Any updates on remaining bug fixes and airlock config additions?
I plan fixing the attachment handling this weekend, and move the whole attachment configuration stuff into the mission file. This will include the airlock configuration.
I can maybe also do a STS-125 configuration file with the new payload handling, for testing purposes. A complete visual mission file editor is currently far away, manual editing and copy and paste from the MECOCalc tool will be needed.
Anything more will require me to get the university assignments for monday done today, and I won't bet on that.
Tasks which I also plan, but which can be delayed past 1.25:
- make the core simulation framework of us independent of the Orbiter, so we can use it in other vehicles - for example a EMU/MMU, but also satellites and payloads.
- Implement a EMU with special interfaces for SSU - for example detaching payloads from the payload bay, or take and use EVA tools. Also possible would be implementing movement over EVA hand rails. Would be nice for testing the payload bay stuff in STS-125.
- Have simple radio communication, for example commanding the second EVA astronaut around.
- Finish work on all GNC sensors.
Fun stuff, which is actually completely undesired and not needed at all, but which I can't resist implementing:
- Develop an external damage model for SSU, so my testing of Sputniks Uragan combat spaceplane with SSU does not result in unrealistic damage anymore.
- Make the EMU as mobile as described in my manned spaceflight lecture, so it can do really satanic rituals.
