    News Small leak aboard ISS

    Just shoot a wet sealant blind fastener in the pressure hull and call it a day. It would take a -8 dia blind fastener. Easy fix, no hoopla!

    Question Modular Space Station Functions

    GWS Mission requirements... Many of these items are common with ISS, others are my idea of what the next generation Space Station should incorporate. Have fun. Word reader is available at Microsoft.com.

    SSU Development thread (4.0 to 5.0) [DEVELOPMENT HALTED DUE TIME REQUIREMENTS!]

    Only things that will never change, should be hard coded. Everything else is a variable, by definition. However there are limits to to what should be active, and what should terminate but stay resident. You don't have your landing checklist on the HUD at T-5 for liftoff. You guys are doing...

    The OML has changed so much from 5 years ago I can't seem to keep up with NASA's latest PPT, or for that matter, The latest NSF 3D renders. Tuesday is good, this century would be better :-)

    So from what I can read from an .ini file... Docking ports are defined with three sets of coordinates, and they have a unique frequency I would assume that a docking port is anything that will allow UMMU Attachment points are also defined (child?) but they have only attachment enable/disable and...

    News ESA signs contract for "Space Rider" reusable spacecraft

    Too much BUS, not enough vehicle, My guess is this will either be canceled like the rest, or be evolved quickly.

    SSU Questions thread

    How hard would it be to assign 1 GPC per core on multi-core processors, and turn off all but one GPC for low end users? Or would this be better addressed as a memory allocation issue? As for performance, the GPU, or multi GPUs in any system I've used are always the performance LIMFAC. They just...

    Question Orbiter Development Overview?

    I model in 3DS max as well, I'll be facing the same challenges you're asking about here, look forward to any progress you make. Been working on H-10-K Gateway Station for years now, currently in revision 60. See my thread. Never been flown in full up capacity, keep running into limits with...

    Not that you have to make the tool, but if you ever did make it, I would be interested in using it for obvious reasons. Thanks. PS if anyone is wondering why a novice such as my self is still following this thread, it's because I have not given up on GWS, and learning SSU, which is at least...

    I'LL JUST LEAVE THIS HERE... GWS is 4.6 billion( with a B ) polys in orbit, fully assembled, low-res. A frame rate of 2, and a CTD if you press any animation key. I don't know what your dealing with, I can vouch for additive complexity causing major hits in performance. My computer was top of...

    Humor Random Comments Thread

    I hate it with a passion. An old DOD regulation once stated. "No security measures will be implemented that encumber or otherwise prevent the user from effectively and efficiently using the system." But I'm stuck attempting to remember 16 character passwords with impossible phrase...
