Iron Hill Project - Setting-up Grunwald Base

Ok, we are back at home. Rick

Thanks for the help, TMac. I drove out to Grunwald and set up the base and the RTG package. We are standing in the base and having cocktails right now (next time, we should pack chairs). I processed the save for unpack issues before I uploaded it. Rick

Sorry for the usual complications, but I am going out of town this weekend and will not return until Wed., 10 October. Nothing coming up after that, but I can't do anything on October 8, so we need to adjust the schedule. Rick

Oh, put my name on the list. I'm sure you'll have lots of tables to arrange and spaces to walk out there on Europa. :tiphat: Who knows, I may even figure out how to work one of these spacey-craft by then :beathead: Rick

Ok, scenario attached. Tables set up per instructions and I deleted the AFCMODE as required. Good luck Felipi! Rick

Thanks, guys, I fixed it! I'm laughing, but not because of the door (although that gave me a hint). I discovered the ambient light parameter and found that it was set too low, even though everything had looked fine up to now. I changed it from 10 to 100 and now I can see everything and...

Ok, had more time to play with this tonight. The Orulex test scenarios work fine, including the one on the Mercury plains. If I load the last posted scenario, the view is black, but if I put a suit on and walk forward, I go through the wall and can see the hills of Mercury (although the light...

I'm sure I can get this working, but I have never used Orulex. I installed Orulex Land Gen v1.2 and activated the module. Using the previous scenario state that TMac provided at the distant base (before driving back), I was able to load the program. What I get is a view from the TMac MMU at...

This was my first chance to run Orbiter since the landing, and now I'm getting a CTD. I did have SSK installed but tried to download it again. No luck with the CTD, but everything was working when in orbit. Error messages at the end of the attached log, but I don't know how to quickly fix...

Many thanks to TMac and the rest of the gang for getting us this far. If your monitor can survive the experience, I have attached my pic. Rick

Spacewalk completed. Landing gear appears functional and fully extended. Per your instructions, I stopped the wheel and you accompanied me. Upon return to the ship, I restarted the wheel but left the gear down. No problems with the hull were observed. Thanks for the opportunity! Scenario...

Will be as prompt as possible on Saturday night for the space walk. I'm looking forward to stretching my legs a bit. As for when to land, I'm constrained by the workweek, so I won't be online on any weekday morning. Feel free, however, to do this anytime that is convenient for you guys. Rick

I am unavailable on Saturday night until at least midnight EDT, so I encourage Lydia to do the walk. I'm expecting to be available on Sunday for the orbital insertion chat. Best to everyone. Rick

Sorry about the chat, but I've been traveling. I think that TMac3000 should hit the surface first. You have certainly been the mainspring behind this effort and done the most work. If that is unacceptable to you for some reason, then it must be Felipi, of course, who has also made a huge...

Odyssey now has 31 units of cargo loaded.

Next chat meeting is tonight at 0400 UTC May 2 (tonight at midnight EDT). We will be moving cargo, hopefully much faster than last time. Rick

Due to some evening commitments that week, I could not join a chat until 0300 UTC at the earliest. Don't let that stop you. As long as my ummu goes, I am there in spirit. Rick

Thanks to Mission Control, Odyssey has been fueled and IMFD set for Mercury.

I am planning to enter Odyssey at 0400 UTC, April 24 (midnight on April 23 EDT) to load fuel and set the IMDF. Will be on the usual chat channel at that time. Rick
