The constellation program is kinda running. I am redoing the dlls so they will working 2016. Basically just removing the UCGO and Ummu.
There is something wrong in the cfg of the sol and earth and moon.

Q: Do we have a list of lunar landers that work with Orbiter 2016? I'd really like to be able to land a LEM on the Moon.

I just wanted to mention, that the MAV-05 is Orbiter 2016 compatible, including correct terrain recognition. For lunar landings include the keyword LUNAR in the scenario file.
This omits the HIAD heat shield and reduces the fuel of the ascent stage. With this reduced weight the MAV can make a purely propulsive landing on the Moon.

Thanks. I placed the MAV at Brighton. It looks a little too high.

I lifted up a little and set back down ok. Then lifted up and set down too hard:

Has any tried Velcro in 2016? I get a angle ship rather than straight up.

Yes, I do have a problem with visual clipping of the feet in terrain. My ususal test area is the Gale crater on Mars. There the feet need to be slightly above ground, otherwise their lower parts gets visually clipped off. This leads to the vessel seeming to hover above ground, when landed on a landing pad. I am not quite sure how to handle that.

Currently the feet are quite soft (low spring stiffness). This causes the vessel to make a dip when landed too hard and jumping high, which usually leads to tipping over. It is not so easy to find good values for the new touchdown points (friction, spring and damping values). Maybe someone could provide a good working example?

One I am testing is :
[ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3062"]http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3062[/ame]

This seems good.
this one not so good:
http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3177

I redid the scenario and got all to work but the Centrifuge. So this line that the base is attached to the Centrifuge is the issue.

Only.dll vessels crash when you select F1 view. All my A2Z stuff is SC3, which doesn't. I'll be posting a recompiled SSRMSD.dll compiled in 2016 build, by GLS (thank you)So the cameras will work. I don't have access to the JEMRMS code, so that cannot be recompiled.

Moonbase Alpha seems to work. Except fur the Ummu part. Eagles all work. But the crater that the base sits in needs flatten.
