SSU Space Launch Complex 6 development

Can you rotate the SLC-6 tower mesh by 180 degrees? I'm planning to have both the tower and the pad in the same vessel, but this requires one of the meshes to be rotated.

Are you talking about the red Access Tower?

Rotated Access Tower mesh has been checked in.
 
Any other troubles?
 
No problems so far. I've got the animation code done, and I'm working on the attachment point for the shuttle and the ROFI / sound suppression exhausts.

According to my information, the SSME duct water comes on at T-8.4 seconds while the SRB duct water comes on at T-7.0 seconds.

The ignition time for the ROFIs are T-9.7 sec with burnout at T+26 sec.
 
How's everything coming along? Any problems?
 
I've been dealing with a few weird bugs (like the shuttle shooting off at Mach 1 at T-0). I should be able to check everything except the SSS and ROFIs in tomorrow. BTW, do you know what position values I should use for the ROFI and SSS exhaust?

Those should get you started.
 
Just about completed the new right SRB exhaust duct/pit. Once the new ducts/pits are done, I'll move on to add the pad lights and the ET Ice Suppression System (ISS) building and ducts. Then I'll add the cryo spheres and the "flower box" as well as the water treatment holding tank.

The final mesh and texture in Orbiter which has now been checked in.

Can you check in the Vandenberg base config file? I need to see where to put the SSME/SRB steam exhaust. The base mesh in the picture above doesn't show up in the scenario you checked in earlier.

Weird. The Vandenberg.cfg in Earth\SSU that I have is unaltered rev. 1165 which is from when I first checked it in back in August.

Edit:
Just launched the scenario and there is a problem. I'll investigate.

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

Just to make sure: This is the problem you're seeing? If so, just delete Edwards.cfg from Slat's LC-39&Edwards hi-res add-on.

What I see is this:
View attachment 8898
The base doesn't show up at all.
Have you tried installing this: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2380"]VandenbergAFB - 2006[/ame]

It's weird though that the main base mesh doesn't show up. It's like the Earth\SSU folder is not being read and the base files not loaded. Can you check this? There should be this line in it:

Code:
DIR Earth\SSU CONTEXT SSU
 
I figured out the issue. A line is missing from Earth.cfg, so the bases defined in the SSU folder don't show up. Also, a lot of meshes seem to be missing - I had to delete a lot of the lines in Vandenberg.cfg before the scenario would load. The surface tile textures also seem to be missing.

Didn't see your post above - the CONTEXT SSU line is missing. I'll install the VandenbergAFB addon and see if that fixes the other issues.

It should.
 
Everything works now.

Checked in fixed Earth.cfg file.

Checked in fixed Earth.cfg file.
How much work remains to be done?
 
Not much. I just need to add the steam at liftoff. There are 2 bugs that need to be dealt with, but both of these are fairly minor.

OK. Is there any need for the post-abort/shut-down water deluge nozzle positions?
 
Checked in the SLC6 code and a test scenario.

DaveS: I don't plan on implementing these positions. If you already have the numbers, you may as well post them here, in case we decide to add this feature.
 
Just tested the scenario and everything works, except for ascent. The AP has serious problems. It keeps dancing all over the place never achieving stability. I checked in an updated launch test scenario along with a STS-62A mission file.
