Request Any SLS and Orion MPCV in development?

[gattispilot]

Ok. I will see if I can find the specs and update any thrust,....

I was think just the BLOCK1A cargo models first. Using attachments. attach the vessel into the upper stage. The flairings are attached.

So when you want press a key and flairing detach and then then vessel is detached.

Yes, use the Wikipedia SLS chart. It has a bunch of SLS models.

 

[RonDVouz]

Why? You have to start somewhere. Start with the SLS, make a simple Multistage2 configuration file for it and begin working on the MPCV. You can do great things with the Spacecraft3 configuration files.

Yeah, but SLS is a single state to orbit rocket. I don't know about anyone else but I'd want to as close to the real thing as possible.

Like AMSO, except without the crappy autopilots.

There are 2 stage versions.

Off-topic: crappy autopilots? Not sure what you mean there.

On-toppic: like said before, there are multiple versions (blocks) available for various mission requirements.

 

[RonDVouz]

Well you would need a mesh.

I was started making one. But there are people working on it. But wanted to wait to see what the final one looks like.

THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!

When you gonna release it? :thumbup:

There are 2 stage versions.

The SLS's core is designed to reach LEO without staging, that second stage will be the Delta Cryogenic upper stage used mainly to leave LEO, it's supposed to offer very little in the LEO insertion phase.

Means, I hate the AP's in AMSO. I make those burns manually since the AP just eats fuel.

Wait... you claim to be a better pilot than the AMSO APs? Including the LM guidance?

Possible, but very hard. I know only few better optimized guidance algorithms in Orbiter.

The LM's decent AP seems to be the only one that works 100% of the time. The ones for CSM operation don't seem to like me. And yes, after playing Orbiter for a couple of years I think I figured out a trick or two.

The method I started using for circulization was re-entering the altitude info in the LTMFD's LOI screen, basically changing the Apogee to the historical values and executing an auto burn.

Not sure if I ever used those... :lol:

Thanks. Right now all there is a basic mesh and dll. You can launch and separate the upper cargo flarings.

I am sure there are mesh issues on the tower.

But I can maybe put something together

 

[RonDVouz]

I had to once to figure out they weren't worth it.

 

[gattispilot]

I found this site:
http://nasatech.net/MobileLauncher/

Nice features. I which had good drawings to redo mine. I saw on sketchup

Wait, these are/were SketchUp models? How you get them into .msh?

Awesome work, by the way. :thumbup:

 

[RonDVouz]

Wow! The tower practically builds itself.

That link's sketch is nice, but if I'm reading that right it's Orion isn't working. Unless by "work in progress" he means something else.

I converted them to .3ds I think on the latest sketchup you could do that.

But I then build them based off that. There were things wrong so I fixed them where I saw them.

[Astro SG Wise]

That would be great. I have been looking for a SLS model for a long time, so this would be a great addition. :yes:

 

[gattispilot]

First issue. I need to raise the touchdown points so it sits on the Launchpad. This is what I have can't get it to rise.

	SetTouchdownPoints(_V(0,1 , -10), _V(-1.6, 1, -10), _V(1.6, 1, -10));;

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71242599/SLSTOUCHDOWN.jpg

Not sure to what to set the fuel at:
SetEmptyMass(85270);
double MAX_MAIN_THRUST = 232242 * 4;
what RCs thrust?

Hey John,I think you should still be working on your SLS project even thou some one else is doing it too a little competition, won't hurt anyone

 

[gattispilot]

Ok got her to rise up. But when I fire the thruster she rotates and not up

	SetTouchdownPoints(_V(0,5, -50.5), _V(4.4, -5, -50.5), _V(-4.4,-5, -50.5));;
	EnableTransponder(true);

	B1 = CreateAttachment(false, _V(-4.2, 0, 28), _V(0, 1, 0), _V(0, 0, 1), "B1", false);
	B2 = CreateAttachment(false, _V(4.2, 0, 28), _V(0, 1, 0), _V(0, 0, 1), "B2", false);




	SetMeshVisibilityMode(AddMesh(oapiLoadMeshGlobal("SLSCARGO")), MESHVIS_ALWAYS); //Main ship mesh

	ph_main = CreatePropellantResource(MAX_MAIN_FUEL);    // main tank stage 1


	th_main[0] = CreateThruster(_V(0, 0, 0), _V(0, 0, 1), MAX_MAIN_THRUST, ph_main, ISP);

Can't you ever learn to post proper code samples and not just the few lines of code, that very likely work properly despite the rest of the program being wrong? Every line of code that manipulates a thruster can be the culprit. And thus possibly every line of code in your add-on, if you can't limit the scope of the possible error by proper unit testing and assert statements.

How is THGROUP_MAIN defined? Why th_main[0], are the other main thrusters created elsewhere?
