Problem China Manned Space Program - Orbiter 2010

[Andy632]

Hi Orbinauts,

I've been trying to use the above addon - China Manned Space Program v1.5 by MajorTom - in Orbiter2010 P1 (because I'm old school, and I think my antiquated computer probably can't handle the newer versions very well anyway).

Some of the scenarios work fine but the ones I really want to work are the Shenzhou 1 or 5 launch from Jiuquan. Everything about the launch scenarios works fine, except, no launcher and no spacecraft, just an empty launch pad. I've added Stage.dll by BrianJ as per the developer's instructions in the addon description, so I know that isn't the problem.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Can you post a log.

Can you post a log.

It's saying it can't load multistage2, but I'm wondering if the problem might not be that the Ships section in the scenario file is dictating Orbiter looks in the config/vessels folder, but NOT in the config folder itself where the LM2F config file necessary for the scenario is located.

It looks like multistage is causing the problem. It's trying to load Multistage2, the latest version for Orbiter2010 is Multistage2015 Build 151317, recommend updating if possible.
The first thing to do is check your Orbiter/modules folder if there is a multistage.dll present.
The best option is to have Multistage2015 installed and (per instructions) copy the .dll twice and rename as Multistage, and Multistage2 for maximum compatibility with older addons.

That worked, thank you. Hmm, it seems Multistage is something I haven't explored after all, I got it mixed up with something else. I'll have to go through the manual and see how it all works, in amongst all the other Orbiter projects I've got on the go!
