Xplane's space shuttle isn't there for the accuracy of the STS, but more of a proving tool for the system on an aerodynamic level. Basically, it's eye candy to prove Xplane can do that kind of simulation.

At worst, you just press each non-functioning button and make a *click* sound effect. As long as you stay on procedure, pretending to make the non-working buttons do stuff should at least inspire some kind of confidence in you. Yeah, I know people who have spent thousands upon thousands of...

Damn these savages.

At least LUA is simple. :)

Then just use the checklists provided by NASA that have been previously mentioned. They should work just the same as any SSU document would; especially since it is the space shuttle. It's cooler that way anyhow. How badass is it to flip through NASA documents? Pretty badass, I say. Badass...

I mean, you do realize that the Space Shuttle is a highly sophisticated, very complex piece of machinery that actually went to space, right? A tutorial that shouldn't be that hard would, in all honesty, take hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of training to complete. Not to mention, the...

The guy had some amazing skills. RIP.

I understand the logic, but these practices can't be true in non-ideal conditions - which are kind of the conditions the designer of the circular runway is trying to champion the proficiency in. What happens when you don't stop before hitting the jet ahead of you on the runway during an abort...

I don't think it's necessarily a lack of physics education. It IS an interesting concept, but completely ridiculous for the audience they're selling for. The critical thought processing is lacking; though, as anyone with the slightest knowledge of how airports work can ascertain what problems...

It looks very well thought out and polished, and the mathematical explanations are a nice touch.

This seems like one of those ideas that is interesting and efficient on paper, but would be wildly impractical in any real-world capacity. Maybe it'd work well for highly-specific aviation needs, or in military settings; however, for commercial aviation? All I see are problems even when...

Joseph, Welcome to the community. If you smell something burning, it's just the pentaborane in the closet, or one of mad scientist Artlav's latest experiments. He does-so love his experiments. Cheers, Samuel Edwards

I'm so glad to read this because the HCLV has become a staple in Orbiter for me. Since I basically use the XR2 and the HCLV as a STS type system, the addon is practically a necessity! :cheers:

As a newbie to the add-on creation scene, my best advice is to follow your nose; that is, the search function is your very good friend. There is so much information available from those that came before you, and their development stories offer the most keen insights into developing for Orbiter...

One-hundred percent agree with the above statement.

Props Found an old prop of mine. Good enough for space work?

Day 34: So far, they haven't realized I'm a more complex polygon than themselves... Added materials and some ambient parameters to make shapes render more realistically. Are there any techniques for adding lights in a mesh? I plan to add fluorescent lights via texture at some point and...

Or if you absolutely, positively must control updates. Setup a time schedule for manual updating. Remember that not updating is just as unsafe as your fears of Microsoft wrongly using data.

Nope, I sure don't. I don't want to know either. :lol: I've mostly used Linux as an OS with a word-processor suite for my old IBM ThinkPad T42 when I rediscovered how horribly Windows XP handles hidden wireless networks. I cloud-sync all my work and having network adapter software that...

Let's just say that my baby-Linux days were rife with me not knowing what the hell I was doing at all. A bunch of reading later: I can pretty much avoid crippling my installations. :lol: Around the time I accidentally destroyed GRUB was the time I taught myself to stop messing with things I...
