Alpha 100317:
orbides.1gb.ru/orbf/uap-alpha-100317.zip
VC6 build (if above not working): http://orbides.1gb.ru/orbf/uap-alpha-100317-vc6.zip
Changes:
-Fixed multiple orientation mishaps (retrograde, many APs in high-eccentricity orbit, sync, etc)
-Fixed keys again
-Fixed multi-pass align planes thrust leak
-Fixed waiting bug
-Tuned time accel controls to buffer large time accelerations (align, hohmann)
-Integrated UAP into Spaceway
-Added Hohmann autopilot
-Added triggering other vessels to the tools
-Added lift/pitch (main+hover) to lift off AP
Added autopilots:
Hohmann autopilot
Gets you from an orbit of a planet to an orbit of its moon
- engine specifies the engine to use
- target specifies the target moon/planet to go to
- tgt_orbit_alt defines the altitude of the orbit around destination
Scenarios:
-Hohmann-DG KSC to the Moon station - Gets a DG from Earth to a station in lunar orbit.
-Martian chase - one SH-A chases the other to orbit, including all manoeuvres in local space (by mjanicki)
-Mission-SH-A and DG to Luna OB1 - Shuttle A and DG race from Brighton to Luna-OB1 in different trajectories.
-Launch-Many from the Moon - one of the DGs now launches in Slideshow's proposed orientation.
Hohmann transfer, a first interplanetary tool, is the focus of this alpha, along with bug fixes. This AP will only take a ship from a planet to it's Moon, but expanding it towards a full interplanetary flight is a small step.
Waiting is the only problem - launch windows between planets can be years apart. Is it worth making, or better do a parametric transfer one instead?
