This addon doesn't use spacecraft4, so that wouldn't help anyway. What you likely need is mscvr100.dll. The addon author already posted information on how to get it, which I've quoted below: There's also a newer version of this Lunar Module included with the AAPO addon, also by Hlynkacg.

Bull feces. If such a majority of learned people existed at the time, Octave Chanute wouldn't have had articles published in The Railroad and Engineering Journal, and Samuel Pierpont Langley wouldn't have gotten an audience at the War Department or the Smithsonian for his Aerodrome. Both men...

Like Urwumpe said, that's a legend. Look up Samuel Pierpont Langley, who got funding from the US military and also the Smithsonian in 1898 to produce a piloted airplane. That Langley's plane was ultimately inferior to the Wright's and also spawned a bad case of institutional revisionism is...

Adding a PADBIAS line in the scenario file to the bottom-most stage is the simplest way to move it higher. There's more info on page 9 of the Velcro Rockets pdf.

This place is claustrophobic? Whatever the heck "futuristic" means to you, it may or may not have, but small it is not.

Who would want to fly a used airliner...?? You don't know what happened on that first flight.... Might as well buy a new one..... :P

Holy poultry Batman, that video's a turkey.

Chuck of SFDebris did a two part look at at the first Back to the Future, first part about the making of of the film, and the second part a review of the film itself. It's somewhat long, but very worthwhile.

I can't take a guess at what may be wrong- there's not enough info. There's a file called Orbiter.log in the root folder of your install, and whatever might be causing your problem should have made itself known there, or at least left some clues. Ensure that the last scenario you have ran is the...

A KH-9 only has a diameter of 10 feet or just over 3 meters, a whole meter shorter than than the Shuttle's bay diameter; on the face of it, a KH-9 doesn't need that much room. This history of the decisions leading to the Space Shuttle(linked to the relevant chapter) attributes the length...

I'm going to guess you meant X meters as a diameter measure, then something like length or something. Without knowing how long 'long-duration' means to you, I can't give a simpler answer than more is generally better the longer the mission lasts. It also depends on the configuration of your...

Orion is under powered, at least in comparison to the Apollo CSM that LTMFD expects you to use for TEI. That's less of a mark against the Orion than a legacy of the CSM being built with taking off from the lunar surface in mind, like with the direct mode of operations that was the plan early in...

The config file to put things in Eridanus for launch is the the file "eridanus_payload.cfg" in the root of your particular Orbiter folder. It's pretty self-explanatory, but here is what the file looks like set up to launch the Habitat Core I used. I haven't made any changes since yesterday...

The addons Pipcard linked should in Orbiter 2010, though I don't quite remember enough from trying them out a while back to make a guarantee. As for a Orion or SLS, thinking there isn't enough data is a bit silly, since SLS and Orion either learn heavily on existing equipment(that there is data...

You're probably not using the offsets enough. To reacquaint myself with how Eridanus does payloads, I ran a few test scenarios with the Habitat Core from Space Station Modules addon loaded aboard Eridanus via the config file. For the first test, I deliberately left the offsets at zero for all...
