Hi Pappy - I gave it a try, but it's beyond my skill set right now - I'll keep trying though as it's quite an intriguing problem!

Gattis - EVA works great for me now! Many thanks...
I've changed the satellite now - but uses the config files - used one from STS-5. Yes that is the Orbicom from that file. Hope this works for you:
BEGIN_DESC
STS-71E+ May, 1987
Pad 39-B
Fictional mission carrying Weststar, Orbicom and Spartan payload.
END_DESC

Excellent work Gattis. I've created this fictional mission:BEGIN_DESC

Fictional mission carrying Orbicom, Weststar, Orbicom and Spartan payload.
END_DESC
BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT

Wow - I would heartily endorse and appreciate updated missions. I've been tooling around with my own fictional payloads - You've given us a wonderful amount of tools to work with. Glad to see the community pitching in ideas - great going!
Pappy2 - Beautiful images - glad it works! Gattis did a great job of putting the fleet together.
Gattis - will you release the cool looking blue stripe "Constitution" reskin?
STS-66
Hello Gattis and Pappy - I've done this file for STS-66 and it works fine. You'll need to do the conf files - but it works. It is with the default pad:
BEGIN_DESC
MISSION ATLANTIS STS-66
END_DESC
BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT
System Sol
Date MJD 49659.7043
END_ENVIRONMENT
BEGIN_FOCUS...
I have the HD Pad 39 A+B show up but the default pads are still there. When I use the Canaveral config included with the HD pads it messes up my install.
Question: How does one go about removing the default launch pads at Pad 39.
Any assistance would be appreciated,
Many thanks
Hi pappy 2,
I would be very excited if it worked but when I try to open the LC39A+B for ShuttleFLeet HD I get this error message:

Hello Gazza or anyone else,
I'm intrigued by the suggestion that SF will partially work in Orbiter 2016. When Gazza mentions that he edits the attach points and timer - where is this? What file and what areas are you adjusting? Is it possible to post an adjusted file to look at? I'd be...
Hi White Owl,
It took me awhile to figure it out, but once I got the hang of was very pleased with what gattispilot had done. The focus starts on the ET, not the shuttle itself - that's why there's no VC. You launch using multistage 2015 in the ET - select the Multistage 2015 MFD, select...
Works great!
Tilt table - good
RCS - good
IUS - good
TDRS - good
Thanks - wonderful addon - we now can use most, if not all the old Payloads and have an early shuttle program!
This is great stuff - just tried it and it's nice to see Challenger in orbit again!
- the RCS - how does one change from liner to rotational - doesn't seem to work with the last version of the SPACESHUTTLE2016D.dll - but was fine in earlier versions.
Thanks again- wonderful to have the full...
Wow - thanks Gattispilot - works great. I now understand how you've put together the launch sequence - thanks for this! I've been trying differnet payloads from the old SF and they fit beautifully. One more ask, if possible - to change the rcs code in the latest version of the...
I am able to open the satellite pods on STS-5 - but no spinning and the only way to release is to go to the rms dialogue and eject them. On STS-6 I am able to raise the IUS table - but not release - I must go to the RMS table and eject. Also when the TDRS is in free flight, after the engine...
I have been trying your updates and want to thank you for all the time you've put into this - great work. I have not been able to get the spin tables to work or the release of the satellites. - I was able to raise and lower the IUS support though.
One thing I noticed was that the RCS didn't...
