General Question ? About Adding Ships To Starrbases

[Darth Corleone]

I just installed and tested this addon---.Federation Starbase XI (Very Nice Starbase indeed)
'd like to add a few ships. can you please give me the name of a ship that i can add to the Starrrbase? ii'm still a bit new to Orbiter an i'm not sure if i'm suppose to add a ship that docked, in orbit or on the ground to this base.

A few days ago I installed the THE KLINGON FLEET addon to a ship's .scn file with a cut and paste using notebook. I think i'm to do sort of the same procedure with this starrbase?

A link to a tutorial or FYI on adding ships to Starrbases or Ground Bases would be ok too.

P.S i also left a request fir help doing this post on the addons comet page.

Please Help....

Can't you just add a vessel with the scenario editor? The use the editor to dock,....

Thank's for Your reply. Being new to Orbiter I did not know that there was a "Scenario Editor".
Where is it located in Orbiter and can it let you build a stand alone scenario? can you provide me a link to a tutorial?

You'll have to activate it under the [modules] tab. Once the sim is running hit [Ctrl][F4] to bring up the editor.

Scenario editor can be awesome! It can also be a pain (usually user error though!)

!Thank's Again, for the reply's I've been bring up that grey interface quite accidentally meaning to hit the F3 key. I will check it out.

P.S. I've made missions with Klingon Academys "Quick Battle" and the "Quick Battle 2" addon. It looks like to me that Orbiter and KA use the same basic Universe structre.

SOLVED....

It's usually both at the same time.

Last night I decided to take a chance an add the Bird of Prey addon to the SF-Oakland Airport map (addon). I added (using Notepad) the BoP's Ship description listed on it's scenario.scn to the SF-Oakland airport's .scn file. When I launched the SF-OAK-Apt scenario the BoP was there. "!Very Nice" However, the SF-OK Apt map was not there. After a bit of thought I swaped the BoP's first line with the Delta Gliders first line, launched again and now i 'm flying a BoP around the SF Bay.
i have not tried to use the Scenario Editor yet but hope to do so very soon. At least I'm not afraid to play around with some of these file anymore.
Thank's again for all the help. , DC

SOLVED..
