Hubble Space Telescope for Orbiter 2006P1. Model was not made by me, actually it`s composed of two - Orbiter Fan`s earlier model (solar arrays and antennas), and central "tube" taken from Celestia motherlode published Jestr`s Hubble`s 3DS model. I deleted some details, meshes, as i experienced some corruption in mesh ("parasitic" connections between vertexes, so unnecessary faces appeared). But it still looks good. Polys in v2.0 ~110,000 (but not 600,000!). Solar arrays textures are close to those of the HST first period 1990-93.
Extract into orbiter 2006 folder, preserving directory structure.
One scenario supplied is just HST. Nothing needed there, I`ve put system entry as Sol there! Another one is scenario which requires everything Roblin`s and Gazza`s packs require - STS-61in orbit, there is FSS, taken from STS-41C. There look at the system entry, I use Sol-STS, maybe yours is different !!!
Beware that if there is HST.cfg or .ini file, or HST.msh file in your Orbiter installation, it can be overwritten.
P.S. Spacecraft3.dll and pylon.dll required!
In version 1.1 - corrected antenna and solar array positions, as was pointed out by DaveS !
In version 1.2 - added NASA and ESA logos on main tube !
In version 1.3 - added more realistic solar array texture made by 80mileshigh !
In version 2.0 - HST made with separate solar arrays - first step to "servicability". Radiator removed (~40,000 polys less!) More realistic solar array unfolding animations.
