Spacecraft3.dll tutorials

[8bitgamer13]

Hi, are there any good beginner tutorials for making vessels with Vinka's Spacecraft3.dll? Thanks!

Do you want to create meshes and stuff or is it just the coding part?

For the coding part, you can take a look at other add-ons as a source of reference (since the configurations are files that can be opened with any text editor).
It is also good to read the documentation since a lot is also covered there.

For creating meshes, I suggest to start with ar81's great tutorials. The first part is: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2729"]Anim8or tutorial: How to model a plane[/ame]

And, last but not least, if you're going to develop add-ons with Vinka's modules, you probably want to use Spacecraft4

Or even wait until vinka releases the 2016 version, because SC4 is not fully compatible with it.

The tutorials are Vinka's PDF documentation and the test scenarios.

Just take whatever scenario is closer to what you want to do, copy it and start doing changes, looking at the PDF for reference.

As for compatibility between versions, you can use a SC3 configuration with SC4, no problem.
Regarding Orbiter 2016, SC4 runs well, at least for simpler ships.

Definitely learn SC4, then it will be easier to apply that knowledge to SC5.
