FSX Space Shuttle Launch

Featured Replies

Hi all,I wonder if anybody can help me out - I'm trying to use Bruce Fitzgerald's superb freeware Atlantis Space Shuttle to do a launch from one of the launch pads just off KXMR. I've read that you must use slew mode (key 9/ key 0 to rotate) to position the shuttle for launch, but every time that I try and do this I get the following problems:

  1. The shuttle will not balance when held up vertically, it falls so that the SRBs drop below the fsx ground, then the shuttle topples over and lays on it's belly
  2. When I exit slew mode, the shuttle always accelerates forwards, even if I shut the engines down before hand, meaning that even if i were to fix 1., upon exiting slew it takes off by itself!
  3. The shuttle wont stand on top of the launch pad - it just drops below the scenery object

I don't know if 1. and 3. can be fixed by adding contact points into the aircraft.cfg? If so can somebody please talk me through as I'm not an expert. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. :(

Regards,

 

Harry Grassom
