When entering the initiator command in the aft side station, it does not show. Entering the digits after that show where they should, and the whole line shows, after the terminator command is given. The SCOM says the initiator entry should flash until the termination command given.

No issues here... and there shouldn't be any difference between that keyboard and the other 2.

No issues here either. Everything good.
 
I suppose I can pretend it's there. :hmm:

Something to test. Let me know if I forgot anything.

STS-88 For SSU 5.0
You should change the config files to point to their respective SC* modules. As it is now, they all point to GenericVessel which isn't available anymore.
 
They all point to SC3, don't they ?
 
Ah, I didn't know that. Did you try changing them ?
 
If you grapple the Unity and move it to the berthing position, you will see the problem with the attachment going out of plane.

Not much we can do about it as it seems to be a bug in the Orbiter core that is handling attachment points. The only one who can fix that would be the Dr.
 
Is the scenario STS-107 De-orbit in the Hystorical misions folder working properly?
The deorbit burn targets are already inputted (same values as the scenario description) but I have the impression that TIG is way too early for KSC re entry. Also after transitioning to OPS304 and well before E.I. shuttle starts rolling to the left and keeps doing that all the way down (roll induced by the RCS system with P and R in AUTO)

The trajectory is most likely off. It was a best estimate based on actual historic orbiter position for TIG. I have never experienced any control issues during any entries.

So is it possible that the LOC is due to the wrong trajectory that the DAP is unable to cope with? Has anyone tried that scenario? I am just starting to familiarize with SSU so chances are I'm doing something very wrong...

Could be. But even so, the Aerojet DAP should be able to make up for the longer distance. One thing though is that you have to use the Scenario Editor to "dump" IE remove all the propellant from the FRCS tanks. Normally this would be done using the FRCS DUMP command items available in MM302 (ITEMs 36-38). This would cause the FRCS lateral jets to fire in order to get rid of the desired amount of FRCS propellant.

So I tried the scenario in question, and for some reason upon transition to MM304, a left roll is immediately commanded, even if the orbiter is well above EI altitude.

At least I am not the only one... have you tried it after adjusting the scn file as suggested by you?
 
DaveS,

here is the Orbiter.AC file

I fixed the scaling of the area behind the side windows.

I checked it out and there's a problem. You seem to have used the current mesh that is included with SSU and that's not right. You need to use the one I included with zip file I linked to in my PM. The reason for this is that it has a boatload of fixes and changes that the current one doesn't, not the least to the overall size of the orbiter.
 
Is it the one without the OMS pods ?

Yes. I only have one zip file in my Dropbox named "New_Orbiter.zip" and it contains the new Orbiter.ac (Not Orbiter2.ac) along with two new WIP textures, Discovery_9thmod_rev2.dds and Columbia_original_rev2.dds.
 
ok, I'll check again
