Question Amso and NASSP

[Interceptor]

Hey Guys I was just wondering about these two Great projects,are they still on going. Or did they die out.and are there any updates coming soon.Thanks

Both are as far as I can tell, very active. The AMSO team just released a major upgrade a few months again, and you can measure the NASSP activity on their sourceforge page.

Yes, both are still VERY active.

There is a ongoing debate about which is the best...both have their own strengths and weaknesses. I leave it to you to decide.

Yeah in my expirience with AMSO and NASSP, it seems the best apollo addon would be one with NASSP's technical advantages (flight computer, functional panels, etc) and AMSO's visuals (Launchpad, VC, particles, lunar landing dust kickup, and EVAs).

Look here for instructions on how to install Project Apollo - NASSP 7 Beta: http://nassp.sf.net/wiki/Installation.
The latest beta is available as a big zip file, too, so you don't need TortoiseCVS: http://nassp.sf.net/wiki/CVS-less_install.

Hey Tschachim. Theres a warning on the big download page, something about if you want the latest bug fixes. You need to download the latest cvs snap shot. Please explain. Thanks http://nassp.sf.net/wiki/Installation

Sorry, I don't understand, which warning are you talking about?

I think he's talking about the fact that you need CVS to actually update NASSP.
"To get the latest version of Project Apollo you don't have to do the initial checkout again but you have to a CVS update."
I'm guessing CVS isn't really necessary for that anymore either, assuming you update the zip often. (although CVS might save time)

Yes, the latest beta is available without CVS, too: http://nassp.sf.net/wiki/CVS-less_install
