Project Space Shuttle Vessel

Hi,

I know this is not the right thread, I installed a fresh Orbiter, and ran into this issue, any ideas what this might be?

Thanks.

I'll comeback later today with more info.

Yep, as I thought it was the mesh flags that I changed, so the interior of the airlock would not be cropped.
Just tried a few combinations of flags and I can't get what I want... I'll revert the changes for the next release, and open a ticket in Orbiter to solve/improve this.

 

[GLS]

I know this is not the right thread

And you still posted...
Anyway, that looks like some missing dll. Lookup "Dependency Walker" on Google, or "code 126" here in OF, as it is not a new issue.

Thank you.

I finally got the deploy sequence to work, so more SPDS images for everybody!!!

Pre-deploy:


Yo motion complete:


Half-way out:



Full deploy:


Still no textures or materials, so lighting is dull, but things are slowly coming together. As it is very visible, I also created a demonstration payload for the SPDS. I tried to make it strange enough, with a touch of HST, to pass it as a spy sat (not that any of us has ever seen one).

 

[Donamy]

That will really help the immersion factor ?

Will the SPDS make SSV "more realistic"? No.
Will it allow users to see something that could have actually happened? Yes!

That is the beauty of this simulation: I can have the vehicle as it flew, but I can also have things that never flew.

 

[Marg]

Maybe at some point SRB's could have a parachute system?

Yes, that is in the list, but it is not high-priority, so it will probably only happen when the ascent get reworked.

 

[GLS]

Added some color to DemoSat2, so it looks a bit more HST:

 

[DaveS]

Are the PLx ouputs of the CCTV system operational? And if they are, how I can assign them to certain payloads? I need PL1 and PL2 for some missions.

Yeah, thats what was the idea behind SSU. Like doing missions that never happened, like assembling Freedom, flying to the moon or rescueing Skylab. Or "pimping" the Shuttle with all the toys, that the red tape prevented, like electric APUs or improved SSMEs. And of course, maybe also have the CAU avionics, that never happened on the shuttle and essentially now fly on Orion.

It wasn't red tape that got those upgrades, but rather the Columbia accident. With the decision to retire the shuttle 2010 and many of the upgrades being several years away at that point, it was decided to just cancel the Shuttle Upgrades Project altogether. Atlantis was due to retire in 2008 due to the requirement of needing an OMDP by then (her last OMDP ended in 2000 and the requirement was every 5.5 years or 8 flights whichever came first. And Atlantis's OMDP clock was up in 2005. Flightwise she was up to 6 when Columbia was lost in 2003.

So they decided to issue a waiver to the OV-104 OMDP requirement by performing it in smaller chunks inbetween flights. Next orbiter up after Atlantis was Discovery with her OMDP clock ending in 2009 (last OMDP ended in 2004) and then Endeavour in 2011 (OMDP ended in 2006). This is why NASA decided to use Columbia as Discovery was out due to ongoing OMDP, for STS-118 despite her heavier mass. Light payload (S5 ITS, ICC and SpaceHAB Single Logistics Module).

Still no reason to not allow it in the sim. The airframe might have been closer to a prototype, but there is still some room for growth and improvements left.

For now only 1 keel camera is possible (fixed on PL1)... the CCTV system got very complex along the way, with all the extra inputs, DTV, recorders and displays, so at some point I just had to say "enough", and the result is just the basics. I'll eventually revisit the CCTV, as I'd like to have the OBSS camera as well (with RMS auto sequences for the TPS inspection).

CAU is definitively interesting, but I have my plate full already with the MEDS.
Next on the "never happened" category I have the OMS kit, and then it should be the starboard RMS.

Another thing: You might want to speed up the motor drive times for the PLB radiator latches and radiators themselves. They're a bit slow right now compared to the real ones as noted by STS-1 PLT Bob Crippen in the STS-1 Post-Insertion FDF as shown in the attached screenshot:

Testing the SSV with the very detailed @hutchison66 platform:

LC39A+B for ShuttleFLeet HD

Hi Orbinauts, this is the most complex Addon I've every done and is months of work. I've tried to make this as accurate as possible with out going too far. I still recommend you use with D3D9 Graphics Client or a very fast computer, or both...

www.orbiter-forum.com

Needs a bit of tweaking, but it looks great. The MLP is the SSV one, as I can't apparently attach the SSV to the other MLP

I don't think the GOX and Crew arms will retract automatically before launch, so probably will need to be done manually, all animations works great, they take quite some time (The RSS complex rotation takes about 10 minutes)

Looking nice, the night lighting is better on the original SSV LC39 though:

Hey Geoair, long time no see !

STS-36

You can start building a second version, this time without the GF, because you won't need it when the SPDS is ready.
