Question Scenario build help

[Eman2005]

I am building a new scenario which will have mutiple shuttles sending up parts of a new space station. The problems I am having are: attaching modules in the shuttle (I have the default shuttle). And are there more than one launch pad at KSC? First off about attaching modules. I was looking at a Atlantis sattelite launch scenario for information. In the file it has:

STS-101:Atlantis
STATUS Landed Earth
BASE Cape Canaveral:11
POS -80.6232502 28.6197342
HEADING 2.00
PRPLEVEL 0:1.000 1:1.000 2:1.000
NAVFREQ 0 0
CONFIGURATION 0
CARGODOOR 0 0.0000
GEAR 0 0.0000
KUBAND 0 0.0000
ARM_STATUS 0.5000 0.0000 0.0000 0.5000 0.5000 0.5000
CARGO_STATIC_MESH Carina_cradle
CARGO_STATIC_OFS 0.000 -1.650 0.050
END


What are the two lines above END. The CARGO_STATIC_MESH and CARGO_STATIC_OFS? The Carina_cradle is a mesh, but later the file says

Carina:Carina
STATUS Landed Earth
ATTACHED 0:0,STS-101
END

Carina is also a mesh. What are the two different meshes for? and If I substituted it for this mesh/module [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3920"]http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3920[/ame]
can I forgo the Cargo_Static Mesh line and the one below it. Then would I just do
ATTATCHED 0:0,STS-101 under the new cfg file for the solar panels?

Thank you!

i think the 2 lines above end are where it sticks inside the payload bay. notice after you release the payload there is a structure that would fit around the payload perfectly.

if you change those i think that ur payload wouldnt sit properly in the bay... or at least it would look horrible

From what It looks like, Cargo static Mesh is just telling orbiter to draw a mesh in there Cargo statis ofs, im assuming, is the offset, or placement, of Carina.

The one below it is actually the mesh part, dont delete the 2nd instance f Carina.

As far as i can tell, if you replace the mesh, you should be good to go. Just make sure you replace EVERYTHING that had Carina to what you are downloading.

Good luck!

And are there more than one launch pad at KSC?

Yes

What are the two lines above END. The CARGO_STATIC_MESH and CARGO_STATIC_OFS?

The CARGO_STATIC_MESH is defined in the .scn because in the stock Atlantis, it loads the mesh of the satellite and base for the satellite. However when you release the satellite, the cradle disappears, and the satellite becomes its own object.

Essentially, all it does is changes the mesh when it is released.

Carina:Carina
STATUS Landed Earth
ATTACHED 0:0,STS-101
END

This is the vessel. This tells Orbiter that the Vessel named Carina of the vessel type Carina is attached to the vessel named STS-101.

Carina is also a mesh. What are the two different meshes for? and If I substituted it for this mesh/module http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3920
can I forgo the Cargo_Static Mesh line and the one below it. Then would I just do
ATTATCHED 0:0,STS-101 under the new cfg file for the solar panels?

Thank you!

Yes for that particular model, you donot need the 'Cargo_Static Mesh line' just the ATTATCHED line. (you may have to change the offset though, so that the mesh doesnot sit through the heat shield.

how do I find the other launch pads?

And thank you for you replys.

And thank you for you replys.

Go to scenario editor.
Select your ship. press edit.
Select location. And then there you see the different landingpads listed.

How exactly do I change the offset. I have two modules in the spacecraft. They are sticking out. Here is a photo.

And here is the code for the two modules.

S6:MBR_ITS/mbr_its6
STATUS Landed Earth
ATTACHED 0:0,STS-128
NAVFREQ 0 0
END
S5:MBR_ITS/mbr_its5
STATUS Landed Earth
ATTACHED 0:1,STS-128
NAVFREQ 0 0
END

Its not under the modules, but under the shuttle, just add;

SAT_OFS_X 0
SAT_OFS_Y 0
SAT_OFS_Z 0

(and you will have to change the values accordingly)
