Question Status Of New AutoFCS?

[Mantis]

I understand that David413 has sadly chosen to retire his excellent shuttle fleet addon and has removed it from OH. That is really too bad and it leaves me wondering what the status of the in-development update of AutoFCS is. Has anyone heard anything about it from David or the author? It would be nice to have that addon at least to compliment the final installment of the Shuttle Fleet series.

This thread is not about Shuttle Fleet, but about status of new AutoFCS.

A link to that post was already posted in a couple of other threads. There's no need to repost it in every thread.

I for one hope that AutoFCS continues to be developed. It was a great tool, and it being ported over to 2010p1 can only be a good thing. An improved AutoFCS would surely be a great thing.

Heres the truth, I asked for this same question too, David413 said that he was trying to contact Mike, the creator but I have never heard of one single report of progress after that, either that or Dave is lieing to get it off of his back

What is AutoFCS?:huh:

 

[Cras]

It is an autopilot for the de-orbit of the Space Shuttle. It will perform the burn and fly all the way down to the runway.

That sounds like magic :speakcool:

I think David mentioned something at one point about the new version being able to do rendzevous and docking operations as well.

I recall this as well. I was under the impression of it including the capability of the old STS Guidance MFD, if you remember that. Could perform orbital burns, and rendezvous burns automatically.

Here is a msg from David413: about the shuttle fleet no longer on OH:

I don't know if the standard Atlantis, the standard DG, works with Afcs ( and dedicated ini ) and the P1 version ?
