[Urwumpe]

maybe this is interesting for the people working on Ares I add-ons:

Also if anyone wants too.. I can work the scenario's and the required addons for it and upload it to OH once you guys are done!

Also, I assume its unlikely to have this released before the actual Ares I-X goes up?

 

[Urwumpe]

I give it currently a 50-50 chance. I could also say it will be released on Tuesday.

If not before lift-off, at least shortly afterwards, since the launch will be tomorrow afternoon (local time) and I just have a lot of small stuff to be done. Maybe the manual will have to wait for after the launch...but who needs a manual. Press ENTER for launch.

 

[Kyle]

Thanks for the hardwork!

 

[Dambuster]

It feels somewhat inadequate to be just pressing a button to say 'Thank you', so I'll say it here as well:

Thank you!

 

[the.punk]

Cool!
Thank you. :thumbup:

Just an update: Now that I have found out that the corkscrew motion of the FS TVC was caused not by me having the coordinate transformations wrong, but by me having switched yaw and pitch channels for moving the nozzle, progress sped up... now I only need to check the ROCS and implement the pitch program, and the flight test maneuvers.

Well seeing as the real I-X was scrubbed, I'd say you have a bit of extra time left!

Yeah, but I don't need much extra time now. I now get proper RPY angles from the navigation function, the ROCS control function should work out soon as well.

Missing stuff:

• two-dimensional ROCS command function (roll rate error, roll error)
• low pass filter for z-axis acceleration, for detecting SRB cutoff.
• BDM and BTM ignition
• Launch constraint criteria lottery.

EDIT: Well, one or the other stuff could also be left away.

No! you can't leave out the ships wandering around downrange! :rofl:

Pesky cruise ships always screwing things up.

Does it have the pull string ?

 

[Urwumpe]

Does it have the pull string ?

No. It is a modern rocket. It has a red button that is not red and a rocket key.

Well done my friend! Looking forward to release! (hopefully soon!!)

Its no use trying this finish this addon, if you do, it'll only get caught on a piece of string, or the weather will prevent launch...

Damn weather...

...and I evan made a sacrifice to the for good weather, I still can't get the goats blood out of the cloth...

You say it. I still try to get the navigation stuff done, once I have two angles working right, the third is wrong. Had already achieved a almost good launch, despite the wrong angles, was just a bit too high.

Peroxide works for goats blood removal (chickens too). Went to KFC tonight so I could do a "chicken-bone dance" for favorable launch conditions. Live chicken sacrifice would probably work better, but the neighbors might call the police...
