Question. In the install instructions, is number 3 the SSV files? So the sequence is Orbiter base game, sound, antelope, then SSV.

Like a lot of users who've been around for the 20 year run of Orbiter, I drift in and out of using the sim. Just now noticed that SSV has been released(insert John McClane saying "Welcome to the party pal"). Guess Orbiter is now going to eat into my flight simming. LOL. Hope to grab v1.2...

First time docking at the ISS, as corny as it sounds, is such big achievement. It's finally putting it all together; the theory, and and the practice. I remember making it to a stable rendezvous with the ISS, and just sitting back for a good half hour in real time, admiring the view, and...

Yes, I was thinking CTRL+L as the keyboard shortcut. Was the payload bay and KU antenna control panel that's called up with CTRL+SPACE, a part of the original Shuttle Fleet? I guess I never flew any payload missions in the old SF, and really just used it then, and now, for LEO sight seeing...

I think that issue is also present in the SSU. With the bay doors closed, if you move around the 3D flight deck, and look into the bay, you see the outside reflected off of the radiators. Maybe that's a sim limitation when it comes to reflective meshes? Speaking of the radiators, I noticed...

I was looking at a bunch of the scenarios, and saw those lines, thought because there were two that it could be them. Shoulda just changed them.....LOL. Thanks a bunch. Tim EDIT: Ohhhhhhhhh.....It just hit me. PETD = Port External Tank Door, and SETD = Starboard External Tank Door. ?

OK, one more simple question. Is there a line in scenario file that controls the starting position of the ET umbilical doors; open vs closed? The scenario I've been using starts with them closed, so when the ET is jettisoned, it looks odd to see them already closed.

I've tried to do this, both on the ground prior to launch, and during the ascent with no luck. Clicking the ADD button brings up a text box. I've tried entering the data as it's displayed on the MFD GNC screen, and I've tried entering it the way it is in the guidanc INI file. Maybe I just...

Oh geez....it's that simple. ?? Thank you kindly.

I've been using the Atlantis Launch SCN from the Atlantis scenarios in the STS2016 scenarios folder. If it's not too much trouble, I'd love the scenario, only to have a working example to be able to transfer that to other scenarios. Next up for me will be trying to get the Thornton/Donamy ISS...

@gattispilot One last-ish question. Do any of the launch scenarios have the docking adapter inside the shuttle bay, for missions to the ISS and MIR?

Just like the title says. I'm trying to launch the shuttle fleet with MS2015 to the ISS, but the launch heading is set on all scenarios to 62 degrees. I've looked through the manual, and fired up developer mode, but I see no obvious way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim

@CTarana45 as I understand it, you only need the extras outside of Multistage2015, D3D9Client, and Shuttle Fleet v4.8r2, if you want to fly a specific scenario that includes that item. For example, if you want to fly some Hubble missions, you will have to install the HST listed above. Most of...

@pappy2 Heck yeah, I loved the Shuttle Fleet back in the day. This re-boot is going to make a lot of orbinauts VERY happy. I noticed a couple things on the few launches I tested. I need to do some more testing before I post about it.

Yes to all of the above. The questions are not annoying at all, they are very valid. And no excuse needed for your english skills. Much respect for anyone that can speak/read more than one language. So, it turns out my suspicion was correct. I use 7zip for my compressed files. It was...
