Flight Question How to have AutoFCS in Orbiter 2010 (Landing the Shuttle Fleet)

[SolarLiner]

OK, so now I've got this zipped in, it seems rather buggy for me.

E.g. with the standard DG, it made the whole vessel vibrate rather unnaturally, sometimes flipping the vessel round in a crazy loop-the-loop for half a second during on point of the reentry. With the XR2, it seemed to jam some RCS jets on even when turned off. Any ideas?

I have the same problem, but keep that Auto FCS was made for the Space Shuttle. But it is still strange !

I sometimes have that bug (with the Space Shuttle).

AMAZING!!!

AutoFCS rules!!!!!!!!!!!

Auto FCS Rule Shuttle Fleet only?

Ok, AutoFCS works great with the Shuttle fleet (V4.8), but when I try to use it with default Atlantis, I always overshoot the target base. Even when I get to within 20KM of the target, the shuttle if still doing about 5K+ m/s GS.

I doesn't matter if I burn sooner or later. I always arrive at the base with too much speed and altitude. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Using AutoFCS with the default Atlantis. Seriously, AFCS was never designed to work with the default Atlantis, the original release package included a modified Atlantis with corrected aerodynamics. These aerodynamics modifications became part of the Shuttle Fleet in order to have AFCS work with the fleet.

Thanks David.

OK, so have these Aero modifications also been applied to SSU? I am trying to complete the LDEF Scenarios that come with Orbiter. I managed to muck up the scenario file when I tried to replace the Default Atlantis with the one from the shuttle fleet. I assume that SSU will replace the default Atlantis, and take it's place in all the default Scenario. Is that a good way forward, or should continue my attempts to port the scenarios to the Shuttle fleet?

Thanks.

SSU will not replace the default Atlantis. It is entirely separate, just like the Shuttle Fleet.
