SSU installation instructions

[Hectarea]

Good afternoon everyone. I´ve tried to install SSU correctly for orbiter 2016 since it came out, but I still don't get results with the tutorial that exists in this forum. Any soul would like to explain or help me install SSU easily?

Where does the tutorial fail?

Where does the tutorial fail?

Well, I´ve read some thread which says that someone failed in the step of compiling SSU in VS. In the end, the author claims to have fixed the problem by installing Obiter in the SSU folder.
When I downloaded the files with tortoise (in D:/SSU), 3 folders were created: branches, tags and trunk.
I also failed to compile atlantis_2017 in VS, and I tried to move the files from the trunk folder to the folder where Orbiter is installed, now I don't know what is right or what to do.
And also, if I need to install Orbiter in some SSU folder, do I need to replace SSU´s earth.cfg?
send help pls:facepalm:

As I'm the author of that tutorial, I can report that there indeed was an error in it (the SVN URL). I've corrected it to point to the trunk. My suggestion to you is to delete the contents of your SSU folder and repoint to URL svn://orbiter-radio.co.uk/shuttleultra/trunk in the SVN Checkout dialog. This will download the correct files. Then you should be able to build the sources.

As for your other question, yes this is done through the Revert option that is mentioned later in the tutorial post.

As you can see my VS is in spanish. 
the "salida" (output) window shows 0 correct, 16 errors, 0 updates, 1 skipped.

The error list window shows this message: "Error MSB8036.
The Windows SDK version 10.0.15063.0 was not found. Install the required version of the Windows SDK or change the version of the SDK on the project property pages or by right-clicking on the solution and selecting "Redestinate Solution".

Open Visual Studio installer and make sure the Windows SDK 10.0.15063.0 is selected, and install. Then it should compile.

The first image tells me you didn't install the required Windows SDK version, or is this the old error? The second tells me you don't have Orbiter installed in the SSU directory.

It doesn't really matter, but you should go with whichever is the most recent for the Orbiter version you're using.

The installation was successful, but now displays are out of place:

You need to go to the Extra tab, then Instruments and Panels, double-click on MFD parameter configuration. In bottom field select 512x512.

Hi,

is there still a long way until 5.0 release? I was thinking on trying to build a nightly myself but if we are close I prefer to avoid the PITA.

The big item still open are the meshes... how long it will take I can't really tell, but there's still a lot of work to do... :shrug:

I have built the modules for my current SSU installation, but a buddy of mine who I got into orbiter isn’t quite as motivated to do this himself. Is there any existing download for a pre compiled SSU installation.

Not as of this moment. :shrug:
Hopefully the meshes will get finished this century, and we'll start releasing alpha/beta/whatever builds, and soon after the full 5.0 release.

Happy new year to everbody!

I can not find MS Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition on the net.

The provided link (https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/) always leads me to Visual Studio 2019.

VS 2019 looks different from what you describe in the installation tutorial. There is are no "Windows SDK 10.0.15063.0 options" to select.

One other thing: I can not find the video you mention in the tutorial: "Everything has already been set up if you followed the VC++ setup video linked earlier in this thread".

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Many greetings
Rick
