Hello again all,
Well, it's been a while, but I've re-caught the Orbiter bug, and I'm trying to make some time in between my busy
endeavours of the day to fool around with it a bit. Too long a story to explain my extended hiatus--suffice to say
personal matters intruded. Orbiter IS just a game (ack! no, sim!), after all.....doing home renovations and so on
takes precedence in my warped, twisted, albeit real world.
So now I throw myself on the mercy of my fellow DanOrbinauts. I'm trying to use the 3.8.2 shuttles, and everything's
great except for one thing--MMU's. Maybe someone can help me?
Here's what I have. Raw install (base + patch), plus OS3.0, plus vinka's spacecraft2/multistage2 package, plus 3.8.2
shuttles. I go to any 3.8.2 shuttle scenario (assume I've chosen one with the shuttle already in orbit). I press K to
open the doors, then E to launch the EVA.
If I do this in external view mode, I can see the MMU immediately apparent, ever-so-slightly drifting upwards. Neat
model. Everything's great so far.
I press F3 and choose "Discovery_MMU" from the ships list. My view switches to an external view that centres
around the MMU. But guess what? The MMU mesh is now missing!
I can control the MMU, translate, rotate, etc. But it's invisible. No mesh.
Any ideas? I've racked my brain but can't think of the simple thing that I must be doing wrong.
Thanks everybody...and it's great to be (somewhat) back.
Dave
p.s. If anyone's seen Dan around, send him a radio communique and have him get in touch with me...he must have my email address on ignore or something
lol!
