New SP.....nice!
« on: November 23, 2009, 03:50:03 AM »
You guys(and gals?) never cease to amaze me! I was just thinking the other day how it would be cool to see through the windows from the exterior and look what we have!? You read my mind, though I'm sure this was in the planning stage for some time. Thanks and great job....again.  ;)

Actually, this evening I was going to learn for my exams next week (on Tuesday and Wednesday - industrial clerk), until I've read about the new features pack and especially that one: Virtual cockpit + Astronauts visible from outside and Improvements to the Space Shuttle 3D model – more detail. Just four words: I love this Simulation. And of course also the team behind it. Amazing!

I didn't check it yet but I'm going to do so within the next 20 minutes. Now that my dual OS system is fully working again, I can finally enjoy SSM07 at its best again (without those Windows 7 issues) :)

It seems that last week I had founded out this new feature by zooming on a picture published by Uri (certainly made with a beta version of this service pack).
Now, when you turn around the shuttle, it's very realistic to see the inside of the cockpit. Thanks again for all the team for these continuous improvements.

Just a quick question if I may,  is Mission pack 4.20 the latest SP and does it update all the previous SP and mission addons?
Yours in Space,

Yeah, they are still cumulative, which means, that they contain every previous one. The new titelling should only tell what kind of features/missions there will be included.

Well, after having tested the latest features pack and so the latest version of SSM2007, I have to say this simulation is going to become more and more awesome. There is absolutely no comparable peace of software anywhere, but that's not a news and secret anway I think :)

By the way, is there a full features list available for any new release? I've noticed that there is a new procedure right after OMS 1, which is to set the ADI attitude to inertial. Since I'm using my own detailed NASA-style checklists, it would be great to read about those changes in order for being able to update my checklists immediately.

I have looked at the new service pack from pictures posted here on the forum but, I started for the first time STS-128...finally. :o And i'm afraid that if I install that right now, it will compromise the mission. But I'm looking foward to installing this service pack. I already did download the latest service pack. ;D

Don't visit the forum much but saw the news of the SP on Facebook so installed when it came out.

Fantastic work guys.

Possible future feature to enhance the "outside looking in"? - if you use external view when in part of the mission that uses the Aft panels at the time - could we see the astronaut(s) standing there with their backs to us?  ;)  :p

Regardless, keep up the good work - much appreciated.
