Author Topic: Retro for PB Shuttle ? (Read 4042 times)

Good day

I'm a a neewbee and I'm following Trevor Johns's tutorial. So i fly with the small PB Shuttle.
Unfortunately there's no reverse thrust (exept the one with the "9" key which is only useful for
very fine adjustement). That means that when i do "-" or "ctrl - " nothing happens !

Does any body knows how to get a powerful retro on the PB ?

thanks :o)

Simpy, just turn retrograde and fire the main engine. Good practice for ships that doesn't have
retro engines.

Keep in mind that our very own space shuttle has no retro thrusters either.

I answered your post in the Orbiter forum on M6.net. I have a .dll for the PB with retro. Just sent
an email with it attached. It's not a virus so don't delete it.

Look in your Orbiter/Modules folder for a file named: "ShuttlePB.dll", copy that into a backup folder
somewhere for safe keeping and drop the new file into the Modules folder and your PB will have a
retro thruster.

Thanks for the .dll then. I downloaded it some time back, about two Windows 98 reinstalls and
one hard drive crash to be exact.

I didn't have the link to where I originally got it but I've used it
almost exclusively. It's probably the first mod I install in Orbiter right after Orbiter Sound. It really
helps when you are making precision maneuvers.
