General Question How do you put payload in the Space Shuttle??

[DutchPlayer]

Hi all,

The title says everything, but let me repeat it.

It's holiday so.. IT'S SPACE STATION BUILDING TIME!!

I want to use the space shuttle for this but I can't figure out to put the payload in the cargo bay. I looked for it in the manual but nothing. (I might be wrong I'm the worst when it comes to look for anything)

And yes I tried the search function (what doesn't work anyway (not trying to offend the admin)).

So does anyone know how to put these things in the cargobay.

An add-on idea/request; a plugin who makes this alot easier. :thumbup:

First off, I recommend you use Shuttle Fleet over the default Shuttle that comes with Orbiter. Added capability in terms of payloads is just one reason.

Page 19 of the SF manual goes into detail on the various attachment points on how to load deploy-able and non-deploy-able payloads into the bay.

Also, if you do decide to use SF, use those attachment points and avoid UCD. UCD has a habit of screwing up the launch autopilot.
