ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
If I might add, it is "possible" to use uMMU and the DGIV in Orbiter, as I understand it, it's the new surface on planets that makes uMMUs not usable on the ground, and the HUD that has changed too in Orbiter 2016, so when I use uMMU in Orbiter 2016, it's only in external view.

Been a while since I posted here, here are some of my last flights, enjoy :)
Space Shuttle Vessel
The Shuttle and the MMU

XR-5 Vanguard with Energya
(a very bad idea lol)
Wait, that's...
Yes, in GlideSlopeMFD I choose the Space Shuttle preset to load the ANG, ANT, ALT, then I link them with "GS" as Target in Basesync.
Once it's done, I unlink then by manually choose my target (Edwards in my screenshot) so I can change the ANG manually too in the MFD. That's all I do.
To change...
Hello @PriestLizard, when I deorbit with a Shuttle-like vessel (Buran, Albatross, SSU/SSV, SF, STS2016), I use 1.23 degrees instead of the default 0.78 degrees. I don't remember from where I know that but that's what I use and it always works. I tried it with:
the default Shuttle (manual...
Ah nono, I do not touch the SSV attachment coordinates, it's only on the cargo that I try to edit to place the attach points in the good places so then I try to find the correct PLID for SSV.
It's just I don't know about modding in Orbiter so I first try with baby steps to understand the basics.
Superb, it works like I wanted ! Thanks a lot for your help and time, and explaination gattispilot !
I will try with another payloads next time, I also found in Orbiter.pdf the explaination for the attach points.
Mh basically I'd like to have all payloads from ISSR working with SSV but that's a lot lol.
I was looking at how ShuttleFleet would've attach the payload and they have a "ShuttleBay" vessel that's attached on the Shuttle from ShuttleFleet, then on top of that the payload from in ISSR was...
I'm guessing this is these parameters ? I'll edit the first line as it looks like it's the center of the mesh like in my screenshot above.
EDIT: changing these values or even remove all of them doesn't do anything looks like
Is this something I could edit in the CFG files ? For now it "works", I just have to remember that with the HST it's 180deg.
I have another question too. I'm fiddling with some ISS payloads from ISSR, I found a good PLID to position the payload, however it's lower and 90 degrees sideways, is...
Hi GLS, I'm not sure if this is intended but the end effector grapples the attach point the other way around as you can see here in my screenshot.
This is my custom mission for STS-31 using HST_ex for Hubble as I'm trying to understand the new cargo system (wich is great btw !)
By just selecting the desired feed, we should have something displayed right ? Custom Cameras was already enabled (it doesn't have anything to do with CameraMFD right ?). Because I can rotate the CCTVs alright but no images are displayed on the monitors. Or is there something else to do that I...
Something you might like guys :)
I took a T-38 and escorted the Shuttle but at the end I couldn't follow her even with 100% of thrust, somehow I was losing speed (spoilers retrated, gears up, flaps up... so idk)
Audio is from STS-1, but the testing scenario was with Atlantis lol
Something I tried today for the fun of it.
Lift-off of LGS-0B (series of cutsom-made test missions)
"Houston Amicitia, we have a center engine down over"
"We copy Amicitia, standby"
"Amicitia Houston, Abort ATO, Abort ATO !"
"Amicitia Houston, Main Engine limits to Inhibit"
"Amicitia...
Hooo, another find, I was just clicking stuff even tho I thought it would be blank, but to my surprise !!
tell me it's gonna be functional one day hahaha. SPEC6 too next :D
I noticed there's no texture for the heat tiles during reentry, is it missing or not yet remade for SSV ? I guess if I copy RETAtlantis.dds from SSU won't work right ?
Alright I gave it a try with the AtmosphericWind set to FALSE and this time all went well when I leave the TAEM on AUTO.
And I do appreciate the autoland too haha
