Wow, nice. Danstephs mods are truely high class... :)

Looking great!! If you can add some "immersion" aspects like O2 supply and all the stuff, it will be great fun to explore the solar system with that ship and its dropship :) Oh and btw: any idea how this ship is build in space(LEO?) or how its launched?

The airport is the fictional "Space Research Center" on Sumatra, Indonesia. The author is the same as for the Energia and TX vessels (forgot the name).

Cool, the mesh is looking awesome! I remember as a child I had some kind of card game with aircrafts and the SR-71 was my favorite! ;) It was the fastest jet in there :) So I'm really looking forward to fly this in orbiter...!

I think he's not talking about the Space Shuttle going to the moon but rather using the shuttle to launch/release the actual lunar vessel. I don't know why this was actually never done - probably because the lunar vessel would have to match the cargo bay dimensions of the shuttle so design and...

Yes, I was talking about Shuttle Fleet. I'll try to follow your guys hints. I want to perform the TORVA, not the RPM actually. I also watched the tutorial in the playback folder. I dont know why my UNIVPTG is not rotating though like in the playback. I thought UNIVPTG controls the pitch angle...

How come that the UNIVPTG usually do not do anything after all? I set it up like its stated in the manual: - About 180m below the ISS on the stations RBar - Switch view to ODS and center station, keep a distance of ~180m - Select MOD, switch to DAP and perform the commands: ITEM 10 DATA 0.13...

Hi , its me again ;) EDIT: Ok... can I please disappear into the ground? :( Found the "solution" by myself. The tutorial I was checking was for the ISS' SSRMS, and not the shuttles SRMS! And the control key for the arm was not CTRL-J but SHIFT-J. Gah! Ok... shuttle fleet I'm coming! ;) ---...

Don't know if this has been posted here before (probably it was): It was/is (?) from a german show which was on TV late at night... I think its quite matching to Orbiter out-of-vessel-views :)

Alright. Probably I was just a little bit too careless. However: do you know if DanSteph plans to implement some kind of random failure feature? I think it would be nice.

Hi there. Few moments ago I just wanted to play arround a bit and planned a take-off from Widawika (speeling?) airport (the island add-on). I started like usual, throttle up to 100%... waiting for vel=160 to rotate. I started to pitch up and immediatly after my wheels left the ground I saw...

Heh :) First I wasn't sure about what kind of unit I should use... but then I figured it would be best to measure pressure with N/m² and thats Pa. Oh and btw: It would be awesome if you guys could come up with some "models" (i.e. parameters for the rockets specs) AND real data for comparison. I...

Hi all. Thanks for your help and comments. TJohns, I feel the same! Actually I'm quite happy with my trajectory now except the fact, that it seems about 4-5seconds too fast. This is the status right now: Due to your comments I included the effect of decreasing atmospheric pressure. I used the...

Hey guys. Yesterday I started to work on a small tool to calculate a rocket launch, i.e. calculates some important variables on the way of the rockets climb. The main tool of my approach is, as the title implies, the rocket equation. The rocket equation gives me the velocity v = v(t) at a...

@Gonzo: Yes, its really challenging but its also very exciting - like I said - probably the most fun maneuver I did so far. :) Next time I will try to control my climb with a lower AoA (inverted)... this time I just used my main engines to control the climb and to keep my altitude arround 65km...

Whats Tex's OFSS? ;) About your station: I think it all depends on what kind of station it should be. Is it a transit station to moon and other planets? Or is it another science lab? If it serves transfer purposes, Decker is right - there should def. be some kind of refuel device. If its a...

Wow HiPotOk ... these are some awesome add-ons ;) Thx for the hint! I will use these for future missions now! :) I guess a lunar mission will be much easier with this setup though - the Energia will launch the DG so no fuel is used for lift-off, and then you got those drop tanks on your DG ...

Ok, I made it. :) Thats how I've done it: I burned prograde to decrease my reentry angle to 3°. Then I flipped backside to perform a gonzo-style inverted-entrance maneuver - pointing at an AoA of -50°. Without correction, this would have slowed me down enough to bring me into an earth orbit -...

@the.punk: Yes of course. I'm still learning though so I will do that later. Right now I'm using TransX for LEO maneuvers (rendevouz) - I tried it once for TLI but I was way off :P @MeDiCS: MarkII is an interesting option. I was a little bit foolish when I picked the MarkV (the strongest one)...

I know what you're talking about. I just started with Orbiter some weeks ago and I had a very hard time figuring out which add-ons are necessary, which would be useful to get for my purposes and so on. But I guess thats what the recommended add-ons page in the forums is for. When it comes to...
