OHM DG-Launcher (North America) v1.03

[PhantomCruiser]

Well, I don't know what the deal was, but I can see the main tank now. I'm not certain but there could have been alcohol involved...:blush:

But, I did download version 1.01. It provides a sweet ride all the way to cutoff, a short burp with the DG's mains and I'm in a stable orbit.

I'm seriously tempted to start converting my own Athena's over to velcro just so I can learn how it works (that's why I asked about the Castors, I thought they looked familiar).

Anyway... here's a screenie as I depart KSC.

 

[N_Molson]

Thanks ! Looks like it works as it should !

Some textures were DTX5. I highly suspect they were involved in the "invisible tank" problem. The updated ones are DTX1. Also, they are half smaller

**** Closing simulation session

I still don't get any exausts from the SRB's

 

[N_Molson]

Looks like you don't have SmokeGEN.dll installed in the "Modules\" folder. You also need SmokeGen2.dll & SmokeGen4.dll for the 2 or 4 SRBs configurations. They should be in the .zip file.

I deleted it and had exactly the same log output.

As it's name suggests, that file manages everything related to particle FX

 

[Kevon Daye]

I have all three in my Modules folder (smokegen and 2 and 4).And still nothing.
It's not showing up in the modules tab in launchpad though.

 

[N_Molson]

Well, these are dll-vessels, not dll-modules that show on the launchpad. You have to put them in your scenario (look how it's done in the examples).

 

[Interceptor]

Just wondering, will this work in orbiter 2006 also?Thanks

 

[N_Molson]

The add-on uses Velcro rockets which works very well on O2006.

However, the .dll's are not compatible with O2006, because the API has changed. But, if you delete the "SmokeGEN" entries in the .scn file, you'll be able to use the launcher on O2006, but you won't have the FX.

 

[Interceptor]

can you make it compatible for orbiter 2006,please

 

[Izack]

can you make it compatible for orbiter 2006,please

Why?

 

[Wonderer]

Still no exhaust from the SRB's.Everything you said is in place and i'm using one of the example scenarios.

I've been checking the scenario and the config file out.In the 6 SRB's scenario sg1 config file directory is designated to "velcro\SmokeGen" , shouldn't it be "vessels\velcro\smokegen"? Also in the SmokeGen config file the exhaust tipe is set to LH2 is that right?

 

[N_Molson]

No, the "vessels\" isn't needed. It's the same for all the vessel in the scenario, and in Sputnik's velcro scenarios too.

That part in the config file is useless and can be deleted, it will be fixed in the next releases :

ExhaustType = LH2
MEngineVec = 0 0 1
MEngineRef1 = 1.545 0 -9.5
MEngineRef2 = -1.455 0 -9.5

These parameters can be read only by the Velcro module, and the SmokeGENs have their own modules. Thank you for pointing it.

Concerning your problem, I think that I forgot to include some C++ libraries in the .dll, or something like that. I think that some people use the SDK, and have the libraries already set, it's why that works on their computer. But I may be mistaken, and I'll have to look deeper into this. However, I want to release the third launcher first.

What you can do now is replacing the "LF2" exhaust parameter in the "DG_Launcher_GEM60" config files (2 files) by "KERO". That should display the standard Velcro textures (better than nothing).

 

[Interceptor]

Why?

Because not all addons work for orbiter 2010,and it's nice to have a choice between the two.

 

[N_Molson]

Updated to v1.02 to fix the particle streams issues encountered by some users. Think to click "overwrite all".

[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4703"]DG-Launcher (North America) v1.02[/ame]

 

[Wonderer]

Smoke at last,this one is my favorite launcher

 

[Yoda]

Used the DG -Launcher with the XR-2 Ravenstar,
Neat combo but still no exhaust from the SRB's on lift-off.
How can I fix this ?

 

[Foxtrot1]

I don't have a problem. I just extracted the new version like all other addons. Do you have the new version of the launcher? The previous version had a problem with the exhaust textures.

 

[N_Molson]

I tried the boosters with the XR-Series the other day. Looks like that the nasty gear problem I had is gone. Cool ! Just have to remember to add some specific adapters one day

Yoda, can you post a pic of the booster at launch with the GEM60s still attached ? thx

 

[Lmoy]

For some reason everything is piled together in one spot. The DG-IV is laying on the ground horizontally with the launcher and all its components and stages stuck right in the middle, appearing to stick out of the cargo bay.
The Russian and North American versions are both doing this.

 

[Harv]

I've got the textures, but an Ummu dies using the four-SRB version...
