Project SSU HI RES Textures
- Thread starter Wolf
- Start date
Those have been fixed. I have no idea what's going on with the nosecap. Even Donamy's fixed version shows the same issue whenever I remap it to the original texture location.
Some other new small issues I noticed
There is a line that cuts and splits the RCS nozzles

View attachment 15846
The black HRSI in between the OMS pods have now 2 rectangular grey portions areas left and right of the rudder insertion
View attachment 15847
The left main landing gear door seems displaced: there is a gap where you can see through
View attachment 15848
the other gear door seems to be uneffected

Question for the team and SSU users on the rudder textures
I have added a "seam pattern" that reflects the one showed on the default SSU textures. Looking at the Orbiter rudder pictures though I can't see this pattern (the tiles seams are all even). IMHO the effect is cool but maybe not that realistic
This is how it looks

Pro or versus?

Except for the OMS pods, everything is looking good here. I have checked in a version that has the grey areas fixed.
What is the revision of your Orbiter.msh? You can check this by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties from the context menu and then going to the Subversion tab. WC Revision should say 2849. Same for last changed revision.
2849 recompiled, gear door issue fixed. This is the situation now:
RCS nozzles still show this

There is a cut in the textures right behind the nose cap

Sharp edges on the sides of the belly

These issues should now be a thing of the past. Revision 2850 this time.
2850 new issues
BELLY-WINGS
the elevons HRSI contours and the RCC/HRSI at the wingtip are displaced. Also the belly show a diagonal line of deformed tiles (from the wingtip going inward and up)
the nose gear door lower seam has an issue and ET attachment plate is now cut and separated in two
Both wingtips HRSI show a white LRSI section
RCC on both wings are displaced and there is a gap where you can see through the Orbiter structure
The starboard outer elevon trailing edge HRSI "jigsaw pattern" shows now this sort of duplication. Also its inner black tiles contour in the fixed wing section is now missing
The View attachment 15863
FRCS starboard side nozzles are displaced
Finally something I noticed before rev 2850 but still there: a hump on the upper nose section. Don't know if it has always been there

(sorry for the potential off-topic)
I noticed that the nose gear doors are not as they should: in reality one is larger than the other. Shouldn't this be corrected now, so that in the future things don't have to be changed again?

This is for 4.2??? So why are changes being made on the mesh in the trunk? :idk: :idk: :idk:
Thanks, much better now. There are still a few minor issues but I think it is maybe better to leave the mesh as they are for the moment
I found out that Challenger on her first mission (STS-6) had the fwd section of the OMS pods equipped with AFRSI instead of LRSI tiles
AFAIK in the subsequent mission STS-7 they went back to the LRSI.
Was STS-6 the only time when Challenger had such a configuration and why was the AFRSI dropped (maybe thermal issues or blankets wear?). I know they had some TPS problems right in the OMS POD area (you can see from the picture aswell). Maybe that's the reason why?

Yes, STS-6 was the only time OMS pods that used AFRSI on the front faces. The reason why the went back was that they after some more wind tunnel testing found that the AFRSI couldn't withstand the vortices that was generated by the wings. So after some more wind tunnel testing they came up with the HRSI "eyeballs" configuration. For next few flights while her own OMS pods was being reconfigured, Challenger used Columbia's OMS pods while she was being modified to support STS-9.
Is anyone in posses of some pictures of the upper side of the early Columbia or Challenger OMS PODS?
I'd like to repaint them for SSU but I am only able to reproduce the lower side (only pic available is shot from bottom towards the top)
Thanks
