Direct Ascent to the ISS!

[DocHoliday]

Sounds good. Oh, and don't worry about the EXACT timing, I think I can adjust a few seconds up and down without
considerable problems. As long as it sounds natural, it's fine.

OK. I'll work out the others later. I'd like to listen to the tone of that ATC guy before I go on with the conversation. it
makes it easier to visualise in my head, and thus the sarcasm can be regulated and adjusted to fit the conversation.
we certainly don't want the thing to sound like it was recorded individually all over the world without any of the
people hearing the others' voice. we gotta sound syncronous and all that good stuff..

[DocHoliday]

Hehe, I'd forgotten about this thread:
http://orbiter.dansteph.com/forum/index.php?topic=9874.msg156264#msg156264

But Gene and I were actually discussing this thing months ago Wonder where he is. Haven't seen his posts in a
while.

My voice is in your inbox Doc. Sorry I sent two, it is just I keep on forgetting to attach the attachments I want on the
e-mail. Ah well.

[McBrain]

Hey Doc, I'm very sorry to say that, but I can't take part making voices. I have a VERY terrible hay fever, and you won't understand anything! Sry.

[DocHoliday]

Ah well, this won't be finished tomorrow, so you can still join the fun

Anyway, I think we should split the stories in two or three separate threads.
1. The "official" thread, which is mostly the ATC-pilot exchange for briefing purposes
2. The "interference running", where passengers and other people interfere with the pilots work, sarcasm ensues
3. The "background noise", various passenger-passenger exchanges or additonal info, meant mostly for the humor

What do you guys think?

Cheers,

(wish we could have separate sigi's for different threads or at least forums)

Sorry about the size of my sample. I think I had it set to highest quality possible. I promise to avoid sending you
something that big in future.

[freespace2dotcom]

How big was it krytom!? I sent about a 500K file and a 250K file! surely you didn't send something bigger than a
meg!

.......

.... right?

[Krytom]

It was..........................4 megs big!!!!!!!!!!8o8o8o8o8o8o8o
I should have checked before sending really. I'll just say sorry again. Sorry

[Atom]

Mine was one meg. That's all.

[DocHoliday]

Nah, it's no problem. I have a huge connection at work. If I were to receive this at home, it would hurt .)

Anyway, we are set, so we need to work out the story

yo
iv tried to make the direct ascent program and play it on a dgIII Pre packeged scenario, but the flight computer said
that it was an invalid entry!

Can i get instructions on istalling the ascent program right

the senario is Landed KCS departure to ISS

please respond quickly please

i cant fly crap let alone sync an orbit!

Define huge. I'm thinking it's definately faster than what I have, but I'm not a 56k'er anymore. I have the fastest dls
my area can support, which is a slow 150 KB a sec. why, it takes me a whole minute to download an mp3!
that's outrageously long! I want instant downloads that max out my hard drive's ability to write to disk!

The commands you probably copied on this thread you need to save in a text file called  pro905spec.txt and put that
file into <orbiter directory>\Sound\deltagliderIII\PROG where there is already a pro903spec.txt file.

NOTE: This autopilot will get you in a rougly 350km circular orbit. It will not get you close to the station or sync orbit
with it, unless the station is in the right position when you take off. I have set up a package for that, but it is
currently offline, as I am working on upgrading it. So basically, you will not be closer to docking to ISS appart from
launching into an orbit with a roughly same altitude.. Sorry.

Cheers,
