Hello 
as far as I remember, no, only one mesh for one stage....(or one stage = 1 mesh).
extract from the doc:
Meshname=abc (Name of the mesh) (Mandatory)
on the other hand you can put several "stages" at the same coordinates ..... ?

So can I add an AAPO lunar lander? The Saturn 5 is along the Z axis. While the LM is along the Y axis? Short of rotating the LM

I got an issue. I am sure the answer is easy. I have a new Vulcan. Where there is a main stage and 2 boosters. I have all 4 fueled up. But only the main stage is firing or at least visually firing? 4 tanks 2 booster and 1st and 2nd stage.

Scn after all 4 tanks filled. 4 tanks. 2 boosters 1st stage and 2ndstage.
From the scn only 1 thruster is using fuel.
I redid the ini and she works

A weird issue. I basically took the thrust from the main stage vulcan 4.9 KN. And have 2 others. So basically 3 main stages. But when I press P to launch the rocket in the HUD you see it add thrust and then goes to zero and add thrust again?

Maybe is the burn delay set for the getaway boosters (it was meant for upper boosters). Try to set it to 0 and see if the issue disappears

Thanks no. When I press P for launch the thrust applies to 4.9K and then goes back to zero and goes to 4.9
It is like it applys the thrust and re applys the thrust? here is the scn in flight
On the THLEVEL not sure why 0 and 1 are the same then what is 14/15

Can you do a video or a series of screenshots?

Here you go. So once I press P the countdown begins and it appls thrust and then applys thrust and the rocket lifts off

That means if your cut off time order occur to late, the rocket engine will stop at the altitude "abside"...
So you can write
10 abside=130
For exemple
But read the doc For the types as I'm not at home

Thanks. I am still unsure
this is for the SLS
-10.000 =orbit(150,250,51.6,1.00,72,0.00)
we know the p=150
a=250
inclination 51.6
1 upright
72? is Gravity turn pitch?
0 is the Abside.

How to get this LMHabitat to be along the z axis? It is similar to a LM
Do I need to just rotate the mesh?

Hi
I have an issue with Fred18's multistage2015 that I had never encountered... because I had only put one or two satellites until now.
I am trying to model the Ariane 6 mission (with a new rocket, the one in my Kourou-CSG add-on is from Eddy.)
As you know, Ariane 6 carried 9 satellites, 2 deployers, 5 experiments and 2 reentry capsules. (17 payloads !)
Multistage has a limit of 10 payloads maximum. so I will do with that...
But here is my problem: the adjustment of the "offsets" (or position) of the satellites in the rocket.
From [payload_1] to [Payload_5] everything works correctly.
But from [Payload_6] I can only modify X and Y offsets, if I set the value of the previous payloads, the payload_6 is about 50 m (55?) from the rocket.
I tried other values (55,1,10,0.001,-52,-10 etc) same issue.
The only possible value is Z=0 which places it at the same position as payloads 1 to 5 (which are set to 55)
And from [Payload_7] to [payload_10] the only possible values are off=(0,0,0) otherwise the payload is very far in front (or behind) the rocket.
Have you encountered this issue?
Here is my ini file: look only at the lines "Off=(x,y,z)"
I tried with spacecraft4 satellites, then Vesselbuilder, then (like here) with simple satellites with a basic cfg file (like the Carina satellite provided with Orbiter)
Same issue...
For the moment I have only made the fairing, the second stage is just on the begining, the rest has not yet been modified (boosters, first stage)

YES !!! I found!!! 
(it made me search for a long time, that...)
Here is the solution:
Before, I wrote:
off=(0,2,55)
In fact, you have to write:
off=(0.000,2.000,55.000)
The numbers after the "." are mandatory!!!!

Hi
I tested Multistage2015 with Orbiter2024:
Everything works fine, except the boosters:
Otherwise, everything else works (the stages, the sounds, the "guidance" files etc)
A planned update?
That would be great...
I tested Multistage2015 with Orbiter2024:
Everything works fine, except the boosters:
- if you let the combustion run until the end, the boosters stop their combustion but do not automatically jettison from the first stage on which they are attached
- if you want to eject them manualy (J key) it causes a CTD.
Otherwise, everything else works (the stages, the sounds, the "guidance" files etc)
A planned update?
That would be great...
