I'm back to Orbiter after a rather large break (a few years!) and can't wait to try the 2010 version. I have to say though that I am really shocked that I cannot find any real updates to the excellent "Project Mercury" mod. Does the "old" version work in Orbiter 2010? I remember the old version was left uncompleted as the systems were not really modeled with much detail. Has nobody taken over the developement of this project to give us a more detailed version?
So for my Mercury fix I found "A-OK! The Wings Of Mercury" which models the systems with acceptable detail and allows a random failure mode which is really great and lets you practice emergency proceedures. The ECS and electrics can fail and the whole world, as far as recovery zones and comms, is modeled with detail. The physics model, however, is a bit off and the controls have issues. The graphics are a bit old as well.
I wish I could combine the systems and network of "A-ok! The Wings Of Mercury" with the physics, atmosphere, and graphics of "Orbiter" to have my ultimate Mercury sim.
Anyone know of any Mercury developements around here or anyone play A-ok! and what do you think of it?
Cheers!
