SSU public release comments/bug reports

[DaveS]

i didnt down size before i attached it
im confused
am i missing a step

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

the ship is all together now
seems to be in cockpit but no f8
target is centaur
but facing the bay
cant get in actual vc mode

Just press F3 and select the orbiter (Atlantis).

 

[DaveS]

that worked though the apu auto shutdown enable doesnt move
and those to the left also
none of the historic missions work
just sts-61g
getting closer

SSU is far done. It is very much a work in progress and can be unstable. If you want a stable shuttle add-on, I very much recommend David413's Shuttle Fleet: http://simviation.com/1/browse-Space+Orbiter-111-0

 

[DaveS]

do they have active switches
if not id rather wait
yall are doing a great job

No, just a static VC.

which modules do you use

I take that as a question. The answer is: self-compiled modules. I only did a quick check for you with a plain Orbiter installation and the mentioned snapshot plus pre-compiled modules.

Keep in mind that SSU is work in progress.

 

[Face]

so the apus are not functional at this point
i can handle that

This is not what I said. It could be that they are not, but I'm not on the SSU team, so it would be a question for DaveS, Orbiter_fan, Urwumpe, Donamy, Siamesecat, Kwan, Lipiak, Gls, Mission_CDR or Zerofay (contributors to date).

now just so i know 1357 doesnt work right
with your package

It works the same for me with:

• a SVN checkout of 1357 plus a recompile as with
• the mentioned snapshot and the pre-compiled modules.

For the "working right" I am the wrong person to ask, though.

 

[Donamy]

The scenarios were made at different times, so some may not be compatible with present build, without modification.

 

[DaveS]

2 last question
there is no more 1.25 right
im using and enjoying 1.06 for now
i loves me some switches

also who is the shuttle texturer on the project SSU
i have 2 new 1.06 textures for shuttle in the NG launchpad
or are they obsolete now


take care

Neither 1.06 or 1.25 really exist anymore since they're completely unsupported. The textures however are mostly the same but there are some key differences especially when it comes to the payload bay.

 

[DaveS]

Send me a screenshot or sample of your work and we'll see. The textures are mostly the same as the default Atlantis and Shuttle Fleet but with our own modifications to make them more accurate.

 

[DaveS]

email or pm
and thank you for your time Sir

PM and if that fails, then e-mail.

 

[DaveS]

using the D3D9Client with screen capture all i get is a black jpg?
should i just send you the textures 2 and 1

Try regular the Print Screen key and paste the image into a image program. And send me both.

 

[DaveS]

:roger:
[/COLOR]how would you prefer i send them

Zip them and send them along.

 

[DaveS]

not sure how to add a zip file in a pm
or do i add it to my post here?

Better to add it here.

 

[DaveS]

will do

Checked them out and the details are good but the colors are all distorted and warped. Not exactly a good thing for something that is supposed to look accurate and good. That's sure to cause headaches after a while.

 

[DaveS]

are you using the regular LP

No, D3D9Client. As I wrote, the details appear fine but the colors are wrong and warped compared to the original.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Thanks for having a look

which colors are distorted

The labels, the flags, the logos etc. Anything that is anything but extreme white or extreme black has its colors all wrong if you compare it with the original.

Also, the details are coming on a bit too strong. Here's a nice close-up of the AFRSI blankets on Endeavour during the roll-out ceremony on April 25 1991:

[DaveS]

i see
i was going for an aged look

guess i failed :doh:

Thank you for your time

nice shot

Here's one that shows the blankets of Discovery and Endeavour during the "nose-to-nose" photo opportunity during the orbiter facility swap on August 11 2011: http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/images/large/2011-6401.jpg

 

[DaveS]

Those are bit better, but the colors are not even. They're still shifted way too much into the green. This is a comparison with a nice even lit photo of Atlantis during her transfer on the OTS from OPF-2 to VAB HB-2 on October 17 2012:

 

[SiameseCat]

You can't. The timer is supposed to show the MET. In some of the scenarios, the MET isn't defined, so the timer starts from 0.

BTW, if you haven't done this yet, you should take a look at the documents here: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/news/flightdatafiles/index.html
The Shuttle Crew Operations Manual (SCOM) and DPS Dictionary are particularly helpful. we're trying to make the simulation as realistic as possible, so these documents should describe how SSU works fairly well (although obviously we're missing a lot of things still).

 

[Donamy]

I can't turn on the left mfd in the pilot's position. Does anyone else have this ?

 

[SiameseCat]

Confirmed. I suspect this is a particularly bad case of the VC MFD clickpoints being badly defined.

 

[Donamy]

Does anyone besides DaveS have a working launch scenario ? CTD every one I had working in the past.

Finally got a launch to work with newest SSU (Thanks to DaveS). I would like to know, if there is a way to have a 'frozen' SSU release build, that could be refered to, when releasing a mission pack that doesn't get broken without notice. It would eliminate alot of confusion.
