Hi,
I've been working with the DG4, trying to design procedures for a safe ascent to orbit. By "safe" I mean that the crew should come out alive even if some failure occurs and the ascent must be aborted. They might end up floating in the ocean somewhere, but should be alive.
Toward that end, I've also been forcing failures in the DG4's engines. Right now I'm using OrbConnect, and on a separate Linux box I've got stuff running that waits X seconds, sends the command to the Orbiter PC to set engine thrust to zero, then resends the command once per second (so I can't just turn the engines back on). Crude, but it works.
What I'm wondering is, has anyone developed an addon that causes failures in an Orbiter craft? I'm planning to take this concept further, but if someone else has already done something like this I'll save time and use it (and whatever it is would surely be better than whatever I could come up with). I searched around on Orbit Hangar and didn't find anything but thought I'd ask here. Thanks
Winston
