Hi!
I haven't played/followed orbiter for a while (3 years), and i have some questions:
Are there any lua scripts(or something) for space station automatic rotation stabilization (for example ISS against gravity torque, because cheating with scenario editor before docking to stop it's rotation isn't a nice method :) )?
How does the out of the box atlantis working now? In orbiter 2006 times it's flight model was very unrealistic (too much lift, and inefficient elevators, elevator trims, just as DG was), but somewhere i heard it's using the Shuttle Fleet model since 2009 or something. Is that true, or i just dreamed about it? :D
 
well, the iss does have an RCS system to allow it to do just that, as well as avoiding space debris, just press f3, go to the ISS, then press numberpad 5 (or the kilrot button) to kill the rotation for as long as there is torque acting on it

and im not sure about the atlantis model compared to the 2006 version, but i think its quite realistic now (but dont take my word for it)

and btw, :welcome: back!
 
I know that iss have rcs, but need something that don't needs to switch to it, what is stabilizing it without user access.
 
You can use the remote control window, so you don't have to switch focus to the ISS.
To get to it press F4, then "Custom", and select it.

ah yes, but you need to enable RControl in the modules tab to make it appear, then press CTRL-F4 to open the custom function box, then select RControl.
 
You can use the lua terminal MFD, and run
Code:
vessel.get_interface('iss'):set_navmode(NAVMODE.KILLROT)

using a period where I put a colon above will get you a CTD, so be careful. Even without that, I like Grover's way better, look at what you see as a safety readout on the video call you placed to ask them to light killrot. What's wrong with the quick F3, clickie, KP5, ctrl-F3?
