    Flight Question Soyuz TMA new issue

    Man, I really don't know... I use Soyuz TMA a lot, and never had this problem. I'm not even sure that the TMAJ dummy spacecraft is necessary...I just load up SoyuzTMA on top of my multistage2 launcher and all is well, no fuel problems. Perhaps you should make sure you've got the newest...

    .dll Question CVEL hard to compile using VS 2005 Ex?

    Thank you, I have indeed been successful compiling shuttlepb before. I suppose I could try to hack together a non- CVEL version of Soyuz, but I feel I might be embarking on an even harder quest than simply recompiling the code that was compilable before, then making little tweaks, one by one...

    Flickering black tiles

    I too have this problem but don't have anything intelligent or constructive to say about it. I look forward to hearing if it can easily be fixed. It's not a show stopper, not on my PC anyway. Just ugly.

    OHM Lum's UFO

    Great frogisis! Will you be adding a Lum avatar to your add-on any time soon? What a blast from (my) past...http://www.furinkan.com/uy/ I didn't know UY was even known outside of Japan.

    .dll Question CVEL hard to compile using VS 2005 Ex?

    Hi All, I'm working on setting up my compiler, it's VS 2005 Express. I'm starting out simple, intending to test it by simply re-compiling an existing DLL using the given source code. I'm using soyuztma, with CVEL source code by the CVEL man himself, David Henderson. The code is perhaps 2...

    Problem Multistage2-no attitude control

    Is this a problem mainly with the multistage2 guidance program? I find that sometimes (but not always) I won't get any pitching at all with my guidance program if there is no roll program. Also try upping your pitch, roll and yaw thrust levels to something much closer to your main engine...

    Question A TOTALLY newbie guide?

    Use Autopilots and See How it's Done Reading manuals, tutorials and all that is a fine way to learn. At some point you will of course want to run Orbiter, and hands-on playing with orbiter is best. But it's a really hard simulator to use when you don't know what you're doing yet. Here's...

    Apollo 8

    By watching the Apollo 8 episode from FTETTM, of course! Edit: Even better. I hadn't planned on posting to this thread again but I had to: Today at the Boeing Museum of Flight at 2PM, Bill Anders gave a talk (plus a video and some slides) all about Apollo 8. My boy and I were in attendance...

    Problem Loading UMMU crew using UMMUFA

    Hello Gary, No, not at all...I just loaded currentstate because it was requested. Meanwhile, I explained in my post why I renamed the cfg file (Tex's system doesn't see cfg files as a valid file type for uploading.) Please pretend it's a cfg file. MT

    Project Improvements to Soyuz TMA add-on

    Maybe...we should have the Soyuz land on its side (as it often does) which would lower the airlock to just a meter or so off the ground...

    Project Improvements to Soyuz TMA add-on

    Hello unussapiens, Are you making a complete Soyuz add-on, or just meshes/textures? Any way we can coordinate?

    Problem Loading UMMU crew using UMMUFA

    Thanks, all, for the help! tl8, it's not quite like that: If I exit the scenario and the crew happens to be in the ISS, then when I restart, the crew is still there. If I exit the scenario with the crew in SoyuzTMA, then when I restart it, the crew is gone. I've attached my scn and UMMUFA...

    Facon 9 is on the road

    Given their issues with Falcon 1, I'd expect plenty of methodical testing for Falcon 9. Might take them a while to get that bird flying. Hope it's during 2009...give me something to look forward to. ;)

    Project Improvements to Soyuz TMA add-on

    Orbinauts, I find myself using Soyuz TMA frequently, even though it is (perhaps like its real-life counterpart) not very "sexy." But, I submit that it is an extremely important spacecraft, and might soon be one of the only manned spacecraft around. It has long seemed a pity that its Orbiter...

    Problem Loading UMMU crew using UMMUFA

    Hi Computerex or tl8, or anyone who knows, I've got a possible issue when I'm using UMMUFA with SoyuzTMA 0.6 (the last version). I can add crew, no problem. I can also transfer them to the "stock" Orbiter ISS, ProjectAlpha_ISS, which I believe to be a "config file-only" kind of vessel (no...

    Buy yourself a Shuttle!

    Who could pay $42M for a shuttle? A movie production studio. Remake of Armageddon, anyone, but this time with real hardware and zero-g? :lol:

    Facon 9 is on the road

    Thanks for the link! It's really exciting to see the actual F9 hardware. (Last spring I was working for a while on my own SpaceX add-on but stopped when Glider announced his much more ambitious version.) The article says something about the upper stage engine nozzle "not being used during...

    Humor Real life DOH!! moments

    Speaking of restrooms, I don't know how many times I've tried to open the door to the men's room only to have it open from the inside at the exact same moment, startling the heck out of me and the other guy. Always a 'DOH moment.:)

    New Release Wideawake International Released

    This looks absolutely wonderful. Just one thing struck me...the large "VAB" seems to be in the way of one of the the runways (making it hard for half the approaches or take-offs). Did I miss something? Your attention to detail is so good I'd imagine this feature to be deliberate... :cheers:
