SSU public release comments/bug reports

[SiameseCat]

It's a coordinate system change; the VGO values are in the shuttle orbiter body-frame coordinate system, while the DV targets are in the LVLH frame.

Can someone repost or link the SSU attachment diagram. I can't find it for the life of me.

Thanks

Here it is:

Maybe it should also get uploaded to the Wiki... BTW, who feels responsible for getting a SF support ticket for porting the wiki to MediaWiki? The old wiki software we use is no longer supported.

Thanks for reposting it Urwumpe.

It's me again with a scenario problem. I've put together an STS-123 de-orbit scenario. I've run through the De-orbit/Entry checklist, started one APU (even tried with one HYD CIRC PUMP on and with all off) and ARM/PRESS both OMS engines. The shuttle rotates to de-orbit burn attitude but I don't get an OMS firing when MM302 count reaches zero.

Here's the scenario. As always, any help appreciated.

The scenario doesn't specify a WT value for the shuttle, so it's assumed to be 0 (which in turn leads to a burntime of 0 seconds). You should add the line

WT 217257.014

to the scenario; this should fix the problem.

SSU 1.25 Installation problems

Hello everybody,I have some problems with SSU 1.25.
1. How can i install it correctly? When i install it with High-Res KSC and Vinka's Spacecraft3.dll, i cannot load any Space Shuttle Ultra scenario.
2.When i install it with shuttle fleet (I have installed Shuttle Fleet V4.2 ISS Fleet V2.1.0 NASA Aircraft Fleet V4.0.1 The Node Module by Well The Columbus Module by No Matter The ATV by Well and No Matter and STSExpPackV4.2R0KS ) i can load the scenario,but RMS possition and OBS possition go wrong .

 

[Donamy]

SSU 1.25 is not compatable with the Fleet. You should use them in two different Orbiter folders.

I don't know about the validity of that statement. I have both the Shuttle Fleet v4.2.0 and SSU latest beta installed with no issues to either one.

Maybe it's just my installation that's a bit off the standard config.

 

[Donamy]

I'm just trying to save him alot of aggravation. []

Well, he do have STS Expansion Pack installed and that will not play nice with SSU as it overwrites the original Earth.cfg which will render the SSU scenarios null and void.

 

[BenSisko]

Thanks SC. I'm in awe of the sophistication of the CRT/DAP!

I've got another question. Does MM304 work? Adding the shuttle weight did the trick with my scenario. After the burn I fired up the remaining APU's, typed in OPS 304 PRO and got a blank MDU screen.

 

[SiameseCat]

At the moment, all MM 304 does is disable the DAP and use standard Orbiter control modes to control the shuttle. This is done to prevent thruster firings during final approach and to allow autopilots like AFCS to be used.

shuttle RMS and OBS problems

Look on sceenshot ,RMS and OBS position go wrong .How do I amend？PS: I only install it with Hi-res KSC and Vinka's Spacecraft3.dll in a clean orbiter folder.

 

[Donamy]

One way is, to stow the RMS and OBSS from panel A8, then save the scenario.

SSU Bug
Recently i have found out some problems with SSU. For example ,I press ctrl+s
to save scenario but it always crash. Sometimes the shuttle disappear in the space.What's wrong with my SSU?
Another question:When SSU development will finish?

 

[Urwumpe]

Another question:When SSU development will finish?

It is finished, when it is finished.

 

[slavek]

hi, there is any link to the scenario for adding TSA to the shuttle?

 

[andysim]

Ok so I instal the High res KSC file as required in the readme that came with SSU and the SSU itself and added the lines

To base.cfg
CONCRETE_014
CONCRETE_015
CONCRETE_016
B
C
G
H
O

and to earth.cfg
Shannon: -8.904527 +52.699753
Gander: -54.575441 +48.946682
EFD: -95.169398 29.609046
Banjul: -16.650841 13.338888

And this is on a fresh install of Orbiter with only orbiter sound installed and enabled also CRT mod is enabled. My problem is I cannot launch with the historical missions STS120 and 126 as orbiter just crashes. I use the mission thats already on orbit and it works fine so Im not sure what I missed.

I could really use some help as I would love to be able to do a mission from launch to landing as I find the shuttle fleet a bit limited coming from SSM2007 lol.


Thanks in advace.

PS ive installed spacecraft3 module.

I cant see any errors in the crash log it ends in

EVENT_TIMER0 540.000000 DOWN STOPPED
EVENT_TIMER1 0.000000 DOWN STOPPED

Ive no idea if this is normal or part of my problem.
