New Release XR2 Ravenstar 1.0 / XR1 1.5 / XR5 Vanguard 1.2 Released

[Arrowstar]

I was looking at the XR2's VC and I noticed this (see attached). Can anyone tell me why it reads what it does?

That's classified information.

Another Easter Egg, perhaps?

What does XR stand for?

 

[dbeachy1]

It is a designation, nothing more, nothing less...

"Xtra Relish."

when i was filling in the panel markings, i couldn't make out what that said on the xr1's panel, or something heh. it was so long ago now i can't really remember... it's a goof on my part essentially

Possible bug report?

I was doing a little fictional cargo run from KSC to Prosper International. All was well until I landed, rolled into a hangar (no doors on it, but as Orbiter doesn't really handle collisions, I figured it would be no harm, and sorta be as if the doors closed behind it), and I opened the hatch, the fuel doors, and started taking on fuel. Then I figured I'd let Kara stretch her legs a little while Lee watched over the re-fueling, so I opened the nose, both air locks, and then EVA'd her. Suddenly I lost the skin, it was pure white as soon as she popped out. I had been on the Angel White skin demo-mission.

Nothing really serious, but odd....

Unfortunately what you are seeing is a bug in the Orbiter core that can occur whenever the vessel's visual is re-created (i.e., when you switch between vessels). What happens is that Orbiter's internal vessel texture tables can get out-of-sync, and so the core applies the wrong texture to the vessel in the oapiSetTexture call. I reproduced the bug awhile back with the default DeltaGlider using a custom skin; the bug has been reported in the Orbiter Beta Forum. (Beta team: details here: http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=3331)

Ah. Hopefully it gets fixed, but not a big deal either way.

Definitely lovin' this thing, and dieing for the next release.

Cool spacecraft!!
She can shine!!!
Coolhand, Is it inspired from the SR-71 Blackbird??

Any plans on putting a virtual cockpit in it, like the one on the XR-2.That would be real cool.Thanks

I get a parsing error when I set the XR5's main fuel ISP setting to maximum in it's preferences config file

# 7 = Massive (Jupiter+ w/full payload) [549377]

It only works up to 6. The XR2 works perfectly with 7.

That's a good catch -- it is indeed a bug. It will be fixed in the next XR5 release. For now, a workaround is to set the following [CHEATCODE] parameter at the bottom of the config file:

MainFuelISP=549377

I don't know if it's your hosting provider or my ISP, but I'm getting apalling speeds (40kbs tops) on the downloads and hitting a 'Size Mismatch' error at 51.1MB of the XR2 download, that's happened three times now.

Any chance of an alternate mirror?

 

[TSPenguin]

Try getting the split rar archives.

 

[bradfirj92]

The slow speed is still an issue with the large addons. Any suggestion? It is only with this particular site.

 

[dbeachy1]

I just re-tested the XR2 download here and I'm still getting a rock-solid 8-9 megabits per second, as is normal. Since it works for myself and others, it is highly likely that the problem is with your ISP and/or Internet connection. As TS said, just download the separate 2-MB RAR pieces and extract the files with WinRAR. Then if you still have download corruption just re-download the corrupted RAR piece(s) and try the extraction again.

In my experience GoDaddy has a really crappy overseas connection. Speeds vary from time to time. I never had corrupt packages though.
Since the problem with corrupt downloads is pretty persistent for some users for years now, I recommend putting up a few .par files. I recommend QuickPar.

I downloaded it a little while ago on an AT&T DSL line, and had nice steady throughput (about 6meg/minute or so) with no problems.

 

[bradfirj92]

Alright no problem, I'm downloading the rar parts now.
