Request Any SLS and Orion MPCV in development?

[Obunga]

Hey I found a weird bug with the cargo altair scenario. For some reason there is a huge gap in the launcher?

 

[gattispilot]

Ok I saw that also so I will fix.

On the launchpad site. I added an attachment to where the lights should be and added a spotlight. But I couldn't get the rocket /tower to be illuminated.

To be more user friendly I think just have attachment point and then the user can turn on/off, aim where they want.

This should fix the Altair cargo scenario:

Yes that fixed it. I also noticed a strange thing about the autopilot, it always wants to put me in a polar orbit?

 

[gattispilot]

Now with 3 lightning towers.

On the autopilot that is Velcro rockets autopilot.

Great job,now if you could get the flashing strobes on the Lightning towers.

Here you go!

 

[gattispilot]

What flashing strobes? And that water tower

 

[Interceptor]

Yeah,I thought that scenery came with the water tower,but I guess you wiil have to add it in,as for the flashing strobes check out brianjs Falcon heavy launch pad.

 

[gattispilot]

Like this: The lightning towers and water tower are vessels so they cane placed where needed. BrianJ gave permission to use his towers.

Beautiful job.:thumbup:

There are some strobe lights on the tower to help airplanes, mission control, crew, workers, and such, identify it.

Here is the lauchpad with 6 spotlights.

On the skylab II Not sure if I have the docking rings in the correct position?

On the skylab II Not sure if I have the docking rings in the correct position?

I don't know it there are correct, but they do seem too close for comfort to the solar panels and radiators. Shifting the ports 45 degrees clockwise should improve clearance, but since I don't really know what Skylab 2 is supposed to look like, this is just my opinion.

 

[gattispilot]

here is the newest launchpad and tower. For the scenario you will need spotlight2.

Well I was really asking about if the docking fingers were oriented correctly.
But I see your point.
Here are some drawing. You can see the 4 airlocks/docks. But they are even back further. I moved them to the centerline.

Here is the vessel with that ring.

And then this. But this shows an airlock and dock on the aft and not the front.

So what to do?

 

[PhantomCruiser]

There's no way to reconcile the geometry between those pictures. You'd think one of their powerpoint guys would have noticed it by now.
Maybe just go with what makes you feel good until more data becomes available.

 

[gattispilot]

Well Then I think the 45 degree off set makes sense. And add a docking/airlock on the front. So Orion could dock on the front an d flexcraft could dock also. So 4 side docks up front.

But back to the question of orientation and those dock fingers which is up?

On the skylab II docking ring those fingers will be close and in orbit open.

If I download this, will it overide the last version? That would be helpful, instead of having to have a bunch of separate scenarios when I want a specific rocket launch with the new tower.

 

[gattispilot]

Actually that scenario has no rocket. So you will need to copy a rocket into it.

On the Skylab II
I saw this:

[Obunga]

I noticed that the Altair lander is floating above the stage once the fairing separates. Is there a way to fix that? Also is there a way to fix the Velcro autopilot from trying to put me in a polar orbit?

Which scenario? On the Altair that is easy it is a matter of adjusting attachment points.

Not sure on the other

 

[gattispilot]

Here is the SkylabII. Minus fairings. but Should I make a adapter to fit between the EUS or ICPS and the vessel?
