Will do. First, here is a copy of my 'Bare-Bones' Moon-test scenario, which fails to load (but loads fine if I replace 'STATUS Landed Moon' with 'STATUS Landed Earth'). BEGIN_DESC END_DESC BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT System Sol Date MJD 60305.6143359083 END_ENVIRONMENT BEGIN_FOCUS Ship S-IVB...

OK. I tried your suggestion (created a separate sol.cfg [Sol_MoonTest.cfg], and renamed Moon to Moon1) but I still see the same behavior - scenarios that reference 'Moon1' fail to load. I was really hoping to resolve this on my own, and not have to bother anyone else. Although I've been using...

I've been seeking guidance elsewhere in the 'General Questions & Help' sub-forum regarding a problem I have been experiencing with my Multistage2015 vessel. Rather than hashing through it all over again, I'm posting a link to that discussion - hoping someone well-versed with Multistage2015...

Thanks for your continued patience. Here are two more scenarios - absolutely Bare-Bones (no HUD, no MFDs, etc.) this time. The first one loads fine; the second one fails to load at all. The ONLY difference between them is one word - the first (working) one references 'STATUS Landed Earth' and...

The scenario works on Earth, regardless of whether or not a GUIDANCE_FILE reference is included in the scenario. The same scenario fails on the Moon, regardless of whether or not a GUIDANCE_FILE reference is included in the scenario. Removing the -12.000 line makes no difference with respect...

Lunar scenarios including a GUIDANCE reference also failed to load. I took the GUIDANCE reference out, because I wanted to eliminate as many variables as possible that might differentiate a working scenario from a non-working one. When it was in, the reference looked like this: GUIDANCE_FILE...

Hello Urwumpe, Thanks for joining in and helping to think about this. I removed 'STAGE_IGNITION_TIME 0.000' from the scenario and tried again - with no change. The scenario still fails to load. For tricks, I edited that line to 'STAGE_IGNITION_TIME 1.000' (thinking that the original value...

Hello jacquesmomo! Thank you for your speedy reply. Here I will post two scenarios. These represent simple test scenarios - in each there is just one vessel sitting on the moon. The first one, with the Dynetics lunar lander, works fine. The second one, in which my S-IVB craft replaces the...

Hello Citizens, I have created a vessel using Multistage2015 and have been flying it around in Orbiter 2016. Scenarios involving launch from and/or orbit around Earth and Mars work fine. Any (and ALL) scenarios involving the (Earth's) MOON will not work - Orbiter acts as if it is loading the...

This represents my first attempt at creating original content for Orbiter (and learning something about using Blender). I have taken for inspiration an early (1960s) concept design for a modified S-IVB stage that was intended to be recoverable-on-land, implementing a deorbit burn and using a...

This is how the combination appears with the S-IVB stage sized (plus or minus) to scale with the VC: Hi-Ho, cs

Further adventures with the Vulcan Centaur - this time lifting a modified (recoverable?) S-IVB stage. This was a test-of-concept; the S-IVB is not in scale withe the VC. But, this way, it fits nicely on top and snug inside standard fairings. Peace, cs

I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong, but I think the ALPACA is/was (?) a work-in-progress. I creeped my way through this thread and collected the bits as I went - once again the happy beneficiary of others' (gattispilot, Gargantua2024, francisdrake et al.) talent and generosity...

Finally had some free time in which to give the new update a go. Very wonderful! Many thanks for this. What's next?

Ahoy, francisdrake! First, many thanks for conjuring, and sharing, your VulcanCentaur project. I have been having fun, testing various payloads for traffic into orbit. I must confess that my approach has been pretty simple and strictly empirical - rather than exhaustive and systematic...

With Thomas Ruth's Hermes spaceplane: Hi-Ho, cs

francisdrake's Vulcan Centaur serves well for launching Kulch's Deep Star probe. The probe JUST fits inside the payload bay - provided you invoke the long fairing option. Hi-Ho, cs

In addition to the file you have already downloaded and installed, I think you need to install as well the in-sim 'Vessel Builder for Orbiter' project that is available on the first page (link at bottom of first post) here: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/vesselbuilder-for-orbiter.36956/...

For fun, have been playing around with VC variants and alternative payloads - which may or may not be sanctioned by ULA. 1) Kulch's space tug 'DM-2': 2) Kulch's space tug 'Smerch': 3) igel's Molniya-1: Hi-Ho, cs

This one is great fun! After multiple attempts (and fails) I finally achieved stable (if eccentric) orbit in the Dream Chaser using the VC6N variant. Thanks for this. Peace, cs
