Whats up, I'm actually an old member from way back when

[count_volta]

Hello, I have actually joined the orbiter community in around 2003 or so. My username was originally ubaku if anyone remembers.

My name is Eugene, I am a student of electrical engineering at a fine American university. My dream is to work for Nasa, although I doubt I can get the 3.8 gpa or whatever that they require. :lol:

I was always obsessed with space and Nasa. Recently I got excited about it again after watching, "When we left earth". Of course after watching that you pretty much have to play orbiter. And so I did, and here I am.

I am looking for old mods that I can't find. Maybe someone can point me to where I can obtain them.

First of all, this launchpad. Cant find it at avsim.

Second of all, there was a pack with space shuttle missions for Atlantis, Discovery,Endeavour, etc where you don't have to do anything until you are in orbit. Meaning the autopilot does the entire launch for you, and CORRECTLY (something which I can't do).

It also included some nice radio chatter taken directly from the missions. What I'm looking for is not Shuttle Fleet 4.2, its an older mod.

And another thing, I downloaded Hi res KSC from orbiter hangar, and I love it, but only one problem. The launchpad disappears when you install it. Or rather, the launchpad is no longer at the default location of the shuttle.

Thank you for the help guys.

Welcome back to the fold.
Sorry that I can't help with your shuttle mod quests, perhaps a search for Thorton's ISS add-on requirements may help. If not that then Donomy's stuff? Just a guess.
My daughter wrote a pretty good paper on Count Volta, so, I'm diggen the screen name.
Happy Orbiting dude!:thumbup:

You've forgotten much grasshopper , maybe you're refering to Gazza's STS version. I don't believe it is compatible witht he new Orbiter though.

Well I'm okay with using Shuttle Fleet 4.2. But I absolutely must have that launchpad!!! Why didn't Dr Martin include it in the latest version of Orbiter?

And how about the KSC mod problem?

Hi there, welcome.

I'm not sure about the old shuttle you speak of, it's probably so far out of date now you wouldn't be able to use it with new stuff anyway. I'd say the launch pad wasn't included in the new Orbiter primarily because Martin doesn't own the rights to that launch pad. The hi-res KSC overwrites the default KSC so you loose the default launch pad. In addition, the hi-res KSC is properly placed based on sat images and as I understand it the default KSC launch pad is not. If you use Shuttle Fleet and the expansion pack then you will get a nice launch pad even with hi-res KSC textures.

Personally if I was the author of that launchpad I would give it to Dr. Martin and ask him to put it into Orbiter. Its so much better than the default one.
