Space Shuttle Mission Simulator (tm) / Re: Updates??

I just want to thank the admins for the update the other day on the progress of Space Shuttle Mission 2. It was nice to see the update and that progress is still continuing on it. I love Space Shuttle Mission 2007 and I have been checking on the forums for updates for quite a while. I can't wait until the program is finally ready for release to the public. If it is anything like the original, it is going to be great.

Using the keypad on the keyboard: 9 and 3 control the shoulder pitch, / and * control the shoulder yaw, 8 and 2 the wrist pitch, 6 and 4 wrist roll, 0 and . control the wrist yaw, + and - control the elbow pitch, 5 controls the grapple fixture, once for capturing, once to release. Make sure the FLT CONTRL Power switch on the A6U panel is on and the power switch for the RMS on A8L is set to Primary (RMS Power switch).

Thank you for the information!

How do you move the arm without a joystick?

In regards to the first part of the question, other than the monitor, have you also turned on the cameras? If not, use the switches at the top of panel A7U where it says "Camera Power". As for the RMS camera, if you want to switch between the Elbow camera and the End Effector camera, use the bottom right switch located on the Payload Bay Flood lights section of the aforementioned panel.

As for the second part of the question, I don't use a joystick, so I'm not really able to help you, sorry

So I'm at a point where I'm supposed to use the robotic arm to get a satellite out of the cargo bay. It says to turn on the monitor but when I do its only black.
Also when I got external view and move my joystick up and down it looks like the end of the arm is moving a little bit but only that part.

Yeah, very nice update you gave us. The details you introduced us to with this "Latest News" entry are very welcome based on my likings, like, if I understood correctly, real life communications and the greater amount of detail on EVA suits: we went from a couple of "snowmen" with a tiny flag and a red stripe in SSMS07 to properly textured astronauts. Details like these are what adds another level of realism to a sim that I'm sure will be excellent. Talking about details, I remember from the previous game the reflections on the EVA helmet visors being "fake", will they be "realistic" this time, as in be a reflection depending on what actually is inside the FOV at that time? Regardless, I can't wait to try it when it'll be available. Thanks for the update and keep it up
