    Project Space Shuttle Vessel

    OK thanks for all the info! Also looking forward to the changes you were hinting at @GLS, certainly staying tuned for those :) So by the sounds of it, the two questions from my side above (assigning a custom target for SPEC34 operations, and determining a target relative velocity vector at T2)...

    Project Space Shuttle Vessel

    Thanks for the pointers. I managed to see the Exec label once, but couldn't reproduce a reliable way of making sure it appears. Tried your tip of cycling through the OPS 201/202 screens, but that was unreliable for me. Yes, I tried pressing the EXEC button anyway in that time window... and I...

    Project Space Shuttle Vessel

    Ok, lots of progress here! :) But still a key problem remaining. I managed to get the correct maneuver loaded into the ORBIT MNVR EXEC display, used some of the guidelines from the previous page in this thread to get generate a solution (22), set a timer (23), and align the shuttle...

    Question Glideslope / BaseSync reentry of STS/Shuttle Fleet Shuttle

    Looks like I'm using Jacchia71-Gill right now. Just tried logging the data from the Flightdata plugin, good suggestion Martin, thanks! Overall reentry was like the ones posted above: Coming in way too hot, and overall burning too little velocity. That's the classic picture for me: I feel...

    Project Space Shuttle Vessel

    Man, SSV is really the Shuttle simulator I always felt needs to exist :) Again, tremendous work here. I used Shuttle Fleet back in 2009 and it was already quite amazing, but SSV tops everything else out there. So, now that everything seems to be set up fine etc., I'm working my way through one...

    🤦‍♂️ Thanks though GLS - all working great. :)

    Project Space Shuttle Vessel

    Phenomenal work on this! Wow! I just started to look into it, barely scratched the surface and I think a lot of things to dig into. One immediate question I have is what am I doing wrong in terms of VC MFDs? Most scenarios I start, i.e. all scenarios in "Testing scenarios" folder, most MFDs...

    Question Glideslope / BaseSync reentry of STS/Shuttle Fleet Shuttle

    Thanks for the input Snax. I suppose I could try increasing the anticipation angle so I'm farther away from the destination, and have more time to burn down velocity? I don't think I meddled with any settings in Earth.cfg either to change the atmosphere? The only thing I can think of is that...

    Question Glideslope / BaseSync reentry of STS/Shuttle Fleet Shuttle

    Thanks for posting this Snax! I tried it with your values: EI 1.23deg Ant 74.48deg Alt 121.92km Starting orbit: MIR orbit, so around 400x400. I got totally different results compared to your video. What shuttle are you flying? And which Glideslope cfg? I'm using the STS2016 shuttle...

    Question Glideslope / BaseSync reentry of STS/Shuttle Fleet Shuttle

    Interesting - so do you override the default EI angle in the BaseSync config? Meanwhile, I have been experimenting with setting my own Glideslope data based on the actual behavior of the (STS2016) shuttle. I have been getting much better results, even though it still needs some tweaking...

    Question Glideslope / BaseSync reentry of STS/Shuttle Fleet Shuttle

    Yea, that makes a lot of sense. Even though Glideslope always used to be a very popular add-on AFAIK, so it would surprise me that the values are off by so much. I did some digging in the config files, and turns out the Glideslope values aren't actually computed by any means but are just taken...

    Question Glideslope / BaseSync reentry of STS/Shuttle Fleet Shuttle

    Just to show another example: This time stock Atlantis, same procedure, same behavior. At 100km altitude, Glideslope indicates I should decelerate by -0.67m/s2 - but in fact I'm still accelerating. AoA is 40deg, and I tried banking or not banking - same result. Is Glideslope just generally...

    Question Glideslope / BaseSync reentry of STS/Shuttle Fleet Shuttle

    Hi all, I'm using the Space Transportation System 2016 add-on, together with Glideslope 2.7 and BaseSync, and I'm having trouble understanding why my velocity after EI is not going down. This is the procedure: Undock from MIR, at roughly 400x400 orbit. Use Glideslope to select Cape Canaveral...

    Idea Shuttle Fleet recompile for Orbiter 2016

    Hmm; yea looks like these config files are in config\GC. Copying them into config\vessels ensures that the scenario can load - but it seems the scenario is broken. The objects are in the scenario it seems, but trying to focus on either one of them via F3 places the camera 1AU away somewhere in...

    Idea Shuttle Fleet recompile for Orbiter 2016

    All of them with a similar error. Example #1 Scenario: SpaceTransportationSystem2016\Endeavour Scenarios\Endeavour Launch Example #2 Scenario: SpaceTransportationSystem2016\STS-1 1st Space Shuttle Mission
