Problem No rockets on the pads in Gemini/Mercury scenarios

[slvrwlf]

Hello...

I am sure that this has been asked before, but looking through a thousand plus threads is a little difficult with a slow connection like mine, so I hope you will forgive me.

I have been trying to get the Project Mercury and Gemini scenarios going, but there are no rockets on the pads. All I get is the green colored circle with the number 01 for Gemini, or the launch tower with no booster/capsul in Mercury. What am I doing wrong?

Incidently, I downloaded some add ons that don't work...one is the Starliner, and the other is the Thunderbirds final.

Thanks for the help anyone can give me.

to Orbiter-Forum! Are you trying to run Project Mercury on Orbiter 2010? because the Project Mercury addon is unfortunately incompatible with it, this thread should help explain why :thumbup: http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=17023

The Starliner from this thread? It's a beta release (more of an alpha really,) so there's not much help for a while if it doesn't work.

Any Thunderbird addon I can find through OHM was designed for an Orbiter version that's seven years old, so I don't think there's much to do about that either.

I assume you are using Orbiter 2010 (?).

Project Gemini should be compatible with Orbiter 2010. As for launch pad for Gemini look here.

The other than mentioned by Izack [ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3075]Starliner, that I found on OHM[/ame], from what I see, is a simple configuration only vessel, so it should work fine, but I haven't tested it yet.

Thunderbirds complete use spacecraft.dll, which is from year 2003, and they use incompatible with newer Orbiter versions location for vessel configuration files. Though, I think they can be converted to Spacecraft3 vessels, which is compatible with Orbiter 2010.

Project Gemini is 85% compatable with Orbiter with a few little problems, the launch itself though is entirely correct and the most completely working part of the add-on.
