RMSSystem compile errors should be fixed now; I forgot to check in a file :blush:

Compiles just fine now!

And it seems like Urwumpe's tweaks to the SRB thrust profile works nicely. Now there's no cut-out of SRB burn between about T+115 sec and SRB sep.

OK, what is the next big bug on the 1.25 list?
EDIT: One thing which could be improved on the SRB separation sequence: We separate currently only on time, that's why we had the strange burnout behavior at all, and which was good that way to see the problem. In reality, separation sequence would start on time or low SRB chamber pressure (Pc<50).
Yes, Pc is the primary way to initiate SRB sep sequence with the timer as the back-up.

I'm getting a 1/2 sec pause at SRB sep in widowed mode and a full sec to 1 1/2 sec pause in regular mode. Anyone else ?
35 FPS for DaveS's 119 launch scenario, not bad.
I've got 3.0 meg with 2 gig ram with 8800 g-force
What are others gettting.

Similar pauses, but I have a very worse hardware.
Maybe it improves the loading a bit if we have two vessels of the two SRB classes already in the scenario at the beginning.

I remember hearing it in a mid-deck recording, but the sound changed dramatically after lift-off. The chugging noise is only heard on the ground even on the mid-deck (though more silent than we have now), later you only have a turbine whispering, which you can hardly tell away from the other noises.
Actually we have thus two noise sources. the chugging noise of the Water Spray Boiler (Only audible at sealevel pressure) and the silent turbine noise of actual APU (also audible internally, but part of the general noise background quickly).

Show stoppers, as I see it.
1. wabble during launch
2. RMS jumping when grappled to OBSS and jumpy behaviour.
3. hard to find button positions on the MDUs VC view.
4. animations on the A7A8 panel
5. ODS ring animation
After those are fixed, release it. What do you guys think ?

Yes I think so, add the GOX Vent, this one needs some more work AFAIR.
The ODS Ring animation might not work perfect for a while, the jump during docking happens too early to compensate it easily. My smartest solution would be attaching the craft earlier, but this requires some more math to do right.
What animations fail on A7A8?
The button position on the MDUs could be fixed easily, I just need to find the right coordinates. on top of the buttons.
After 1.25, I suggest also attempting some optimizations for the performance. We are too slow at standard orbiter for my tastes, as we really trouble the DirectX7 bottleneck. The VC could for example save some polygons in the scene by breaking it up into sections and then replacing distant sections by low poly versions.

Good.
The pushbuttons on A7L. Since Donamy checked in a revised version of the ODS panels, the animations for the A7L pushbuttons is broken. They now animate switches on A6L, IE when you push or flip a switch on A7L a switch on A6L is animated instead.

I'm mostly done with the RMS stuff; after that I'll work on the launch roll. Another bug which has not been mentioned is that some of the A8 talkbacks don't display correctly; I've fixed this, but haven't checked the code in yet.
Speaking of A8 panels, will this finally see the move the RMS data output like joint angles from a debug string text output at the bottom of the screen to the actual panel displays? That way we could have both EE position and attitude readouts available simplifying RMS operations.
