OHM XR5 UCGO Cargo Platform v2.0

[OrbitHangar]

Author: woo482

A rather simple addon created as a way of transporting up to 288 UCGO cargos(24 per platform) in the XR5 Vanguard's payload bay, the XR5 can fit up to 6 of these on level one and two, though you have to use the "XR5_UCGOPlatform1_lvl2" vessel on the 2nd level.

Update:
This update includes quite a few new features like:

* The ability to consume cargo to add Fuel or Oxygen to the XR5's tanks
* A Configuration file to change the few user customizable options from their defaults
* XR5 Vanguard version 1.4 and XRVesselCtrl 2.1 APIs support

The manual (XR5_UCGOPayloadPlatformV2.pdf) contains more information on the update and a better description of the added features.

Installation:
Copy the contents of this folder in to your Orbiter root folder, if you're asked to overwrite any files click "Yes"

Usage:
Keys:
"C" = grapple cargo.
"Shift+C" = release cargo.
"9" = select cargo to add.
"Shift+9" = add selected cargo.
"8" = Vessel information, e.g. amount of cargos onboard and their mass.
"Numpad Plus "(+) = Increase payload release velocity.
"Numpad Minus"(-) = Decrease payload release velocity.
"Numpad 5" = Reset release velocity to the configuration file default.
"F" = Consume onboard Fuel cargo.
"O" = Consume onboard Oxygen cargo.

Great job, Woo! :thumbup:

 

[Woo482]

Thanks !

 

[MeDiCS]

Wow, neat!

 

[astrosammy]

24 cargos, wow. UCGO cars have a limit of 20 cargos, so you made your own dll. Nice Job!

 

[Woo482]

I always make my own .dll when I can, it's more fun that way :lol:

 

[Interceptor]

Awesome job as always Woo.Love the holder for the cargos too.

Impressive, one XR5 can now load 3.5 Arrows..... That's one heck of a huge base.

Sorry about the crappy quality and the terrible sound, but i did this rather hastely in order to thank him in time.

I promise i'll make a new one before this weekend.

Thanks woo482, i've been waiting for someone to make this addon.

 

[Woo482]

[Interceptor]

[the.punk]

Building a moon base is now going to be as economical as it can possibly be for me! In fact, A few trips with this can build a new independent multi-generation ummu society anywhere! This will be a major help Woo482!

Load the platform into the XR5 then select it from the vessels list (F3) and the HUD on the platform will give you the keys you need.

I had the exact same problem first time I used it.

 

[Woo482]

Hi, You need to go inside the platform payload (by selecting it from the F3 menu) to see the message and add the cargo, it wont work if you try and do it from the XR2 / XR5

 

[Ark]

Don't forget to turn on the HUD, that threw me off too.

 

[Woo482]

I uploaded a new version of this addon that allows you to carry 144 more cargos by placing them on the 2nd payload level, I think 288 cargos in total should be enough for now :lol:

 

[SlyCoopersButt]

That's really great! Need never worry about having enough of any cargo type again no matter where one goes hehe!
