for the STS-143 scenario only the URMS is required available here

Cool! I like the URMS very much, because it's faster than others. Can't wait to handle it! :lol:

Great pictures Tex! Only problem is that you left the SLP on the station after undocking! D: Don't worry I'll smooth that out though with a real cool EVA/RMS operations later on, I'll have the RMS grapple the SLP for the Dragon 8 mission and release it into orbit then use the Dragon 6 vehicle to burn its engines to slowly get away from the SLP. Again Tex -- sorry for the difficulties (I expected them, STS-143 was a real hard one)

LOL! Thanks mate. That's so bad it's worth a double face palm.. :facepalm::facepalm:

LOL That's what checklists are for. :lol: Great pics btw!

Are there any plans to add a russian docking port to the station? Soyuz/Progress could be useful for ferry flights too.

I don't know about Soyuz/Progress flights, but a module will be added on STS-145, the PTV docking module, wich is basically a Soyuz/Progress docking module with a different name, so yes, there will be russian docking ports on the station! :thumbup:

Soyuz/Progress can't reach OFSS2 as OFSS2 is in a 28.5 degree inclination. That being said, a module for PTV, Antares, CTV/ATV will be added,

You can from Kourou.

 

[Kyle]

You can from Kourou.

Good point! I imagine then eventually a Progress or a Soyuz will dock to OFSS2.

Well, if that happens, Diogo M reporting for duty! :lol: Soyuz is my favourite spacecraft.

 

[Grover]

id love to be a part of this!

one problem- i cant fly the shuttle manually.

as an alternative, i could definatley join in if the Antares is available to OFSA [Orbiter Forum Space Agency] or whatever you've decided to call yourselves. i can fly that manually, (its essentially a bigger dragon, launching from a fictive Jarvis L (or jarvis B), i actually thought they were the same till recently)

so, how about it, i could be the contractor to fly supplies up when your craft are grounded :lol:.

 

[Tex]

LOL That's what checklists are for. :lol:

The checklist didn't tell me to bring it back. :shrug: I already gave Kyle suggestions for better instructions and the possibility of screen shot examples like I did with the original OFSS. :tiphat:

 

[Kyle]

Samuel Edwards, you'll be getting your scenario shortly.

 

[HAL9001]

Hello

I'm new to OFSS and I don't know how sign-up works here, but I flew an OFMM-lite-mission and I would like to sign-up for some missions here.

Greetings, HAL

Just say you want a mission and you'll get it.

Sent you a PM.

 

[C3PO]

HAL9001? Will that be an unmanned mission? :lol:

 

[C3PO]

How about posting a scenario with the completed station?

And will we be switching to STS v4.7?

I have 30 some odd scenario's complete and for me the space station isn't even completed yet. I plan on this project lasting throughout the year, maybe if I'm lucky into 2012. Right now.. I'd say 1/2 of it is done. I'm just getting to the backbone of power for the OFSS2, getting that complete. Also Antares, Orion, Soyuz, Progress, CTV/ATV, have yet to be added!

 

[C3PO]

I was just thinking of a "currently planned finished station". It's good to have some idea of the goal. It doesn't mean that it can't be changed.

I suspect the finished project will look like the ISS, only much larger and much more room.

It will dwarf the space shuttle.

Samuel, heads up that your mission is tomorrow.
