Hi Everybody Thank you all for the comments! I banged my head on the desk more than once while I was bumbling along with this, and you just made it all worthwhile :cheers: PS I thought it looked like an iron too. PPS ar81 & liber thank you very much - I already have your versions :thumbup:

SHUTTLE PBD Yet another alternative Shuttle PB mesh. There is no virtual cockpit, this mesh uses the standard Shuttle PB files. Back up the original Shuttle PB mesh or rename it if you want to keep it, as this mesh will overwrite it. Unzip to your Orbiter folder. Made with Anim8or...

As a couple of the replies here have suggested, if you are really keen and crazy enough to attempt it, you could try doing some spacecraft 3 coding to make one or more super powerful and massive customised control modules which you dock everything else onto. You need to account for the combined...

Juanelm, the avatar is great :rofl:

I agree. I was very offended. I publicly apologise if I have also given offence.

Vietnam. Every human is stupid, selfish and vain, and warmongers most of all, in my stupid, selfish and vain opinion. We are conceited monkeys. The universe is chaotic. :cheers:Thank you and goodbye.

Greetings young master, I have only done one myself, and that is for SC3.dll, but the config file stuff is all based on the OAPI anyway. I found that you have to do it by trial and error, by adjusting the parameters until you get something that flies. I couldn't find anything on the web that I...

Yeah, what I am trying to say is "Cut" everything out of the Space_Taxi_2 folder and "Paste" it into the Orbiter root folder. eg "Space_Taxi_2/meshes" folder contains the mesh that should be in "Orbiter/meshes" folder, etc. Hope that's a bit clearer:)

Hey, you're welcome. :cheers: I am new to modelling myself, so I am not the one to be able to answer technical questions. I am using Anim8or, so I don't know jack about 3dStudio. With a bit of luck some of the knowledgeable guys will pick up on this thread soon. I will try to help with my...

It looks like the files unzip to a folder called "Space_Taxi_ 2". Take everything out of the "Space_Taxi_ 2" folder, including the subfolders, and drop them into your Orbiter folder and you should be right to go. You need Vinka's "spacecraft3.dll" to make it go, too. Hope that helps.

Good on you for getting in and doing it:speakcool: Try using Mesh Wizard to translate your bits; Mesh Wizard 1.9d Good luck with your project! I look forward to seeing the end result:)

...but old addons (made with vinka's dlls) can be made to run on newer versions of Orbiter by using the right version of vinka's dll, in the vast majority of cases. As you get deeper into playing around with Orbiter, you'll suss these sorts of things out more and more. I hope you are having fun...

"No. That was the initial idea, but as coding progressed, Vinka had problems of compatibility with older addons. So he decided to preserve these versions. "If someone is running Orbiter 2005 and only one Spacecraft and Multistage is there, you would have problems." Yeah, that's what I was...

Background stuff (such as rules for aerodynamics) changes as new Orbiter versions are released, the end result is that different vinka dll's work for different addons that were made for different Orbiter versions.

:speakcool: and again :speakcool: an epitome of sartorial elegance ;)
