Mid-Deck development

[gawinnard]

Sorry I've been away, loads of new tasks in my new job, which I'm happy doing +50hr a week in this job then 30hrs in my old one

I like both Sims and want to enjoy the middeck in both. And yes, there are differences between the two, but only from a 'techincal' point. Also there have been problem importing it to SSM2007 (out of my hands).

I've started to create a high poly for SSU, I've also started to work on the internal airlock and the interior of the ODS for 'transfer' to the ISSU I've also started to look at the varing Middeck Configs that come with each shuttle (columbia having the biggest difference), differences in each mission and the upgrades made over the years. And finally I'll be adding the Equipment used in the middeck, e.g. excerise cycle, and a workable 'diner' table

A workable diner table ! When do we eat.

...at 7am, 12pm and 7pm. If you're lucky a treat at bedtime

going OT... I bought from Kennedy Space Center some space meals, not bad, would have them as meal at work eat them if they were cheaper

back on topic...

for item like the exercise cycle and SWUIS telescope would these be animation to use them (like landing gear), or use them like craft and dock them into position?

The cycle could be made assembled by animations.

But I think the lack of astronauts will make it rather look like a horror movie...

By personal preference, I would prefer being able to exchange the LiOH canisters.

And opening hatches !

And opening hatches !

The Side Hatch window cover, that need to be animated as well as the rest of the Side hatch. One thing I'm missing is the other side of the airlock hatch (as seen from the ODS). I'm 100% on the Canister replacement.

As another request, could we also have the "Trampoline" (Emergency Egress Net) in the Mid Deck as option during launch? It is rolled up to the ceiling during the post insertion activities, and covers the gap where the internal airlock was.
