OHM Antares/Cygnus update

Are you showing any fuel ?
 
Yeah I use Control+F after separation and the fuel is full, it can even be seen depleting as I burn but there is no change to the spacecraft attitude or velocity.
 
Do have the RCS on rotation, and do you have the view on global ?
 
Goto your Config folder and copy your spacecraft folder, then paste into modules/server/config.
Or better yet, use the Create symbolic links button in the D3D9Client Advanced Setup dialog.
 
RCS is on rotation and view on Global. I'm thinking maybe it's some incompatibility with something else.
 
Very strange ! Are you sure you are focused on the cygnus ?
 
This is a nice add-on. The only issue that I have is that the Wallops Island "base" is not compatible with the stock bases Wallops Island, which has nicer tiles and an airport. What you have here really isn't a base so much as a launchpad, but a nice one at that.

IMHO, it would be better to implement the pad as a vessel rather than a base, which seems to be a good strategy used in many other add-ons.

I have managed to make some changes such that the two aligns. Let me dig deep into my Orbiter file..... :hmm:
 
Yeah focus is on Cygnus. I'll try it on a fresh install to see if it works. it's very weird because the orbit mfd is glitched when focusing on Cygnus. Even if i'm in a stable orbit, the orbitmfd displays very weird values.
 
Okay, I did some work to get this add-on to play nice with the stock bases add-on. ([ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6007"]Orbiter stock bases upgrade[/ame])

First of all, I changed the name of the Wallpos_Island.cfg that comes with THIS add-on to LP-0A.cfg (also set Name = LP-0A). I changed the location as follows:

Location = -75.4882 +37.8338

This moves the pad onto (nearly) the correct position along the beach.


In the launch scenarios that come with this add-on, I changed the position of Antcore:OSC\Antares to the following:

POS -75.4881900 37.8337920

This lines the rocket up to the pad in its new position.

To my own taste, I trimmed out some of the pads and block buildings from the Wallops_Island.cfg that comes with the STOCK BASES add-on to clean up the area around LP-0A and LP-0B. I used comments so that they can be restored if desired. This is my new Wallops_Island.cfg:

Code:
BASE-V2.0
Name = Wallops Island
Location = -75.480003 37.830002
Size = 1000
ObjectSize = 100
MAPOBJECTSTOSPHERE = TRUE

This is the result:



(A bet everyone thinks I'm a little OCD right now :embarrassed:)

So, LP-0A obviously is higher res than stock bases and stands out quite a bit, but I've gotten used to this in Orbiter 2010. I realize that there are higher def Wallops add-ons out there, but for me stock bases is a good interim solution until I upgrade to Orbiter 2015 :tiphat: Anyway, I hope others that might agree find these changes useful.

P.S., I found the Antares guidance file that comes with this add-on gives me a PeA of only 80km, with a large negative vertical velocity after the second stage burn. Multistage guidance is a bit inconsistent (and perhaps FPS dependent), so you may not need this, but this tweaked guidance file gives me a better final orbit:
Code:
-2=engine(0,100,3)
10=roll(2,88,128.094,87,1)
30=pitch(87,80,20)
40=pitch(80,75,10)
50=pitch(75,65,60)
110=pitch(65,55,8)
118=pitch(55,50,6)
124=pitch(50,45,14)
138=pitch(45,25,22)
150=pitch(25,10,50)
200=pitch(10,5,30)
230=pitch(5,5,50)
244=fairing()
280=pitch(5,8,30)
310=pitch(8,0,50)
360=pitch(0,-1,100)
425=jettison()
 
Is it possible to add a VC, like with the ATV made by Well and Nomatter?
 
For the Cygnus ?
