I guess my two cents on the sound issue is that I spent extra time on my Cygnus launch add-on to add the custom launch sounds, which I pulled from real mission audio. (This was back in 2015 for Orbiter 2010). I have not upgraded to the newer version of Multistage 2015 in my Orbiter 2010 install because I prefer to keep the launch sounds.
Edit:
I don't mean to guilt trip, but to point out that it is a worthwhile feature.
You got me guys, I'll pause the space network and next thing in pipeline is now orbiter sound for ms2015... hopefully it will be this week
Jacques I've downloaded everything and I'm working on it.
I just noted that you added basically the entire multistage2015 addon to your pack. Even though it's not a problem, I suggest to keep it separate from your addon and recommend its download from OH, so users will always get the newest version available (first example will be orbiter sound support).
She launches better but then the engines shut off in space.
It's a bit vague... :crystalball2:
maybe fuel's over, maybe orbit's reached, maybe battery's finished? :crystalball:

Jacques, you'll be happy to hear that I think I made it :thumbup:
Let's see if it works for you as well.
First of all congrats for the wonderful addon!!!!!!!
Then to the procedure:
1) remove the attachment point from the ariane4.cfg, since we won't need it anymore and it can cause issues with the regular procedures.
Let's just keep the attachment infos somewhere (anyway I'll paste them here below)
2) Go to Config/Vessels folder, find "EmptyModule.cfg" and make a copy of it, name it as you wish, I called it "KorouGhost.cfg"
3) In KorouGhost.cfg write the following:
Code:
ClassName=KorouGhost
Module=EmptyModule
BEGIN_ATTACHMENT
P 0 0 50.5 0 0 1 0 1 0 XS
END_ATTACHMENT
4) go to your rocket ini file, should be Config\Kourou_Rockets\Ariane44L-JM.ini and add the Pad_Module info in the misc section:
Code:
[MISC]
COG=-11
FOCUS=-1
gnc_debug=1
[B]Pad_Module=KorouGhost[/B]
5) now edit your test scenario and take out the "Attached" line in the Ariane section. Change also the configuration from 1 to 0! Save it and then run it but just for a moment, then just save it/close it. The various multistage modules around will have created the relevant ghost launchpads.
Find in the saved scenario the GhostKorou Section and add the attached line you removed from the ariane4, here's what it should look like:
Code:
MS_LaunchPad_Ariane4:KorouGhost

END
6) still in the scenario reset the spacecraft animations, to me the final file looks like this

That's it, if you run it it should work. you can stop the crawler wherever you want, jump into the rocket, press p, or run it through the MFD and enjoy the ride to orbit!
Here's a small video I made to show a bit of it, again congrats for the addon!
feel free to ask anything is not completely clear!
I Have one question (and one suggestion) :
