sts 3

What happen to Antelope Valley?. I can't find the download

 

[gattispilot]

Redid the cargo for sts 2 and 3. I noticed that they had those yellow/black guides on them

STS-2 DEFI has the guides for the IECM on top

STS3 the pallet had the guides for the PDP, which is attached to the RMS

Confused

In SF if you add the line OMS
STS guidance
"
NOTE This beta version of STS Guidance MFD REQUIRES ENDEAVOUR V2.0
(or other V2.0 shuttles) and will only operate correctly if the line
'OMS' is in the Shuttle section of the scenario file you are flying."

The OMS direction of thrust is:
VECTOR3 THRUSTDIR_OMSL = { 0.10, -0.23, 0.97 }

So as I understand it when OMS is there now the Thrust direct is -.10,0,.99 or is it 0,0,1 so OMS fire along the Z axis?

Does it matter?

We got the STS guidance to work. BUt not sure how it use it.

I keep going back and forth on the GAS (Get Away Special) cylinders. All I have seen is for a size is 5 and 2.5 Cu FT.

This is STS 7. Also I was wrong about the tops. They maybe reflective. But the blue ones are solar panels NOT the earth reflection as I thought earlier.

 

[gattispilot]

I finally found the sizes of the GAS containers:

I am redoing them.
Different op[s though. Some are the white/silver, blue solar, and just metallic (brass/gold/grey?)

Working on the OMS vector thing also.

One thing people asked about was the speed brake and making it adjust to the speed. I tried that and it was bad.

 

[gattispilot]

I added OMS to the sts 1 launch.

At about 10 minutes from launch OMS1 burn to an orbit of 130/57 nm or 240.76/105.564
Weird so I set the orbit for that and it would not take it.

but it take 1055 2407
But the burn took place at 55 minutes

vector for thrust should be at the center of gravity.

Not sure I may just stick to meshes

new SPA1

On the logo of the SPA01. The German flag seems to be offset and something else is there. But I can't tell what it is?

 

[gattispilot]

STS 7

 

[gattispilot]

STS8

With this. we have all 1-9 STS missions.

 

[gattispilot]

With this now all STS 1-9 are redone mesh wise.

STS 8 Eva Cabinet and INSAT sat launch

Thanks to @Gargantua2024 I am using this for the guidance for sts-1
https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/space-transportation-system-2016.39526/post-592912

-30.000 =orbit(104,228,40.30,-1)

STS-1 NON HD

STS-1 HD

Orbiter after MECO

A-104 x p-229

As I understand it. then an OMS burn at 10 minutes should move you to this:

130/57 n. mi. (240.76/150.5km)

at 45 minutes
OMS burn to get you at 130/130 n.mi
(240.76/240.76km)

But using the STS guidance. I tried to input the orbit for 240.76x 1505

 

[gattispilot]

Been looking at STS41b
this was the one We did:

this is the newer version

The big difference is how the things get attached to the shuttle.

Something that maybe nice. Would be a working ADI ball.

In the earlier shuttle an ADI was there. in the latter shuttle it is a MFD

I don't know if it is even possible to made it a MFD and just project an ADI on there?

 

[gattispilot]

Differences.
new

old

I lighten the cockpit. The warning system is just a texture. In the old version it had sorts of warning light. The new one has no warnings. The old the SPi was a texture in the new one it works. Also in the new the gear indicators work,

These are wonderful updates to the project - many thanks! Will you be releasing them anytime soon - would love to try all the improvements. Interested in the TDRS changes you made.

@moonheart Thanks. I can put together a scenario package of the TDRS missions and sts 1-9. Do you want launches in HD and regular. Right now I have orbits scenarios.

 

[moonheart]

Regular launch scens would be great - whatever you've got.

Thanks!

This is the latest zip. It has a couple of scenarios.

Somehow STS-1...9 are not in that zip. As far as I can see...
