Revised launch scenarios for STS-107 and STS-114 have now been checked in. The loads should now be accurate.

The launch scenarios for STS-1, STS-120 and STS-126 now also sports accurate propellant loads for OMS/ARCS/FRCS.

DaveS: About the textures in the Centaur branch, had these been modified for the T-0 umbilicals?

I just work on updating the Centaur branch with the latest changes from the trunk and have to check which modifications in Centaur are meant to persist.

If you are talking about the T0 umbilicals on the orbiter, then there's nothing to keep. All the relevant mods are in the mission kit mesh file.

OK, so I can overwrite everything conflicted with the latest versions from the trunk?

Yes, everything but the Centaur scenarios as I think the ones in the branch has more accurate data than the ones in the trunk.

OK, will be done When this is done, I can take the notebook with me for some extra coding hours during the saturday.

OK, STS-61G seems to work, just the Ku-band antenna is still not deployed... will commit the merged version now.

For the centaur Branch: Do we have a Galileo mesh that we can use in SSU as proper stand-in? The Carina looks a bit misplaced.

No.

 

[Urwumpe]

Can't commit, there is a bug in the sourceforge server it seems, regarding large files. Orbiter.msh results in Problems during the transaction.

No, we don't have Galileo or any other probe (I added the SSUGenericPayload, a.k.a. Carina, so we had a payload on the Centaur and we could test/showcase it). The Galileo addons out there, that I know of, all have the shades that were added to allow it to be launched by the IUS towards Venus, so we "can't" even use any of them.
IMHO, I think we should devote ourselves to developing the shuttle, with all its capabilities and "extras", and leave the payloads for other people. We should start advertising SSU to get users to create payloads for us. :lol:

Hopefully this isn't too agressive :rofl:

 

[Urwumpe]

Make sure you use "svn+ssh" as protocol for Subversion, the https: access to Sourceforge seems to be broken for large files and the "svn+ssh" connection is also way faster.

 

[SiameseCat]

I've updated the SSU manual to include the MEDS displays and images of the displays.

Revision 2104 doesn't compile:
atlantis.cpp(6142): error C2065: 'GRP_DEA_MOUNT_KU' : undeclared identifier

I forgot to check in the updated meshres files for the orbiter and Ku band DA. Try it now and it should build just fine.

Guys, don't mean to bother you but I just noticed no one has popped up in this thread since more than a month now..
Is this project on stand by or did NASA cut its funds for SSU? (starting to get worried :hmm

Most of us are just too busy to work on SSU.

I am just sick with the [ame="http://bar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oachkatzl"]Oachkatzl [/ame]flu right now and a bit too crazy for coding something that would not make Lovecraft proud.

:facepalm:

SSU !! What's that ?

 

[Urwumpe]

SSU !! What's that ?

The Scrub Simulation Unit. It allows you to renact the emotional terror of the Space Shuttle Program.

 

[GLS]

I'm finishing the "class part" of the semester, and about to start the "exam part".
Just over a month to go before I get back and start work on the mission planner/creator/whatever the name is...

I posted a Galileo probe a couple of months ago that I put on your original Centaur it worked fine, but I don't know what you mean by the wrong shader for SSU ? Mine is fully animated and a bit more accurate than the other ones in OH it also has deployable probe with heat shield and top cover
