OFSS III - Mission & crew schedules + pilot requests.

Number 19 please?

You got it! :thumbup:

{...}might need alittle insight of how everything was done in OFSS I and II and how to do it in OFSS III. (for example, is it all done in real time, what do i need to report, how do i report it)

It's pretty straight forward really. Each time someone complete's their flight, they paste the contents from the (Current state).scn into the "OFSS III - Post Flight Scenarios" thread. I then use that to create the next flights launch scenario and update the package on OHM. I will send you a reminder PM when your flight is coming up as well.

Download the package, create a new Orbiter 2010-P1 installation and install all the required addons. Each time a new flight package is released, extract it into your Orbiter installation and read the enclosed documentation. :tiphat:

So is my flight not for another year and 2 months reality time? or is this simulator time?
(OFSS III doc says 30th Oct 2012 for mission 19)

And thanks for the flight!

 

[Tex]

Simulated time. The launch dates are only used for the scenario.

I'm trying to release each flight package straight away since I've already prepared everything ahead of time. How fast that happens ultimately depends on how long it takes you guys to finish your mission. No need to rush it though, do enjoy the experience.

 

[guitarist473]

Ah, i get it now.

 

[halcyon]

Thanks Tex.
I did mean 15 heh.

Sign me up, I'm looking to start a commercial interest that runs parallel to the missions, so we would be up there installing hotels and ferrying crew back and forth from earth.

Just an observation, flight #11 is slated for Columbia, but doesn't Columbia lack an ODS?

Man-o-man am I rusty with the XR-5... :-(

Hi I'm getting back into orbiter after a long time hiatus. I would love to help with this project. Can you slot me for Flight 17?

 

[Tex]

Pretty tough getting that payload up there eh?

(depending on your fuel config for the XR5 )

:hmm: Not sure myself, Kyle is preparing those flights.

Flt 21 Please. Also, how long will we have between missions?

This has been covered already.
Please read back in the thread.

Actually, that's not correct. Earlier in this thread I posted:

Basically, some of the flight numbers have changed because I had to add a few extra crew rotation flights to ensure an even 6-month rotation.

Hey thanks for a spot on flight 20!
I actually completed mission 2 last night in under 12 hours. Connected the cupola, docked the DOCK1 and also docked the XR5 and circularised the orbit.
Successful yet hard 12 G reentry (survived in the XR5).
I practiced ultrarealism during the RMS construction of the station by deploying a ummu outside to "watch and inspect" the process. Through the eyes only of the EVA I remote controlled the RMS to successfully build the station.

Anyone else do the challenge?
I'm hitting the simulator now for the big 20 flight!!

 

[usmc3891]

I was thinking that if you keep the replays from the flights and send them to me I could make a video history of OFSS III to post on youtube. Anyone interested?

 

[PhantomCruiser]

That's a pretty cool idea. I don't have much of an "eye" for video editing, so I'll send you my playback (or interesting snippets).

Just wondering,will OFSS2 be de-orbited :shrug:?
