I've converted the scenarios to use Skylab1973, added the flight director from Velcro Rockets, fixed a few bugs and isms, and added a couple scenarios. Another major change: uses, for the first time, my "Generic EVA" code. (Thanks to Urwumpe for the base code and a lot of help). Generic...

I was waiting for the Orbithangar RSS feed to post, but it's been a day and hasn't happened yet...I guess it's having trouble. Possibly the largest conventionally-powered launch vehicle ever seriously considered, NEXUS was a post-Saturn launch vehicle proposed for launching manned Mars...

Feel free to discuss (or quest about) various Velcro subjects, techniques, or projects.

I know, I know...I really need to get back to this add-on. The Mars ships are mostly done, by Missleman01; I've been accurizing, texturing, and in some cases converting them to the 1952 Magazine version, as there were significant differences from the book version. Another holdup has been...

Wherein we can discuss the World of 2001 add-on by 80mileshigh and myself. For those who are unaware, 80mileshigh maintains the World of 2001 website at http://www.worldof2001.com

Welcome aboard! The folks at O-F have kindly set up this way of keeping in touch, and I thought I'd give it a try. Specifically, I was thinking this would be a better feedback mechanism for bug reports, etc. A few words about me: I do meshing and coding, of course, which means most of my...

I'm trying to make use of the DeltaGlider's function adding a text name to the vessel texture. But, unfortunately, I didn't make my textures work nicely, reading left-to-right and so on. I'm sure there's an easy way to fix this, but it doesn't seem possible to use TextOut to add text at an...

At Orbithangar: NOTSNIK v1.01 (Velcro) NOTSNIK (more correctly called Project Pilot) was a 1958 attempt by the Navy Ordnance Test Station (or NOTS) to air-launch a super-simple satellite on a super-simple rocket. The rocket is a collection of unguided solid rocket motors. (NOTS built them; it...

Now available at Orbithangar: Velcro Saturns v1.11 Velcro Saturns is a collection of Saturn rockets, real and imaginary. There are "real-world" scenarios representing early (pre-Saturn-Ib) launches. Also included are the Saturn A-1, B-1, C-2 and C-3, and post-Saturn studies like the...

Now at Orbithangar: Velcro Rockets v1.1 At long last, we'll try a release of Velcro Rockets. Velcro Rockets came about from an effort to design a "generic" CVEL stage, one that takes its parameters from a .cfg file. You could, for example, build a Centaur-D or Saturn-IVb as a...
