Space Shuttle Ultra 1.25 Revision B development

[DaveS]

Checked in a fixed Ku band DA. I'd love to see the comm mode of the Ku system implemented to really verify the animations. Currently the slewing of the gimbals to the MIP position is part of the initial deploy animation of the Ku band DA when it should really occur during Ku band activation and not Ku band deploy.

Just noticed that the DEA in the Ku-band mesh is also split into 3 different groups. Sorry to keep pestering you about these things.

That's to enable it to use different materials. The DEA itself needs a different material to use environment mapping without affecting the other elements like the cables.

Do you have the offsets for the other meshes (VC, RMS, etc.) to the main Orbiter mesh?

The RMS and Ku band DA should fit without any additional offsets just like before. I don't have any for the STBD MPMs or the VC. The VC is tricky thanks to its high triangle count so I haven't been able to do any detailed measurements.

For the OMS pod mission file parameter, what exactly should be specified in the mission file? Should it define the OMS pod texture or the mesh?

Mesh, as there have been a few iterations before they settled on the current configuration. Make sure the option supports defining different parameters for each OMS pod.

The VC should now be working for the new meshes. I'm still working on the animations and other stuff. It would be helpful if someone could make sure that all the panels are working; I think I fixed all the panels, but I might have missed one.

If someone wants to tweak the position of the cockpit mesh, it's set by the VC_OFFSET constant in Atlantis_defs.h

No issues here, all the implemented switches animate properly.
