 ALIENs Sulaco For Orbiter 2010
 
This Add-on is the Sulaco and dropship from the movie Aliens, I was inspired to do this after downloading ALIEN (revisited) ADD-On
 
 
Required add-ons :
*Vinka's Spacecraft3 dll      
*http://users.swing.be/vinka/

OTHER ADD_ONS NEEDED BUT NOT INCLUDED:
*Relativistic Warp MFD 1.5  by Nicker43             http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4547
*Orbiter Sound 3.5 & UCGO 2.0 by Dan Steph  
*http://orbiter.dansteph.com/index.php?disp=d
*RWarp
*AutoHover MFD
 
Spaceship free flight:
All the thrust controls and attitude controls are standard Orbiter fair. Animation keys are as follows:
Sulaco:
g  Rotate Gun
k  Open/Close Hatch
 
Dropship:
g   Landing Gear
k  Ramp
L-SHIFT + NUM PAD 4   Open/Close Missile Pods (Turn Off Num Lock first)
 
Dropshiptransport:
g   Landing Gear
k  Ramp
 
KNOWN ISSUES: 
Frame rate drag especially with lower levels of ram / slower processors etc..., some meshes are massive relative to the norm 
for Orbiter, a consequence of exporting from Google Sketch-up
No textures on dropships, I am still learning, this is my first Add-on
Don't forget to un-dock the Dropship from the Sulaco BEFORE landing, this is a limitation of ORBITER.
 
Cheers, 
Jim.
