OK, I installed Mesh Wizard (with which I have zero familiarity). Where does it give you the mesh offset values?

Thanks for offering to take a look at this. Message sent.

Thanks, gattispilot, for sharing this. I'm still trying to work this out. Here is a related question: How do you accurately determine 'z' values for mesh offset in the [PAYLOAD_x] section of the *.ini file? Off=(xx,yy,zz) I can get both meshes to show up now when I declare them in the same...

UPDATE: I found what I hoped was a solid hint, looking at Vinka's original 'Multistage launcher support' document (from 2005?): Mandatory parameters • MESHNAME : mesh name of payload. It has been found that all payloads must have a different mesh name or Orbiter will crash. You can define up to...

I'm trying to create a payload that itself contains a payload (a geophysical rocket in which the instrument payload has a recoverable data capsule). According to the Multistage 2015 manual, up to five meshes are allowed for any given payload (and, up to 10 payloads are allowed). Can someone...

The newest iteration of the V-5-V Vertikal includes some small refinements - I rebuilt the tail section and added some color to the fin tips (as well as the central control surfaces). I also added the flags that manifested on the payload section, and which reflect a spirit of international...

When I load the Multistage2015 'SH_SLS - Hangar and Crawler TEST' scenario it opens like this in Orbiter 2016: In Orbiter 2024 (using the temporary update provided above) it looks like this: In Orbiter 2024 the pad/crawler assembly is missing.

Thanks for sharing this news. I really enjoy seeing what others are working on, and learn a lot from descriptions of work-in-progress (especially when problems or challenges pop up and solutions are found - or, sometimes, not). Please continue to post updates. cs

I can confirm that SRB separation, staging, and payload deployment all work fine, using the temporary update that you posted above. I have only tested the scenarios included in the Multistage2015 package. Congratulations on vanquishing the CTD that was occurring after SRB separation. I can...

WOW - thanks very much, Michal, for sharing these rare (and to me very valuable) resources. Thanks also for clearly and concisely translating the descriptions - it looks like I need to change some colors. I had already begun modifying the tail end of my model based on the images you posted...

Thanks very much, Piorun, for posting those images. I've been working from 2 line drawings in Peter Alway's book 'Rockets Of The World' (plus one small grainy photograph) and aside from those, up until now have not really had much to go on. There is a nice drawing of the V-5-V with VGAS...

Work on the V-5-V continues. Current state with textures: Hi-Ho, cs

Under other circumstances I would agree with this sentiment, but in this case there was not a real 'solution' to a real 'problem' - and so I'm not sure there is much for anyone else to learn from my mistake. I encountered difficulty simply because I was adding textures to the wrong model (I...

EDIT: Removed earlier post, asking for clarification regarding a 'problem' that was creeping up. I figured out what's happening. Stupid mistake on my part.

Orbiter 2024 has rekindled my enthusiasm for shooting things into the virtual sky. I am (slowly) reclaiming my novice status with regard to using Blender to build a model and (also slowly) re-learning how to use Multistage2015 to get a model off the ground. Here are a few screen captures...

Got it. THANKS for your speedy and helpful reply. The tools you have provided are very wonderful! Peace, cs

I am using Blake's toolset v2.2.0 with Blender v4.3.2. I can successfully BUILD *.msh files and get them into Orbiter (Orbiter2016 and Orbiter2024). However, when I attempt to IMPORT *.msh files I sometimes (not always) get the following error message: line 225 (referenced above) in the...

Section 2 of the Orbiter 2024 User Manual (pages 5-9) is 'What is new.' 2.1 - New features 2.2 - Bug fixes

Testing some models and trying to optimize video/graphics parameters in Orbiter 2024. This is my generic satellite (loosely based on the Project Vanguard plastic model kit produced by the HAWK company in 1958).

Thanks very much for this. I haven't worked through all of the scenarios yet, but what I have tried so far works great. Really good to have this one in Orbiter 2024. Looking forward to doing more with this. Haven't made a safe touchdown yet with the Peregrine, but that's the fault of the...
