RocketshipHeinlein V1.2 2007-07-03

r-heinlein2.jpg


    Rocketship Heinlein is my homage to both the author Robert Heinlein and the era of science fiction he made great. While Heinlein doesn't have unlimited fuel it does have more than enough for most excursions called for by the Interplanetary Patrol.
    Heinlein features animated doors and ladders. And when used in conjunction with UMMUFA you can EVA crew from both the side hatch and the bottom of the ladder.

Rocketship Heinlein requires the use of:
Spacecraft3.dll    http://users.swing.be/vinka/
UMMU        http://orbiter.dansteph.com/index.php?disp=d
UMMUFA        http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2946
    Spacecraft.dll is required, UMMU and UMMUFA are highly recommended, but it will run without them.

    In order to use Heinlein's UMMUFA functions you need to edit the UMMUFA.ini file in your orbiter root and change the INI file path to:
Scenarios\Heinlein\Heinlein-UMMUFA.ini
    There are two airlock options for Heilein. Lock1 will EVA your crew from the side hatch, best if you only use this in freefall. Dock2 will EVA your crew member at the bottom of the ladder, for use when landed.

Animations:
K-opens/closes ladder door and lowers ladder for ground boarding
G-opens/closes the nosecone for docking operations

***UPDATE***V1.2
