Moon and Mars Space Elevators Not Working

I have successfully downloaded the Moon and Mars Space Elevators add-on and it appears in scenarios when I open Orbiter. However, when I run the simulation, it closes and a window appears saying "Terminating after critical error. See Orbiter.log for details."

Here is the log:

---------------------------------------------------------------
>>> ERROR: Scenario parse error for vessel GL-01: base 'SRC - Space Elevator' not found on body 'Moon'.
>>> [Vessel:arseScenarioLine2 | .\Vesselstatus.cpp | 174]
---------------------------------------------------------------
>>> TERMINATING <<<

I have the the Space Research Center spaceports add-on installed as well as Space Elevator by kulch. I use Orbiter 2010 on Windows 8.1. All other scenarios (including Space Elevator by kulch) work fine.

Do you know what the problem is and how I can fix it?

Any help is much appreciated.

Looks like you forgot to modify the Moon and Mars Cfg..

Moon

Before:
; === Surface Bases ===
NumBases = 1
Base1 = Brighton -33.4375 +41.125

After:
; === Surface Bases ===
NumBases = 2
Base1 = Brighton -33.4375 +41.125
Base2 = SRC_Lift +101.60 +0.00
OR copy/paste the RSC Lift file from Earth folder to Moon and Mars

My Question, Is there a difference?

Still doesn't work

The config file already has those changes. I copy-pasted what you posted anyways, but I get the same error message.

Not to sure then, I can only seem to get that error if i fail to do one those things.
; === Configuration file for planet Mars ===
Name = Mars
Module = Mars

; === Surface Bases === ; === Surface Bases ===
---------------------------------------------------------------

i get this with no Bases

>>> ERROR: Scenario parse error for vessel West shuttle: base 'SRC - Space Elevator' not found on body 'Mars'.
>>> [Vessel:arseScenarioLine2 | .\Vesselstatus.cpp | 174]
---------------------------------------------------------------
>>> TERMINATING <<<

adding this to Mars.cfg seems to works just fine

; === Surface Bases === ; === Surface Bases ===
---------------------------------------------------------------
NumBases = 1
Base1 = SRC_Lift +101.60 +0.00

You might be disappointed with this addon due to it being IDENTICAL to the elevator on Earth, I'm thinking they should be a lot shorter

Orbiter performance effects with revised elements?

Not meaning to bump this, but this addon does work with the unchanged geostationary orbital elements. As stated above this does make it a little long. Before I play with revised areostationary orbital elements, has anyone already tried this? What were the effects on performance in Orbiter or with the addon?

Comments from Yuri Kulchitskiy or "James Holt"?
