Request New Shepard vehicle and tower

[Scorch]

Has anyone considered developing a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket? Forum discussions suggest an add-on may have been partially developed, but ran into problems?

I have working on new glenn

here is what I have so far on the new glenn.

I know this may sound weird that an addon of this magnitude would be requested, but I would love to see an addon of the Blue Origin New Glenn rocket with the keyboard functions like autopilot launch and the animated booster landing sequence following the rocket's successful maiden flight on January 16th (minus the booster which was lost upon reentry).

Oh wow! Impressive work!

Here's some pics of what I was working on, with some help from BrianJ.

 

[gattispilot]

Nice. Were you able to launch and autoland?

I LOVE this!! Are you still working on it, or is it shelved for now? The models look awesome!

 

[Donamy]

It's been shelved for some time. I don't have the Orbiter files anymore, but I have all the models.

 

[gattispilot]

I hate to say it. Could I use the models and get her flying? I was using @BrianJ code from the Falcon to get the New Glenn up. I would think it would be similar just the 1st stage and the capsule as a payload

 

[Donamy]

Sure. I'll get everything zipped up.
BrianJ may have some stuff. It was awhile ago.

Hi Don
I still have the z6034 "cherry picker" and gth1544 "fork lift" (although gth1544 has no textures).
The .dll's still work with Orbiter2016 but slide a bit on slopes.
Sadly, I can't find the Peterbilt truck (I had a lot of fun with that, thinking about "trailer dynamics"!).
I wonder if there is anything left as an attachment on the Corn Ranch thread?
Fork lift and cherry picker attached below.

Cheers,
Brian

 

[Donamy]

That's awesome. Thanks Brian.

 

[Scorch]

Thanks so much, Brian, Donamy and Gattispilot! I'll be following with great interest!

 

[Donamy]

Good news John. I found most of the files and sent them to you.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I will take a look. Been pretty good with vehicle in 2026/2024.

 

[gattispilot]

So not sure what people want. The rocket, or vehicles?
Shouldn't the blue origin land back on the pad? Like the Falcon 9?

I had to put the SC3 cfg/ini in the server folder to see them in d3d9. I need to see about the corn ranch?

 

[MarkWatney2015]

The capsule and the booster are what makes the New Shepard as it is. As it is only built for suborbital flight/tourism, it doesn't really makes sense to replace the capsule with anything else

 

[gattispilot]

Ok. Does it need auto land. I can try to make a dll of the rocket

 

[Scorch]

The booster autoland is definitely a fun aspect of showing off the Falcon 9 addon. I'd put it in the "nice to have but not required" category. I'm not sure how hard it is to get the autoland feature to work, though.

 

[gattispilot]

So want do you want.
