STS Historical Scenarios
The main reason for CTDs is the new Shuttle fleets. STSHM is setup for the old Orbiter fleets and SOL.cfg. The simplest solution is to start by finding the old Shuttle Fleet V3.82.Then copy and paste your current SOL.cfg to one that matches the STS.SCNs. A few changes to the STS Historical Scenarios is all it takes, Im sure someone is working on this for the public. The Primary thing is to make sure you have the correct shuttles noted in the Scn file for what ever shuttle pack you have loaded (2.0-4.0), you can find them in any of your basic Orbiter shuttle .SCNs, and be sure to have the correct SOL.cfg file noted as well. If you have any KSC addons these will need to be correctly set up too. I have included 1 example that shows an SCN file for my personal setup. This includes importantly the SOL.cfg I use, the new 4.0 Shuttle set up, and the KSC HiRes 39-a,b addon. Individual settings may vary (dramatically)!

Hope this helps anyone with the same problem since the STS Historical Missions is an excelent add on that deserves to be included in the orbiter basic Download...:dry:

Is the STS-Historical missions a seperate add-on?
Yes it is, but looks like it's not available on orbitHangar anymore.
Thanks for the tip Retrograde
,after some CTD's I realised aswell the Historical STS Scenarios could still work by modifying the original ones (i.e. changing the old S.F. with the new one).
It would be nice if we could get the full package updated with the last Missions.
Anybody still in touch with the developer (Erik Weber)?

Ya might try http://library.avsim.net Log in and search the Orbiter Misc section or run a search for Eric weber... Thats were I got mine and its still there
