Add-on by JacquesMomo and Pappy2.

This is the English version.
(French version is available here : http://francophone.dansteph.com/?page=addon&id=187 )

It is the third and the last flight of the Atlas laboratory with a Shuttle (Atlantis). The second main objective of the flight is to deploy from the Cargo bay the SPAS CRISTA platform equipped with a set of telescopes and instruments that must study the Sun and the chemical composition of the upper atmosphere, and do research on long wave ultraviolet, and then to recovered it.

Launch is scheduled on the 3rd of November 1994 at 16:59 TU, from the 39-B PAD at Kennedy Space Center.
The Landing of Atlantis was planned to the Kennedy Space Center. But, due to wind and rain resulting from a tropical storm, it was turned away to Edwards AFB.

Hello everyone,
I trace this position because I have a little problem,
I have a new laptop on which I installed WIN 10,
and I just found out that the textures of the ADDON are no longer visible with D3D9 R15.
(I have created the "symbolic links")

Without any graphical client is visible.
So first question:
- Is anyone else having this problem ?
- With WIN 10 is it a new version of D3D9, and if so which?

My laptop is a:
TOSHIBA "satellite"
AMD E2-1800 APU
Radeon (tm) HD Graphics 1.70 Ghz
64-bit processor
My Orbiter is the 2010 version P1
Help !!!!!

Windows 10

Hi pappy you have time to go back to Windows 8 I tried Windows 10 and found that it slowed down my Orbiter a lot. I wasn't using D3D9 at that time but used restore previous version to return to Windows 8.1
I don't know what it would be in French try recovery to go back to a previous version if you've only changed to windows 10 the right side of the start bar may have a button to go back to windows 8.1

Hello David,
Not possible for me to return to Win 8 :shrug:
The computer is my wife ... she did not agree :lol:

I wonder if this problem is a conflict between Win 10 and D3D9 R15
and that perhaps there is a new version of the graphic D3D9 client. :shrug:

Hello

Er... it's been so long since I've used the Shuttle...
So I don't know anymore.

I just had a look to my (old) orbiter 2010 et I have this :



Maybe change the Shuttle point of attachment ?
or modify the coordinates of the payload attachment point ?

If nobody here gives you the solution, I'll look at it, but right now, with the holidays approaching, I'm spending my free time on my future add-on "Cessna and French Guyana aerodromes"...

So don't hesitate if you can't find something to ask me again.
Else, Pappy2 is very strong for that...
