ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
Ever heard of just winging it? Or trial by error? Just set up a scenario that puts the shuttle on its final orbit and play around with different numbers. The great thing with Orbiter is, if you screw up no harm done, you just restart the scenario. You have been given the tools and the data to...
That is done because docking ports cannot be rotated via animation but attachent points can. So the first truss segment is attached with a docking port and the rotation point is outboard of that, allowing the auto and manual rotation aspect of the MBR-ITS to be simulated.
EDIT:There are older...
But having refueling capabilites at the moon is a good idea. You go on a car trip, you don't fill your car with all the fuel needed for the whole trip. You refuel when you need to. Thus in a Earth->Moon->Earth trasportation system you gain payload by having the ability to launch from the Earth...
1. MFDs - Check the Orbiter manual section that talks about the stock Atlantis
2. Definetly get the Shuttle Fleet manuals (and read though them).
3. Most addons do not use a dialog to edit payloads. So learning how to edit scenario files is a must.
4. Someone else will have to tackle the...
Yes it is. Currently I'm thinking of a new one for after the anniversary period. But I haven't come up with anything good yet. I just don't think if would be right to go back to the meatball on the wing and sides.

Endeavour is ready to go on her seventh trip to Space Station Freedom. This will be her last flight bearing the old NASA markings (due to schedule timeframes, she was unable to get them for this flight). This will be a short flight, about 7-8 days. And the prime landing site...

He means the wing name. And the only way for the stock Atlantis is to edit the texture in photoshop or another program that will open and save .dds files.
If Space Shuttle Deluxe is still on OH, that had the ability to change the wing name from the Scenario file. SSU (Space Shuttle Ultra) has...

The launch team at Vandenberg Air Force Base's Western Test Range are ready for the second launch of the Ares 1 and Orion. This is the same capsule that was launched in September from KSC. This flight tests the processing facilities at VAFB as well as demenstrating the...
Thanks. The extended crawlerway and LC39C ground texture is on right on the KSC base texture, the hardstand and MLP/Launchtower in a preloaded mesh (just like A and B). Its fairly close to the actual Lat. and Long. but I made sure to keep the same distace between C and B as there is between B...

KSC staff are busy preparing for the first flight of the new launcher, Ares 1, and new capsule, Orion. This flight will be the shakedown flight for both vehicles and will be unmanned. This flight has meny firsts but one of the biggest is the first launch from the newly built...
