OHM G42-200 StarLiner WIP-302

[Moach]

you can just edit the files in Textures/DGa2 as you normally would

the ones prefixed "ext" are for the exterior model, as one would expect :thumbup:


make sure you create a backup first, there's no built-in support for skinning at the current release (will do in a near future)

HELP PLEASE! G422 Module won't load?!

---------------------------------------------------------------
>>> ERROR: Could not load vessel module: G422
>>> [Vessel::LoadModule | .\Vessel.cpp | 5442]
---------------------------------------------------------------

i made sure everything was correctly installed and i redownloaded numerus times and retried to run scenario, but it keeps crashing?

Hi all. Been loving the Starliner for some time now; it's just what I love in Orbiter flight. My only concern was exactly what others here have said; lack of documentation but I am well familiar with Moach's work and know that when this bird is complete; she'll be truly magnificent - even more than she is now.

Documentation is a bit of an issue though; so I would like to help if I may. Like Moach himself says in the Development thread; there's no point writing a manual when so much of the craft will change before the official rollout. But to help; I'd like to make a procedures tutorial video detailing the checklists a pilot follows throughout the flight. Since it's only a video it won't matter if it quickly becomes obsolete; it's mainly for my own amusement - for some weird reason I like making tutorials (possibly for the false sense of intelligence they provide :rofl.
I'm sketching it right now - will hope to shoot on Sunday; my only day off for a week. I follow quite rigorous quasi-airline procedures when flying the G42 so can offer a fairly comprehensive training vid.
Cheers!

 

[Ripley]

Thanks! It will be more than welcome!

 

[Staiduk]

Doing it now - not sure when I'll be able to upload; I'm quite certain I won't get it all done tonight and tomorrow. So if not tomorrow; most likely Friday.

FYI; it'll be in a similar vein to a more realistic preflight tute I did some years ago here.

Cheers!

Edited to add: Be aware that I haven't fully explored all the power and potential of Moach's superb work yet - I have an LEO solution that works well for me but I have no idea if it's the best one. I'm sure many will correct me - but if this vid matches its goals viewers will at least be able to get into LEO.

 

[Staiduk]

Hey folks - just letting you know I'm starting to assemble the bits now. It'll be ready for upload Saturday. I abandoned much of what I planned and went for a bare-bones flight into LEO - how you get back down is your problem. :lol:
I use most of the dummy and not-yet-implemented switches in the vocal track; the neccesary ones are printed out on the screen as we progress. The viewer can select how much immersion he/she chooses to use.

Just gotta say it: Moach; you are really, really, really good. This is one fantastic spaceplane. :thumbup:

 

[Cras]

Nice, I look forward to it.

And yeah, the G42-200 is quite something. Nothing else comes close to the flying experience you get from this thing. Love your work Moach.

 

[Staiduk]

Uh...I plotted everything out, got it all ready but I've run into trouble - I can't get Fraps to work properly. It works fine from the outside - the external shots look great - but trying to use it inside the flight deck causes Orbiter to grind to 0fps and stay there several minutes. It works sometimes; I've got a few scenes done, but by and large it's just not working. I think I can push through to make a startup video; but I'd hoped to follow the flight to LEO and there's no way I'll be able to fly under these conditions. Still working on it - but if anyone can tell me why Fraps causes Orbiter to freeze at 0 FPS inside the flight deck I'd appreciate it.

Use Bandicam http://www.bandicam.com run orbiter in windowed mode with DirectX 9 graphics.

 

[Staiduk]

Thanks; just finished the majority of filming - excellent product, that! :thumbup:

 

[RacerX]

Glad you are having some luck with it. Looking forward to your video!

 

[Staiduk]

Thanks. It's done but...well...it frankly sucks. I'm sorry fellows - I don't want to pirate this thread, this is about Moach's superb aerospacecraft after all but I'm not prepared to release mediocre work; it wouldn't be fair to the superb Starliner.

I'm starting over. Hope to upload tomorrow. Got a loooong night ahead of me.

Most excellent..

Tell me somebody, please, how to use this ship :shrug:

You can take a look at the development thread for the G42, but it boils down to this.http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=310366&postcount=942

couldn't do ramcaster throttle. Have speed 1.6M, 13 km altitude. Doors is open, pull ramcaster, but no reaction.

Found problem

 

[PhantomCruiser]

I think the Ramcaster used the hover keys? (numpad [0] and [.])?

Somebody somewhere made a "cheat-sheet" pdf with the sequence and the keymap. I'll see if I can find it. But I think it's in the development thread somewhere also.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Yeah, RAMCASTER is on the hover channel. I posted a checklist on the wiki a while back... Haven't checked it lately.

 

[Matias Saibene]

I have a question:
What is the state of development of the G42-200?

Is it is developing a new version of this add-on?

Will there be any future version of this add-on?

Greetings and excellent work:thumbup:.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Moach is rather busy with KSP right now. So, who knows when Moach will be back for more...
