This maneuver uses orbital mechanics to work, so a general understanding of orbital mechanics will be helpful. :thumbup: I haven't done this in a while but I try to give you an explanation. First, while still docked to the station, the ISS should be 'wings level' to the horizon and have the...

I hate to interrupt the discussion... I was hoping to claim an area for a base. It is an extreme Hills Biome centered around X-1171, Z 263. Let me know if I can have this area for building. If I can, can I also get a marker on the Server map. :cheers:

Good day all. Just letting you all know I'm still here. I've been spending a lot of time in airplanes the last couple months and traveling a lot for work. I think I'm coming up on some free time so I would like to get back to working on the Docs. I saw a couple of posts ago that lots of...

Hielor, would it be at all possible to add me to the whitelist? MC username: zerofay32 Regards. :tiphat:

Any particular reason for that log. :uhh:

I don't think the 9 engine falcon, has anything in comparison to the 30 engine(first stage) N1.:dry: The N1 had more issues than just a lot of engines. I find the number perfectly acceptable. Where it does get harder to manage is in a Falcon Heavy configuration. But by the time that fly's...

Not in David413's GPC MFD. It's the HORZSIT display. EDIT: His OPS displays: OPS1 - Ascent OPS2 - Attachment status OPS3 - Entry OPS4 - HORZSIT display OPS5 - SPI Display OPS6 - OMS/MPS MEDS display OPS7 - Docking Status OPS8 - PDRS/RMS status OPS9 - PL Bay doors status OPS0 - display main menu

I'll try to take a look at it. Work has had me on the road a lot (spent over a month flying in New England) And I finally got a new computer. My old one bearly ran SSU, got about 2fps. Runs much better now, and I have a new strategy about how to go about the docs. So, I my be changing it anyway.

That's not a bug. The shuttle's arm is angled out-board in the deployed position. Not surprised that SSMS has it wrong and I don't know what NASA footage you have seen. Check out the images I've attached.:cheers:

Obesity Index 22bmi BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is National Below average You have a lower BMI than 88% of males aged 15-29 in your country Global Below average You have a lower BMI than 54% of males aged 15-29 in the world About where I thought I would be...

It has a second shutter button for the bottom grip that is normally used in portrait orientation. (See pic) Since he is using his left hand he can use is left index finger or even his left thumb to actuate the shutter. As far as a reason for the grip, it is either for orientation or he may...

One of the shuttle pilots refer to the cockpit as 'retro' too. As it clearly is modeled after STS's flight deck :lol:

That is a limitation of using Shuttle Fleet with ISS V3.2. You see, to support the ODS that comes with ISS, the shuttle fleet author added a feature that creates a docking port on the shuttle but not the shuttle fleet ODS. As a result of this setup, the ODS panel isn't able to be used. (the...

Judging by the location and shape, its a reflection of the light from the engines bouncing off the digital camera sensor and bouncing off the lens elements back into the sensor. A common issue with digital lowlight photography. You can see it in some of the other photos as well. The color...

Better than Buran. :thumbup:

eh... it's an election year....

Just wanted to share that I was in D.C. this past weekend (May 4-6) and took time to visit Discovery in her new digs. Pictures below: http://flic.kr/p/bUcfph Please check them out. :cheers:

Not in the least. For example, I follow NASA timelines when I fly STS for historical missions. The major milestones of the flight (Launch, rendezvous and docking, deorbit, and landing) are all done 'seat of the pants' with default MFDs (and Universal Pointing and GPC MFD) and I'm +- 20 seconds...

To each is own... :tiphat: When I spend time in Orbiter, I actually fly my missions. I find rendezvous and docking precisely, is rather easy, and I like to focus on what you do when you are docked. Thus, my interest in payload management for the G42. (P.S. my degree is in visual arts, so I'm...

I second payload management. With this, the bird begins to do more then just look good. Those that can't manually re-enter, land, rendezvous, and launch (needs MFDs to tell them what to do) can all wait. :thumbup: (My opinion is, if you cant do a mission on with the default MFDs, default...
