Having issues with STS-6.

in the shuttle reflective solar panels

I am using sc3 for the IUS. THE DSP1 uses Vesselbuildeer. BUT I can't the TDRS animations to work in VB.
I have 1stage of IUS, 2nd stage IUS in sc3.

Here the IUS is released.

BUT when I press J to release I get this.

1st stage payload

I am out of ideas. I made a dll IUS1st and 2nd stage. The separation of 1 and 2nd are good. But when I separate the TDRS it is an issue.
Assembly is good:

1st stage sep is good

STAGE = CreateAttachment(true, _V(0.00, 0, 0), _V(0, 1, 0), _V(0, 0, 1), "1ST", false);//1.5 3.7 0.4 0 1 0 0 0 1 TDRS = CreateAttachment(false, _V(.000, 0, 0), _V(0, -1, 0), _V(0, 0, 1), "PAYLOAD", false);//1.5 3.7 0.4 0 1 0 0 0 1


if (key == OAPI_KEY_J) { OBJHANDLE hChild = GetAttachmentStatus(TDRS); DetachChild(TDRS, 0.0); // 0 m/s release if (oapiIsVessel(hChild)) { VESSEL* vChild = oapiGetVesselInterface(hChild); VECTOR3 avel, vel; avel.data[0] = 0; avel.data[1] = 0; avel.data[2] = 0; VESSELSTATUS vs; GetStatus(vs); GlobalRot(_V(0, 0, 2), vel); vs.rvel += vel; vChild->DefSetState(&vs); vChild->SetAngularVel(avel); } return 1; }
With the code above when I sep The IUS moves forward into the tdrs

DetachChild(TDRS, .1);


But with this simple detach code the tdrs just falls down.

 

[gattispilot]

What I can tell is it moves the IUS 2nd stage to 0 point of the mesh of the TDRS.

This might be dead

SC3/4 does work on this. VB doesn't and a dll version doesn't work.

 

[MarkWatney2015]

Might be because the default orientation of the IUS-2 mesh isn't pointed in the Z axis. VB's jettison function creates a new vessel with the mesh pointing in its default orientation, not the given values from VB

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. The TDRS and IUS 2 2nd stage are along the z axis.

VB is the best choice but since I was able to reproduce the DLL TDRS in VB that does work.

If I redo the TDRS attachment to this:
TDRS = CreateAttachment(false, _V(.000, 0, 0), _V(0, 0, 1), _V(0, -1, 0), "PAYLOAD", true);//1.5 3.7 0.4 0 1 0 0 0 1
and redo the TDRS attachment it works.
IUS = CreateAttachment(true, _V(0, 0, -3), _V(0, 0, -1), _V(0, 1,0), "IUS", true);

On the detach it detaches along the direct vector which is now 0,0,1 along the Z axis.

I may see if the sc3/4 version can dio that?

STS-6 .

Raised to 29 degrees

Eva storage cabinet in the corner

Using NOTES MFD you can follow the mission timeline

IUS released

According to the STS 6 timeline.

On the TDRS. I will put a timer in the code so press K to start the solar panels and timer and then when the timer is at the correct time the correct animation begins.

 

[gattispilot]

TDRS-A

Antenna and Solar Panels deployed

Single access antenna deploying. Separated from IUS2 stage

final deployment

Images of sts 64

Not sure what is on the left side behind the LIDAR

You can see on the left side is a specialized RMS attachment to test RCS plumes

 

[gattispilot]

STS 64

 

[gattispilot]

So As I understand. The orbit for Launch needs to be the same and the the user moved the shuttle to the orbit actually used?
rather than set the orbit for the final orbit?

I wish STS guidance worked.

Ericman832, were you able to get it to run

 

[gattispilot]

Oh. Not sure why you had to do that.

 

[gattispilot]

More STS 64.

I made the SPIFEX an VB vessel.

 

[gattispilot]

UUUGGGGHHHH. I just notice a big mistake in the shuttle.

I think the front of the cargo bay texture is backwards. See the yellow thing. On the real one is on the right side of the airlock hatch. While my shuttle it is on the left.
I believe it is a PFR hangar.

 

[gattispilot]

I redid the texture and now we get this. Sts64 EVa

 

[gattispilot]

STS 29.

Not sure if making the orbits correctly.
Here I have the time for IUS deploy as 6:13 from launch. I set the MJD. load TLE scn editor and load and apply the sts 29 TLE data
Apogee, Perigee post-OMS 2: 160 x 160 296.32KM
On orientation. I set it to this:

to match this:

The SHARE rotates outs as does the SPIFEX for sts 69

 

[gattispilot]

sts43 Basically the same payload except 3 GAS can

 

[gattispilot]

Not sure why this is the case:

Like most addons you need some other add on. The shuttle can be free of that. BUT the cargo and launches will need other add'ons.

I can add a generic launch. No extra cargo,......

 

[gattispilot]

sTS 54

ANIMATED

Working on a new zip. It will have sample launches,....

 

[gattispilot]

I am working on a new Zip it will have fictional launches and shuttle at ISS scenarios.

Things I don't know about is the vectored OMS.

But I think about the scenarios from the original sts2016 may need to be a separate add on else how would get them?

 

[gattispilot]

Fixed the talkbalks on the payload doors. Now the correct REL or DPL reads

STS2 pallet. The pallet now has animations.
