Project UCSO development thread

[Abdullah Radwan]

Universal Cargo System for Orbiter (UCSO) is a free, open-source cargo management system for the Orbiter space simulator. It’s designed to be an Orbiter 2016 alternative of UCGO. It provides a rich API for add-on developers to support UCSO in their creations.

All contributions are appreciated.

It may be easier to set the relative velocity via the VESSELSTATUS struct, if DetachChild isn't working as it should - if you're accepting pull requests I'm happy to contribute the code

I *think* I've done that correctly, I'm too used to my own git hosting :lol: here it is pull request

Alpha 2 released. Special thanks to Woo482.

Alpha 3 released. Changes can be found in CHANGELOG.md file.

I still need meshes, textures, and ground release code.

Don't have time for in-depht testing, but that would be awesome for my current project. :thumbup:

Alpha 4 released. Comes with ground release code, updated touchdown points, a static cargo example, and an updated mesh.

 

[Abdullah Radwan]

Alpha 5 released. SDK is renamed to API.
Comes with a much smarter ground release algorithm, a manual, and an API walkthrough.

Going to give it a try. Any thoughts of cargo like in UCGO a crate can have several items so you can pack/unpack

Alpha 6 will support this.

 

[Abdullah Radwan]

Alpha 6 released. Comes with packable cargoes and new cargo containers.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I didn't see a solution to get to try it though.

 

[Abdullah Radwan]

If you want to try it, download the latest release from GitHub, and the latest ShuttlePB UCSO release, and install them like any Orbiter add-on.

To download, open 'Assets' and download 'UCSO.zip' and 'ShuttlePB_UCSO.zip'.

 

[gattispilot]

Got it. NIce!!

 

[Abdullah Radwan]

What do you think?

I didn't get any feedback since I started the development. I need feedback from both users and vessel authors to improve UCSO!

I like this development, and I want this add-on to be compatible with the XR fleet and the OMMU.

I really hope that too, when the stable release is out.

 

[Abdullah Radwan]

Alpha 7 released. Comes with flags and rewritten API interface.

The lamp cargo isn't added, and won't be added until a stable solution to light the ground is found.

 

[Abdullah Radwan]

The first stable release of UCSO is coming sooner than ever...

Stay tuned!
