Im trying to build my dream package...

[jonb]

HI,

Let me begin by saying FINALLY! something on my computer worth wasting hours of my day. I am trying to upgrade and enhance the sights and sounds of a clean orbiter base 092906 patch 1 . I am trying to add the Hi-res ksc, the orbiter sound v3.5, the AWESOME landing soundpack for shuttle fleet (by kukanotas),and the the shuttle fleet v4.2. This package of add-on's is my ideal "put together" scheme I'm trying to run. The problem is I have NO launch pad?? The shuttle just floats so I checked the read-me and saw that I had to use "SCNEDITOR" to adjust its alignment to the pad although STILL no launch pad...its just gone. I would love to have all these thing I mentioned earlier plus a enhanced launch tower with the controllable "beanie cap" and all the other cool visual and physical enhancements. Are my add-ons conflicting, am I doing it in the wrong order? Is there an Ideal full package upgrade similar to what Im trying to add here?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INFO!CHEERS!

I had kind of a similar issue. Do you have the LC39A high res pad addon? Thats the one you'll see on orbithangar with the beanie cap and gangway. Once you get that installed, you want to run the scenarios that come along with them to load them up. They don't just load in every scenario, you have to use the scenarios that are written for them.

However, Orbiter will probably start crashing on startup at that point. that's what happened to me. The reason is that the scenario files reference an old or different version of the shuttle fleet than the v4.2 one that you have. Have you figured out anything about editing scenario files at this point? If not, once I get home I can tell you which line to replace with what.

I've gotten my install to the point that I can run the hi res pads with the shuttle fleet, but the problem that I still have is that the area immediately around the pads is not part of the hi-res ksc package. it's like the pads are overwriting that ksc with something else. I had a thread going about this too, and I did get some advice but it was over my head. You can probably search for threads started by me to find this one.

Hey thanks, Yeah I haven't messed with editing scenario files but if you could tell me how that would be great. I am now using the LC39A hi res add-on and I figured out that only the scenario offered with the hi-res pad was the playable one. I'm going to really spend some time searching around to see if I can get the best visual and physical enhancements to work with the newest shuttle fleet, I mean why shouldn't it? I would assume it would take some modification or deleting of the files inside the folders for the hi res ksc to coincide with the LC39A high res pad but where to start...I'm lost there.
