Have you tried it? I did a few tests with it last night.

 

[Voyager]

Doesn't work for me. The SRB's don't start up.

 

[IronRain]

nope, it doesn't work the SRB's won't start up, and I have a KSC problem

Shuttle fleet isn't compatible with Orbiter 2010. David413 says that he won't be releasing a 2010 version.

But he doesn't say he won't release a 2011 version. *hope*

 

[Voyager]

Or perhaps, I could try to look at Shuttle Fleet, and see if I could get the SRB's to work.

I believe it would need parts of the .dll changing and recompiling, I'm pretty sure the Shuttle Fleet doesn't include the source files in its release so you wouldn't be able to do that.

why not? too much work? what are we supposed to do now?

 

[Voyager]

Give me a couple of weeks to a couple of months and I could do it. Note: If I do fix it I may break the space-time continuum.

What exactly can you do without the source code? To work that one out you'd need to write your own SF module and I'd caution you that for the sake of your sanity such things are better not attempted alone.

 

[Voyager]

I could hack it, or I could just annoy David413 till he release's one. Either choice sounds good.

 

[Lucy]

I believe you'll annoy him a great deal if you attempt to reverse engineer his work in some way. Such things are impolite.

Um, how do you propose hacking a DLL? Also, do you realise that's illegal?
Annoying someone who has no inclination to do something is not going to get you anywhere but farther away from a 2010 fleet.

If you are going to annoy him, he can easily report you, so you won't reach anything with that.

and Space Shuttle Ultra? does it work? is there coming a patch? (I can't try this, since I have no experience with it (yet)

Hacking a DLL is not generally illegal (you could argue that some countries have absurd laws regarding encryption and copy-protection software, but these cases are always viewed as special). Distributing a hacked version almost everywhere is illegal, though...

Annoying someone who has no inclination to do something is not going to get you anywhere but farther away from a 2010 fleet.

Agreed.

It will work. And there will be a patch, if needed.

 

[Kevon Daye]

Well I guess this just gives us a reason to keep 2006 around:thumbup:.For the time being at least.

Annoying forum members is NOT a good choice of any sort. Please don't do it and if you think it might be a good idea remember the Rules & Guidelines exist for dealing with such issues.

David413, like every other developer gives his time FREELY. If he chooses not to update the shuttle fleet that's his choice and I, for one, am greatful for his current contributions.

 

[David413]

I'm quite busy right now, but I will post a complete explaination as to why I don't intend to update the fleet beyond Orbiter 2006 shortly.
