Quite a few ships require the UCGO and Ummu but not these aren't updated for 2016. any idea how far off this is?

I'm not talking about latest OrbiterSound 4.0, even though it has a CTD with Radio MFD. :facepalm:
I'm talking about outdated OrbiterSound 3.5, although I've tested this with D3D7 only. I shall test this in D3D9 soon...

Baikonur LC1/5 addon works now completely! Just replace the Module from the blc1arms.cfg into Module = blc1arms_pylon

Every .SCN file with R-7 (Soyuz) launches should then be:

BEGIN_SHIPS
blc1arms:blc1arms
STATUS Landed Earth
POS 63.3421050 45.9202070
HEADING 90.00
ALT 20.000
AROT 45.123 72.250 86.153
AFCMODE 7
PRPLEVEL 0:1.000000
THLEVEL 0:1.000000 1:1.000000 2:1.000000 3:1.000000 4:1.000000 5:1.000000
NAVFREQ 0 0
ARMS 0 0.0000
ROT 0 0.0000
TWR 0 0.0000
UMB 0 0.0000
END
END_SHIPS

The "standard" version of the Cygnus spacecraft from Donamy's [ame="https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6660"]Antares/Cygnus update[/ame] works perfectly

---------- Post added 07-16-19 at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was 07-15-19 at 03:48 PM ----------

Satellites from thorton's [ame="https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3209"]Proton Launch Vehicle v2.2[/ame], from AsiaSat-3, Express, and Uragan-M also work without problems

The Proton launcher itself there bugs, however

I think such a post is necessary, but ideally it should be curated by 1 active person with admin rights, so that the OP stays up-to-date, because reading 17 pages of posts is too complex. We need a summary.

Edit : and if the active person gets busy by real-life (or hit by a PSB), it should be able to pass the torch to someone else and so on...

Would also be helpful if the download page for each add-on at O-H or wherever they are had a notation for which build they will work and what it needs to work. Many of them you have no idea which build they work in unless you try them out.

I think that issue has been raised before and of course you are right, it is imperative that add-on devs mention the Orbiter version in the addon title. Else its a mess, entropy is not limited to the physical world, it also works very well on information systems.

Like "Long March 5 LV (2016)" or "HelloMFD (2016 beta)"

Version was part of the upload process (a dropdown) until recently, but now it's gone. I wonder if it's temporary.
We used to be able to search by version, type of addon, etc. So that information exists somewhere.
I wonder if help is needed to restore OH to full functionality....

I also notice that if I use the searchbar for something I get a few kabillion returns that are totally disrelated to what I’m looking for.

Edit: But that’s typical search engine. Google and DuckDuckGo tend to do the same thing. I think they teach that in searchEngine101.
