OHM Vostok

[igel]

No . We have our hands (and feet and other body parts) more than full just with the Russian program!

 

[astronut220]

Could you make the R-9 which was in the Vostok 2 scenario? Seen it on wikipedia, looks good.

 

[Wishbone]

Success breeds new requests, it seems Of course, your team has earned this string of successes by hard work and meticulous research! Thank you, and you deserve some rest and quality time with your families. Bravo!

 

[igel]

I'd dream to make R-9, she is my favourite ICBM by far. But the priorities... I just don't know when/if I get around to her...

I'd dream to make R-9, she is my favourite ICBM by far. But the priorities... I just don't know when/if I get around to her...

I can really understand it, the R-9 is a nice design... but my heart belongs to the Soviet/Russian SLBMs in that context, it is really impressive how far the engineers had been willed to go to pack as much payload and fuel into a submarine.

And the Russian Ramjet cruise missiles had been the main inspiration for my ARCM. :lol:

PS: Good work always results in more work. I would be very annoyed if I released an add-on and nobody asks for improvements.

 

[igel]

In my development pattern so far, I was able to get away with not re-releasing the older addons. The improvements do develop and accumulate, at good pace - but they always get only into the newest/latest addon.

Maybe time has come to change this and to look retrospectively at the past developments... some of them start showing their age. That's one of the possible directions - but taking this road will inevitably delay the releases of the next "brand new" developments... Compromises everywhere!

Maravilloso, maestros. Simplemente maravilloso.

Thx for addon!

Vostok and CTD

I have waited so long for this addon - in fact years - I have been a huge fan of Yuri Gagarin from the beginning
This work is simply outstanding
the trouble I have is...
everything works fine on his flight until I get to about 418 s int the flight and over eastern Russia and the program crashes to desk top
This happens both in the 2006 and the 2010 orbiter versions
any help gratefully accepted

 

[igel]

OK, here it comes, the first bug report... Surprised to see it lasted for so long without any!

- does it also happen in unmanned flights?
- does it happen in external/internal view?
- do you have B3OP module activated? Does it happen with/without it?

There may be some more permutations... And I away from Orbiter currently, and don't remember what exactly happens around 418 s. Probably nothing special...

Same here.

All of above.

Just in case... can you try it with OrbiterSound disabled? I had one stubborn problem with it that I eventually "bypassed", so I'd like to rule this one out first...

I would say it is due to the fact you have too many addons installed. Try on a clean install.

 

[igel]

Yes, this is one of the primary troubleshooting recommendations - to try it on the same machine but in a separate clean new Orbiter, without other addons installed. Some addons are very sophisticated, and go deep into the Orbiter, so there is always chance of collision - especially considering that developers and testers can't test for all possible permutations. Just today I got a word about the uncovered incompatibility of Vostok with the Attachment Manager... Luckily, Orbiter is easy to deploy side-by-side, in multiple instances.

...But I am still curious about the failure timing... This ~418s time mark is pretty indiscriminate - yet something special is happening on this mark. Maybe something behind the scene, like the first stage blocks crashing to the ground? I don't have Orbiter around at this moment to check, should wait till evening...

And - I am very sorry for the problem you are having! I know how frustrating in is, when everyone around talks about "this great addon" and this "great addon" just falls flat on THIS machine! So I hope to initially at least locate the area of the failure and find some workaround in the short term and a possible fix in the future...

 

[Aion]

This is just... just...
Wow, just.... wow!
I'm speechless!
Simply amazing, thank you so very much.

 

[jangofett287]

Tried this yesterday, its truly a great ship you've made here...
First flight, forgot to turn limited fuel on:blush:, ended up with Russia being showered with burning rocket parts:lol:, somehow Yuri Gagarin survived, so was sent up again, this time successfully!

 

[gagarin]

I have sorted it - I have done a new install of orbiter 2010 and just for this Vostok Addon. - this work of art so warrants it, and it now works fine!
Its simply breathtaking and cannot praise the authors enough
THANKYOU
