Welcome here David and thanks for your kind word  :beer:
Arrow and UCGO are planned yes, see the first post there is a "timeline".

No "patreon" or anything like that, but you can subscribe to my youtube channel and soon I'll be famous and make a lot of $$$

1 - Orbiter 2016 installed to see what´s new
2- Checked Dan´s addons were unavailable for this version.
3- Back to Orbiter 2010.

There´s something unique about your work Dan, I tried to play this new Orbiter version to realize I cannot enjoy if I´m unable to use UMMU, love so much to "be" out there...

Thanks for your efforts.

Count another youtube subscriptor!! hell yeah.

I'm still working on scenarios and sound to make them better and various stuff. (I cleared a "mach bang" bug)
I added some new scenario commands, you'll find the actual complete list below.
Now you can also control RCS, change focus, delete vessel so a scenario with "AI" or "Bot" vessel is possible.

Here below is the "online check message" when there is an update. The delay by default will be 20 day, as said above there's nothing external to orbiter, the check will be done only when you launch it.



The documentation:


And the full list of Scenario Commands:

Code: [Select]

  ;-----------------------------------------------------------------
  ; Preliminary note:
  ; -----------------
  ; All music, sounds and commands are TEMPORARY just for one scenario.
  ;
  ; Note:
  ; -All commands must be inside a scenario between "BEGIN_OrbiterSound" and "END" tag.
  ; -Up to 200 commands are allowed.
  ; -Timed commands are sorted by time, no need to write them in exact sequence, this
        is VERY usefull to group long sections of commands (by vessel, by type etc).
  ; -Time command ("T:") can be float (for example "T:5.5" is 5500 milliseconds).
  ; -Time command ("T:") can be relative to the previous command's time (for example "T:+4").
  ; -Time <3 seconds is not recommended as Orbiter take time to load everything.
  ; -If something don't work, check for "ERROR" in OrbiterSound_log.txt.
  ; -All your sounds must be in your "Sound\_CustomScenarioSound\***" directory.
  ; -You can add comments or unactivate a command with ";" keyword.
  ;-----------------------------------------------------------------

  ;-----------------------------------------------------------------
  ; IMPORTANT:
  ; ---------
  ; This should come first before any other sound command !
  ; Its your addon's music and sound folder located
  ; in "Sound\_CustomScenarioSound\" (Example: "Sound\_CustomScenarioSound\OrbiterSoundDemo")
  ; Of course if you don't use any sound, this is not mandatory.
  ;
  ;SCENARIOSOUNDFOLDER OrbiterSoundDemo

  ;-----------------------------------------------------------------
  ; Mute the music. If you use ADDTOPLAYLIST or INSERTTOPLAYLIST below this command
  ; is ignored.
  ;
  ;MUTEMUSIC

  ;-----------------------------------------------------------------
  ; Mute the VHF radio (radio chatter)
  ;
  ;MUTEVHFRADIO

  ;-----------------------------------------------------------------
  ; Immediate check of OrbiterSound Update (See demo scenario "OrbiterSound update check")
  ;
  ;CHECKORBITERSOUNDUPDATE

  ;-----------------------------------------------------------------
  ; Offset commands time
  ;
  ; This may be usefull wen you write very long sequence and want to insert, offset or
  ; delete a sequence without modifying every command's time.
  ;
  ; Note: Every commands >that follow this one in the script< will have their time modified
  ;       by the amount set. When you offset a sequence, don't forget to reset the offset to "0"
  ;       after the sequence.
  ;
  ; OffsetTime:# = offset time positive or negative in second. (valid: -600 to +600)
  ;
  ;OFFSETCOMMANDSTIME OffsetTime:21
  ;OFFSETCOMMANDSTIME OffsetTime:-5
  ;OFFSETCOMMANDSTIME OffsetTime:0

  ;-----------------------------------------------------------------
  ; Play Timed sound One
  ;
  ; Note:
  ; -Two playsound stream can play in same time, see PLAYSOUND_TWO.
  ;  This allow you to play for example a complete launch sound in exterior view and another for interior.
  ; -You can have up to 200 commands "PLAYSOUND_*", so you can also comment a replay flight or anything you can imagine.
  ; -External Sound volume is NOT controlled by distance and pressure.
  ; -Only mp3 or ogg format will play with this command.
  ; -Time < 3 seconds is not recommended as Orbiter take time to load everything.
  ;
  ; T:# = time in second since start of simulation OR "+" for offset since last command (eg: "T:+4" )

  ; Force Current Active Music and settings (not recommended)
  ;
  ; OrbiterSound usually remember the last song played by the user and the last 'Volume' and 'Mode' set by the MFD.
  ; This command will force the users's Mode, Volume and current song.
  ; Note:
  ; This command is very agressive because it change the user's setting. It was done only
  ; for the purpose of the scenario "How to use MFD" but may annoy the user if you use it often.
  ; The song must be in Mp3 directory, if the user erase the song, this command will be ignored.
  ; For a demo of this parameter see the demo scenario "How to use MFD".

I can't wait for the UMMU and UCGO updates!  The new Orbitersound looks awesome, but I REALLY miss not being able to use the UMMU and UCGO in 2016!  There are some UCGO alternatives out there, but they don't have the acceptance that your work does.  And there IS no replacement for UMMU!  I can't wait to see the updated spacecraft, too!  It has not been clear to me how compatible the 2014 versions are, so I have hesitated to install them on the 2016 Orbiter.  Please, keep up the good work!

Much thanks, yes I'll have a lot of horrible globish texts to correct, any help would be much appreciated.
Usually I do it last but if you want I can send you the next alpha so you can test and have a pre-look.

I'm reworking now the basic sounds.

Until now OrbiterSound only had pressure and distance taken in account in external view.
The volume was lower due to the distance but the frequency was steady (apart with the ground camera that had also Doppler)

In reality far away from the source, the atmospheric turbulence, wind and difference in density and temperature damper and change the volume and frequency by burst. I wanted to mimic that and my first quick test show that it's much better even if it's not an effect that you'll really notice, it will simply sound more natural in the distance.

I plan to try to add more sounds during atmospheric flight to make the sound more complex, but no promise yet.

The real physic of aircraft sound is a nightmare: speed of sound, pressure, compression, temperature, venturi ,harmonics, there would be enough calculus to put any PC down, so I'll try to mimic some effects with quick cheat but there is no guaranty.

While waiting, a very cool real video of SpaceX sonic boom... The whole video is interesting:

Oh man this just keeps getting better and better! 

BTW Dan, I've been experimenting with a different way to animate mmu meshes. Here is a test video:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdKcrKeVvco" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdKcrKeVvco</a>

When the time comes for the UMmu update, I hope you'll perhaps consider trying something like this.
As always, I'll help in any way I can.

That look stunning !  :eek:
Skinned mesh ?

For sure I'll ask you when doing UMmu.  :top:

Skinned mesh ?

Spacecraft3 animation  :)

The each group in the mesh is one frame of the animation (19 frames/groups in total). With a single material and a single texture, there was no noticeable performance hit.

All the groups start ~ 1000 meters away from the center and for every animation frame I fetch the group I want to the center, keep it there for ~1/24th of a second, send it back 1 km away and so on. I also tied the animation speed to the main thrust level and the result was pretty good as you can see.

Another way to do it, is to save each animation frame as a separate mesh and call it with insert_mesh(index=0), but this has a significant performance impact.

I saw some "blinking" is that an artifical glitch or ?
Did you test with SetMeshVisibility of something like that. The main mesh contain all frame in mesh group and you "enable/disable" one group at a time.

Thanks guys!

The blinking is a simple timing issue. On this next video I fixed it. The running animation has no blinking and  the... ahem other animation has one skipped frame at the end of its cycle.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExbukwgH-Iw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExbukwgH-Iw</a>

I am in the middle of streamlining the process, using a blender script to batch import .obj files into a single mesh and using a spreadsheet to auto-create the animation components.

Hopefully I'll be able to publish a tutorial sometime next weekend.

Looking forward to that tutorial soonest. Thank you very much.

Any thoughts on how to adjust so you don't lose the feet to just under the surface on the running test?

NEWS spacecraft4 and spacecraft3 native support

spacecraft4  & 3 is an addon that allow anyone to create a vessel without C++.

It has some OrbiterSound function but was not able to play animation sound and it was somewhat limited to the basics sounds. The new OrbiterSound will give full access to all functions of vessel configuration.
(see "Sound/_CustomvesselsSound")





What's next:
I'll work to clean and redo some help & documentation, maybe add one or two features, then hire more beta testers (the actual thread is almost dead) and release the last closed beta. If all is well there will be a public beta then release.
