Do I need any addon KSC scenery?

No.

Is there a preferred ISS addon for SSV?

There is no favorite station... you can even launch towards Mir.

I personally am a fan of BetterISS from MaxQ. You'll have to edit either the mission file or the launch scenario to replace the default ISS, but it is worth it since you can actually follow the proper approach profile since BetterISS has realistic attitude hold features such as LVLH.

Anyone know what this MPS DATA fault is, along with the HYD PRESS caution? This was post launch, setting up for OMS-2 burn. This was the STS-107 launch scenario.

First look: Looks like a data path failure. Some PASS error state indications are not yet implemented, but it looks like you are out of helium, which causes some weird things internally ("-nan(ind)").

Second thought: Maybe the scenario is not yet updated for the latest changes in SSV and you need to add some PRPLEVEL line entries.

It happens sometimes when the ENGINE POWER switches are taken to the OFF position. Harmless, just means that the GPCs can't communicate with the Main Engine Controller on that particular engine anymore. Usually happens if the GPCs and MEC was talking when the MEC was powered down so the GPCs throw an SM Alert to inform the crew that something happened. There's a bunch of these harmless SM alerts, for example RHC DNMODE which is when the RHC is moved out of the detent position and down modes the DAP to INRTL and disables the automatic attitude tracking (ITEM 19 in MM201 and ITEM 27 everywhere else).

anyone ever have luck with using the CT to pickup the MLPs? I've never gotten it to work. I think I cant judge where the attachment point is length wise, since both of the LDS's are centered.

HYD PRESS is due to the APUs being shutdown. you can edit the C/W parameters and inhibit these as well as once for the MPS to clear the lights. that was usually done at the end of Post Insertion.

How close are you longitudinally? You have to pretty much be spot on and the LDS only helps with the lateral alignment. This is why they have ground observers stationed in the baskets of the mounts, equipped with radios in direct contact with the driver.

The MPS light should be because of the MPS He press (tank and/or reg) going under the limit, which is espected post MECO.
The MPS DATA fault message is because you turned off the SSME controllers in MM104, and at that point the SSME data is still required by the GPC. The controllers should be powered off in MM105.

That is not easy, but there are 4 squares under the MLP that, when everything is aligned, should be over the jacks of the CT.

looks pretty close to me haha

 

[Tiny_Bob]

Is there some keybind i need to press or something to release the MLP from LC-39?

Should plain "J" key.

 

[Tiny_Bob]

I got it in the end.

STS-6 is in the books! (I forgot to take photos for IUS Deploy oops)

Enloyed the video, and the others on your channel. Would love to have some commentary on what and why you're doing things. Not a step by step tutorial, just general info, like what system your manipulating and why.

Very nice.

Once I get to a state where I can consistently build code without being inches away from uncomfortably full storage space, I think I'll start making videos on SSV too, considering that I'm going to be restarting STS-1 (With an actually working microphone this time! ). I have my storage pretty well managed by now so it shouldn't be too long.

Also, I just wanted to say -
Flying the missions realistically (Listening to the real audio, using the real checklists, etc.) really makes you appreciate how much is simulated in SSV. I remember during my first attempt of STS-1, it really shocked me that I could not just change the MPS C/W Parameter Limits on the MS panels, but have it do something too. There's a really big difference between "Having a system" and "Having a system that actually does something", and I think that's part of what makes using SSV so fantastic.

Additionally, I'm working on making a few mission-specific checklists for SSV (At the present moment, just STS-3) based off of the already existent ones. I might upload them eventually if I finish them and I think that they look good enough.



(Alright, that's all of my wall of text. )

Look forward to some videos. I always pick up some stuff when I see someone's flow, which then drives me back to all the documentation to learn the details.

One thing I think would be valuable, especially for newcomers, would be SSV specific checklists, that only contain the essentials, and only contain normal operations. I love the complexity of the reworked checklist package from Johan2011, but they can be a bit much for me when the clock is ticking.

Yeah and some of the order can be confusing. That's why I switched to the real FDFs once I learned what is and isn't implemented. I've been thinking about making a video on a ISS rendezvous so people can see how to use FDO MFD and tune a maneuver plan. And maybe a video about creating a maneuver plan for a rendezvous, since that is a beast in its own regard.

Once we get the MCDS you bet ill do an RTS of STS-1 haha
