Idea Shuttle Fleet recompile for Orbiter 2016

[gattispilot]

So no need for release key. Makes sense. I will recode it. Might try it in 2010 but may need to add a attachment id?

Here is the STS109 scn with working sts109 payload. G rotates FFSS and n/m rotate the ring. Autoattach to HST

So the payload works in 2010 also. But which hst should we use?
I have a a mesh name hst109. which seems plain.

But yoy need to add an attachment point to bottom of the HSt and it needs an id of SCM

GREAT WORK ! :thumbup: :thumbup:

That's the result for Orbiter2016

 

[Marg]

"That's the result for Orbiter2016" - shadows could be enabled as well to make it even more realistic

 

[gattispilot]

Great and Thanks. Working on a sts125. But I think close to a release then can update this make more scns......

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

So what description should we use for this add on?

 

[Marg]

I just noticed, if there is a need to specify some historic cloud cover\amount during historic launch, Solxxx can be specified pointing to a certain Earthxxxx.cfg. There is (as all of you know) cloud altitude, and - the main thing - cloud rotation period in that file.
It's default value is 2e6, but if you change it to, say 2.0001e6, you will get different conditions (clouds). I had ugly seam during STS-109 launch so I changed 1.99999e6, and it moved away (~50-100km?). Value is sensitive, 1.999e6 or 2.001e6 will give significant difference.

Where is the OBSS?
Anyone tried a scn with it in it?
So here is the HSt. one part of this mission is to attach a docking ring to it.

So how animation do we want. In the orginal it had a lot. covers to open and assist arm moved?

I added the External Airlock from the [ame="https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=7031"]STS-95[/ame] addon

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. But I thought I had it hard coded. So in the scn if you have OBSS it shows it and then you can detach/reattach in the panel.

Also do we want 2 rms different arms. I am using Donamy arm. But for early shuttle it may not be correct

 

[4throck]

I just noticed, if there is a need to specify some historic cloud cover\amount during historic launch....

Don't know if they are online, but I'm sure there are global cloud cover images for every day since the 1970's somewhere....
Just for the sake of discussion, since resolution will be too low for our purposes. But in theory there's data (somewhere) to simulate accurate cloud cover.

 

[gattispilot]

The other thing that might be nice is notation on the screen for which camera? I think i can add that.

On the rms I use my eyesight to align the arm. I guess you are to use the arm end camera. But it clips out when you get to the target.

Not sure if there is a way to graphic display how close/far to the target.

Actually I thought only about cloud cover near KSC I did not mean it globally. Because meteorology is noticable during first minute after launch or so... but it also makes sense.
Back to Shuttle2016 topic...

P.S. I always have CTD when trying to switch to cockpit view (Shuttle2016 in Orbiter 2016) ... maybe there is specific shuttle cockpit .msh I missed?

 

[gattispilot]

Weird. Can you post the log.

I think I am going to try to add on screen notations so in the VC the screen will say RMS elbow,.......

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

So like this:

Still not sure about RMS positioning?


yes this adds the OBSS:

What OBSS in the scn does is add the OBSS holder

So on the rms not sure how to fix the clipping.

Then I attach

So I ran the scn in 2010 and the arm didn't see the CTA

 

[Donamy]

DX9 removes clipping.

 

[gattispilot]

Will I get this in dx9

So for some reason bay lights not coming on. Beacons are seen
I have local light sources check.

fixed the tranlsation so the speed can be changed

But do we need a target or something on screen to aim for the target for rms?

 

[Donamy]

You can disable near clipping in Dx9

 

[gattispilot]

Not sure. is it a setting. Not sure why no lights.

I might relook at the payload camera and see about tilt/pan and rms elbow

 

[Marg]

I also do not have PBlights illuminating anything in shuttle bay, only "lamps" shine. But all other lights are working (LP39A, BJones spotlight etc.).

 

[gattispilot]

I fixed mine. I was running dxd9_flat. Once I switched to dxd9 and reset thing. Selecting local lights.

and selected no clipping.

 

[Donamy]

You should label that RMS EE Camera.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. One change I need to make is on the cameras.

I noticed in Sf that in VC or NOT you see the payload bay. In mine you have to be in VC mode.

I think it is just telling how to see the mesh.

That actually will solve an label issue.

Getting sts125 closer.

So try this out.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hFxb_RHfXugaXnFgm3dThb5XQlYQ-pzG

It is a cfg and dll . The cfg will override the shuttle cfg. So back it up. That way the scn will work with the new dll.

So basically with this you can be in cockpit view and see the views. VC or NOt.

The one thing I liked about it was in the arm the hud is present so you get a canter of reference?

But let me know what you think.

In the old version to see the from the payload camera you had to be in VC mode.

also fixed the translation speed.
