SSU V1.25 Release

[SiameseCat]

RMS changes have been checked in. Apart from adding the switch between controlling the RMS and the RCS, the RMS Mode switch on panel A8 now works. At the moment, only the END EFF mode and the ORB UNL mode work.

Would it be possible to tie attachment points to the various cameras on the orbiter for use with CameraMFD? And then make the MONs on the aft flightdeck operational orbiter MFDs so we can activate CameraMFD on them.

 

[Donamy]

That would be the balls.

Would mean a dangerous slow down, if we have even more MFDs.

What if we kill the forward MDUs when at any aft viewing position? It's not like we need the forward MDUs when we're flying from the aft. Then instead of 9 MDUs active, we'll only have a maximum of 3.

Not much of a slow-down there, if we optimize things a bit. Then we could have the camera switches active.

That is not correct - we would have maximal 4 MFDs, as the CRT4 would also be visible.

Not much of a slow-down there, if we optimize things a bit. Then we could have the camera switches active.

Not really - we have no useful way to map the camera switches to the MFD buttons. It would be possible, but impossible to remember by a player.

OK. Could you remove the MCA debug text message? It interferes with Spacecraft3.dll vessel operations.

Already removed here for weeks, but not yet committed. I am not yet happy with how I removed it and the motor code needs some improvements.

Also, what is the switch between RCS and RMS control?

cntrl+"/" not keypad /

 

[DaveS]

cntrl+"/" not keypad /

You man basically Ctrl-7 and not Ctrl-Numpad Divide right? I tried both and none of them have any effect for me. RMS is powered and unberthed, mode is ORB UNL.

 

[Donamy]

Maybe you have a different keyboard, mine is the "/" key with the "?" on top to the left of the right shift key.

The one two keys to the left of the backspace key? Will try that one, thanks.

OK, tried that one and it didn't work. No joy at all. So I suggest that we use another key-combo, let's say Ctrl-R?

 

[SiameseCat]

Ctrl+R is used to set the HUD reference, so that key combination won't work. How about Ctrl+A?

 

[Donamy]

Look here !

 

[DaveS]

Look here !

Thanks for the very informative image! That is not the SLASH key for me, it's the hyphen/underscore key for me. So we appear to have some language keyboard setting differences here.

 

[Donamy]

Did it work ?

 

[DaveS]

Did it work ?

Yep. No issues once the correct key was found.

 

[Donamy]

To SC,

Could the EE roll become effective, so as not to need the RMS box ?

Another question, since you are disabling the RCS with the switch, could you also disable what the keys A,D,W,E,Z and X to be used for translation movement at the same time the keypad is used for rotations ?

If there are language differences, would it be a good idea to use a letter key instead of the slash key?

Not quite sure what you're asking here; do you want to use the A, D, W, E, Z and X keys for translating the RMS?
