ENG : Very nice add-on, congrats! I have a question for you :

I'd like to use this nice rocket to launch my new 'ShuttlePB' into LEO. It fits the 5.4m fairing, that's no problem. What is a problem is that my Shuttle is a 'module' (.dll). Is there a way to add a .dll vessel as a payload ? That would be very cool, the rocket is a bit expensive but fits my needs prefectly!

FR : Un add-on de très belle facture, félicitations! J'ai une petite question cependant :

Voilà, j'aimerais beaucoup utiliser ce très joli lanceur pour mettre en orbite la nouvelle version de la 'ShuttlePB' sur laquelle je travaille actuellement. Le seul problème, c'est que ce vaisseau est un module .dll, donc je ne vois pas comment modifier le fichier .ini pour parvenir à mes fins. Ce serait très chouette, bon ça fait pas mal de brouzoufs par lancement mais autrement, c'est une solution idéale pour mes besoins actuels.

ENG : Hello N_Molson

So, it's very easy to modify the rocket's characteristics (weight, fuel, thrust).

I'm currently preparing an update for this rocket, with (among other things) a modification of the characteristics that - I hope - will be closer to reality.

Everything is in the .ini file.
I can easily help you with that.
If you need an "adapter" to attach your ShuttlePB on it, I can make a custom one for you.

Regarding the cost, I'll give you a discount of 10, 20, mmh... 30%.

So, I'm available to help you and to adapt the rocket...

FR : Bonjour N_Molson

Alors c'est très facile de modifier les caractéristiques de la fusée (poids, carburant, poussée).
Je suis en train de préparer une mise à jour de cette fusée, avec (entre autres) une modification des caractéristiques qui - j'espère- -sera plus proche de la réalité.

Tout se passe dans le fichier ini.
Je pourrai très facilement t'aider pour cela.
Si tu as besoin d'un "adapter" pour fixer le ShuttlePB" je suis également près à en faire un personnalisé.

Coincernant les Brouzoufs, je te feri une remise de 10 20 30 %....

Donc je suis à ta disposition pour adapter la fusée...

Hi

Just to let you know that I'll soon be releasing on OrbitHangar an update for ELA-4, the Ariane 6 launch site in Kourou (French Guiana).



I've fixed some bugs and added a lot of scenery. objects. (list in the documentation.)

In summary :

Added the southern area (office and storage area)



Added the water treatment and storage area



At the entrance, there's a model of Ariane 6 and a signpost



And most importantly, I've added another version of the umbilical mast designed for the Ariane version, with its long fairing.

jacquesmomo updated ARIANE 6 European Rockets with a new update entry:

Minor update and 2 scn fixed

There's a bug I hadn't noticed in the "Ariane 6 Rockets" add-on (with flight VA262). Two scenarios aren't working. They are:

• v262 4- Satellites jettison
• v262 5- Capsules jettison

It'now fixed

I've also made some improvements for the Ariane 6 rocket (all versions) :

• the exhaust direction of the boosters during separation (it was directed in the wrong direction) is fixed
• The texture of the two helium tanks on the upper stage (to be more realistic) is modified...
