change: uses, for the first time, my "Generic EVA" code. (Thanks to Urwumpe for the base code and a lot of help). Generic EVA is a .cfg-based EVA code that overwrites the old gemini_leva code that's been in most of my add-ons.

Please let me know if anything doesn't work, of course.

Nice to see this one updated. Looking forward to your update of the MOL.

When the weather cools down a bit I'll add this one to my next orbiter installation.

Found a small bug: The Skylab you refer to is not existing. You address "Skylab1973/Skylab" in the Starclipper scenarios, the vessel is named "Skylab1973/Skylab-I".

Also, the Skylab orbit is completely ruined on my installation, looks like the elements are wrong. I get a CTD after some seconds of flight, but the displayed elements are already terribly wrong before (Inc:180° LAN:180° is an singularity).

(ELEMENTS 6804000.0 0.000 72.46 164.93 196.85 137.08 42002.5738)

OOPS! Forgot I'd done that; you need to copy the Skylab1973/Skylab-I.cfg to Skylab1973/Skylab.cfg. Or, just download the update, where I just added this.
The reason this was done is that I was unable to set the Docking HUD to Skylab because Orbiter wouldn't accept the "-" dash character. But I forgot to include the changed .cfg file. Fixed in the update.

Inc 180 LAN 180 is indeed a singularity, but that's not what I get when I run the thing. Download the update, and let me know if it's still happening. And if so, >HOW<? This should pop you into an orbit of equatorial inclination 50 degrees (ecliptic, 72).

Now I get scared. Am I sleep-developing? :unsure:

I can't answer that for sure, but over a year ago, you sent me the Astro2001 refactor. I was already halfway through my "generic EVA" refactor, and I kitbashed the two codes together. And then hit a stumbling block, because if you started a scenario with an EVA, then brought it inside, the scenario crashed. It was only yesterday that I tried the same thing with LOLAMFD disabled, which finally let me figure out what was going on...this delayed the thing for MONTHS.

Still the same problem with the elements, but I also can't tell what causes the problem.

Odd. What happens if you paste in the raw vectors:

RPOS -2016533.36 6316905.40 -1524701.75
RVEL 7059.526 1663.379 -2445.305

Strange enough: The same result. But I found a new symptom: The Skylab vehicle is not correctly created. It has mass 0, etc. in the information dialog.

Again, oops. There needs to be a Skylab.ini in the /Config/Spacecraft folder to go with the Skylab.cfg.

Updated AGAIN. Try it now.

Scenario works now, but the launch azimuth of the MOL to Skylab mission seems to be wrong, got into a 89° EQU Inc orbit.

I'm getting a CTD with the ISS scenerios with the Orbiter log saying that I'm missing the textures " Probe 02" and "Probe 03." Checking the Zip file, there are no files by these name in the zip. Are these apart of another add-on like the MOL or the Skylab? Here is the Obiter log for the "Starclipper Launch (ISS)"

I sure wish I knew why some people get a CTD with a missing texture, and others don't.

In fact, Probe02.dds and Probe03.dds belong to the probe in the second shuttle, and this problem would have been in place for anyone who downloaded v1.0, too!

Updated AGAIN, to include the textures for the probe. Hail probe!
