I guessing:
ISS interior is modeled with SSRMS ops
EVAs are now tethered and you must use a system of handholds and tethers to move around.
Damn you for feeding my addiction! Okay, BRING IT ON! ;D
I'm still waiting for the operation of the space toilet. ;)lol
In Space no one can hear you flush...
In Space no one can hear you flush...Inside the shuttle you can hear.
I have had no problems until now following an old save in a new service pack.
But if there were problems, restarting the mission to use all the new cool features (btw, how about a little feature list ;) tease me baby) were not a big problem. I would see the double played parts as a training for the "real" mission with the features of the new SP.

Just found this on the CNN News Wire Service:This was quite entertaining!!!
The next SSM2007 SP launch was delayed in the final phase of the launch count-down Yesterday. Mission Control have identified the problem to a memory leak in the External DLL subsystem. Mission enginers are currently investigating either to fix the problem on the launch pad or rolling back the stack and completely replacing the External DLL with the External DLL for SP 3.90.
A High ranking official at mission control was quoted to have said "We'll be back soon"
In other news NASA scientists are looking to the phenomenon of silent trees falling in rain forest. Once lumber jack said "Darn strange, this tree fell over when I wasn't around, and I didn't hear it". More at Six o'clock...
Finally, NASA have found a cheaper way of fixing a toilet to the celling, but it's still messy and it hasn't decreased the cost of a zero gravity toilet, at $19,999,999.99. However, this includes the cost of delivery and installation to any standard American/Russian/European/Canadian/Japanese Space station in low earth orbit.

LOL! Missed that post!

and thanks bradleyjs for the vote of stickyness. I'll have the five day space weather forecast for you tomorrow... live at five ;)
When I was on work tonight I thought much about what you are up to. You (Admin) has said that next SP will affect some of the missions but not all, and that we are going to be forced to go back to school to learn how to master this.
Now I'm done thinking and have a wild guess (or wishful thinking if you would like to call it that):
Can it be new cockpits with the correct instruments in the shuttles depending on when the missions was flown? :D
Possibles:
Adjustment to RMS shoulder attitude +20 roll at the shoulder. Only affects the RMS operations (which is most, but not all),
Adjustment to Rendezvous navigation.
Adjustments to EVA.
Adjustments to TAEM consistency.
Of course it could be anything else too...
My guess will be RMS ops. It was mentioned a while ago remember. Maybe if we're lucky there will be edits to rendezvous and Docking..Hint : SPEC 33 PRO ITEM 1 EXEC ;D

Nephi, do you have some info we don't? share man! share! :)I thought you were in the Betatest (aka nagging) team Uri ?
SPEC 33 PRO-ITEM 1 EXEC is Rendezvous and Navigation. It is already implemented??Nephi, do you have some info we don't? share man! share! :)I thought you were in the Betatest (aka nagging) team Uri ?
Anyway, what is SPEC 33 PRO ITEM 1 EXEC ? :P
SPEC 33 PRO-ITEM 1 EXEC is Rendezvous and Navigation. It is already implemented??To be accurate, ITEM 1 of SPEC 33 display is "Rendezvous NAVigation". :P
We all know what SPEC33 ITEM1 is..Nephi, do you have some info we don't? share man! share! :)I thought you were in the Betatest (aka nagging) team Uri ?
Anyway, what is SPEC 33 PRO ITEM 1 EXEC ? :P
We all know what SPEC33 ITEM1 is..I didn't say it was a change though :)
I Just wonder what makes you so sure this is the change? you sound so confident....
So I can put in SPEC94 ITEM19????
Only from inside.
But you can't enter
I know this doesn't belong here - but I couldn't find anywhere else to post this:
From the SSM2007 Twitter Site:
"Some Beta Testers are on vacation... hope this won't affect the SP planned release schedule."
What gives them the "right" to take a Summer Break when WE are all counting on them to do their respective jobs!!! ;D j/k This is Summer time and that's what people do ... wish I could take some more time off ... ho-hum... Anyway, I'm excited for the new release. Thanks!
Well, it is especially important that this SP be as free of bugs as possible. If we expect virtual Astros to learn new tricks, we should at least make sure as humanly as possible that they don't ask themselves "is it me or is it a bug?" if/when they fail. So in this case, priority goes for debugging and less on release schedule.On the contrary !! But one cannot prevent himself from growing more and more curious :)
I hope nobody will be losing patience or confidence if we are later than usual
Who said no to any of them? AFAICT very little has been confirmed or ruled out yet.
but the changes and additions we implement in this SP affect almost all missions, so testing takes time...
We're busy fine-tuning the new features and fixing bugs. It will take us some time to add the new features to all the missions though.
In Space no one can hear you flush...
at a guess, an hoping maybe too much, the TORVA (twice orbital rate V-bar approach) and Fly around incorporated into missions?
Some of you were VERY close!
/Admin
...<SNIP>...
Will these new rendezvous methods apply to non-ISS missions too? Meaning HST, LDEF, etc. Likely just exposed more of my orbital rendezvous ignorance, eh.
Where do I find the new updated manual which you are twittering about?
> Final testing on the way and new "Commander's Reference Manual" updated.
F5 repeat has begun on download page ;DPlease don't crash that server, be careful.
Looks like weather did not cooperate:
RC3 released. Testing continues but Launch Control team decided for a 24Hrs lauch scrub. Better safe than sorry. Sorry guys. More to follow.
Wonder were the 24 hour scrub starts at. Just hoping not to have to wait until 4 or 5 pm tomorrow to see the release. :'(
Thanks for keeping us informed and we are happy you want it to be perfect. :)
GC tells me that we aim for noon EDT, tomorrow.At least you could release the manual, to prepare us for launch.
Dont force them, they work very hard, appreciate that instead of forcing them for things

Dont force them, they work very hard, appreciate that instead of forcing them for thingsI did just ask for the manual (in case it is already complete).
and IMHO i think, that facebook and twitter are enough to announce news....no need to do it in forum as well...Where else, when not here in the forum?
....no need to do it in forum as well...Than you might close this thread, might you?
SP 4.00 RC4 relased for testing. Forecast is 80% go for launch. More to follow.
If you donn't connect, please don't complain and try to manage how we make our announcements.
Regarding the manual pre-release - the decision when and what to release is ours alone. Maybe next time we'll shut up and not post ANY KIND of sneak peek behind the curtains. That way nobody will complain 8)
...<SNIP>...
Do what ever you want.
Hey Admin,
Not sure if you know yet or can release it but here i a question.
This is a big SP. I was just wondering i old on orbit saves will work. Like right now I just went through STS-124 and saved at finishing RCC scan and at the point were you start rendezvous so that I could skip all the burns and stuff and go straight for the new stuff. Will these saves work? No big deal if they don't, just asking. :)
I for one am simply amazed at the evolution of this product.
I tracked it for months, pre-launch. And I purchased it T+ 2 to 3 hours post-launch.
I don't get to play it as often as I like, as a matter of fact often I just lift off and enter orbit just to get my dose of imagination to satisfy me when I'm space flight jonesing.
I am in my fifty's and I have lived and breathed the entire US space program. I am a former Air Traffic Controller and I had the privilege of working at Beale AFB from 83 thru 89. The SR-71 was fully active at the time, and I never suffered from a lack of amazement at the majesty of that Aircraft / Spaceship.
I love space and space topics. You can see that at my Blog www.BraunsBlog.com (http://www.BraunsBlog.com). I also love this simulator. It is plain to see the love and dedication to space and space flight that drives this product.
I spent $50.00 for this simulation. I've spent $50.00 on a tank of gas for my Honda, and I've dropped more just for hamburgers and fries when I have taken the entire family out for an outing. I'll never regret investing in this epic journey of commemoration of the Shuttle Program
I guess the purpose of this post is to simply say thanks, and I'm not trying to imply that anyone who has posted here is not thankful, just the opposite. It is clear that all members of this forum share a passion for spaceflight and many things space. I just thought I would add my voice to that chorus.

If this is what you feel, then our task has been accomplished, but we'll keep on working and improving this product nevertheless - we are not 100% yet and we doubt that we'll ever be :)

Believe me, our "suggestions list" is longer than anyone's! But it will take a few more major releases to meet it... SSM2010, SSM2012, SSM2015... and then... well, we'll see :)
