I have done this too,

did you do ALL of the directions at the beginning (before launch)

its Imparitive that you do...
otherwise, your free floating in space... :lol:

Well, If you done everything correctly before launch...

did you set the attitude thrusters to rot?

under second pic on the left side of screen, you see csm rot, turn on roll, pitch and rot, and you should be able to move

!!warning, switches are not correct positions!!

 

[Bj]

...and sorry it took so long, my internet is exceedingly slow today...

 

[TheXxBestxX]

thanks for it. let me try. i maybe forget to turn on the rot switch.

 

[TheXxBestxX]

where is the alttitude truster?

 

[Bj]

where is the alttitude truster?

oh, sorry wrong spelling;

attitude thruster

and its the (small)thrusters that make the ship rotate or move side to side, up or down, back and forth

 

[Bj]

You see on my second pic, on the very left bottom corner, one level of switches up and thats the rot thrusters.

 

[TheXxBestxX]

cannot find it bro. can u circle the switch??

 

[Bj]

cannot find it bro. can u circle the switch??

ya sure, hang on a sec though, it will take a min...

 

[Bj]

 

[TheXxBestxX]

is it just that the switch needed to move the CSM?? because i already on that and the CSM still not move..

 

[TheXxBestxX]

bro?? is there any other switch need to set?

 

[Bj]

bro?? is there any other switch need to set?

can you give me a copy of your scenario please? I am confused as to why it wouldnot work, because if you followed all the instructions then that should be the reason, unless im misunderstanding your delema...

what u mean copy? can explain?

 

[Bj]

what u mean copy? can explain?

sure,

Under the orbiterBase folder, (the same folder that has the orbiter.exe)

has scenarios
click scenarios
then comes a list of all the .scn files

find (more than likely under quicksave) the .scn file that you where playing.

then when you open it it should look like this;

BEGIN_DESC

and discover their landing site, Descartes, is not what it seems. April 16 1972

END
END_SHIPS

when you open that file, select everything and copy it (ctrl-c) and come back to the forum. on your reply post click on the little text baloon at the top, under the re-do arrow key, to the left of the # button

and you get something like this
QUOTE /QUOTE

then place that copyed text in that (ctrl-v)

hope that helps

here bro:

ok, ill give this a run tonight. ty

Wrong .scn, I think...

I think that was the wrong .scn, Because when I opened your .scn, it just showed me at the launching pad. If this was your last opened scenario, you could go to 'save' under scenario editer and save it as whatever... or if you have been doing quicksaves all along, then you should have a .scn in a quicksave folder, (with a hudge name like;


emergency mission 0003 0011 0003 0001 0001 0004 0002 0009 0001 0001 0001 0004.scn

:lol:

What would be (possibly) easier, is for you to take a screen shots of your panel there and (if you have a place to store them, like photobucket) you can display them here, or you can just attach to an e-mail, and e-mail them to me,
whatever is easier for you.
