I need some help understanding this, I have SSU and it says you can rename the shuttle by placing in the scenario file 'WING_NAME (insert Shuttle name here) but when I do it, nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Post the configuration file where you tried to rename it. There might be a syntax error.

Not sure by the configuration file, but the scenerio file is this if its any help. BEGIN_DESC

On this line, WING_NAME Challenger, what did the original one look like. Did it have underscores or hyphens?

Didn't have anything there, I typed in 'WING_NAME Challenger' like the instruction told me to.
Let me try a clean install for a second.
 
I think in order for it to show up it should be a texture file linked with the mesh like in Anim8or. Thats what I think. If it told you to only do that, then listen to what it says. Eventually someone who works on the SSU will come around and help you with this problem.

The version of SSU on Orbithangar (V1.06) does not have this capability. The WING_NAME parameter works on V1.25, which is currently in development and should be released soon.

Should we release it with the 125 payload ?

I think so. Would be nice if we could also already come up with a mission file for it, but I have doubts I can finish the work on the mission file system before lift-off.
 
Ops. I don't changed the name in SSU. I changed in Shuttle fleet.;)
