Hi,
Anyone interested in Mission Specific Checklists?. These mission checklists will continue where the ascent checklist leaves off (COMM 60). Here is an example showing STS 1. Note: As you can see, STS 8 is not complete.
(http://actors-online.net/photos/missions.jpg)
Once you complete the mission specific checklist you would then continue with the Deorbit & Landing checklist (COMM 1000).
It will take some time to complete all of these checklists since I must complete all the missions that SSM2007 has to offer. I will also update the Grapple coordinates as I complete each mission.
If there is an interest in something like this let me know and I'll keep working on it.
Thanks for a "Great Sim"

;) Im totally interested... You really dont mind having to do that? Right on! count me in! ;D

Oh, yes, I’m interested! I could not live without the already available checklists anymore! :)
That’s an occasion to say thank you. Our thanks will eternally be with you, Michael! ;)
But you must think of enjoying the game too ;)
-
that will cause you one hell of a work..
since STS-88 (if I remember correctly) when powering up the Boilers (T-00:50:00)
you turn on the OMS and set the OMS actions switches to ARM\PRESS.
I personally believe that you Checklist and an absolute necessity, yet it's only a reference - not a bible.. it helps me know what stage is next - and on Medium Difficulty it's more then enough - because you got the Full checklist on-screen..
furthermore after more the 15 full missions, I remember most of the steps I even know where I can cut stages and do two or three steps on the same time. (usually is the KU-band, Star-tracker, fuel-cell, GPS on launch and KU-Band and Star-tracker on De-orbit)
next up is running all the missions again on Hard, then I'll let you know who important it is to complete the checklist..

I have finished all the missions, but I would like to try them on hard and this kind of checklist would make it that much more fun. I am interested Michael. Thanks for taking the time to help us out. ;D
-
yes super thanks

Agree! Thanks for your great effort Michael, I am sure everyone will appreciate your new checklists. :)

Michael...
Great job, like the design.
Here is what I found a few days ago, if anyone is interested in "the real things"...

Hi,
Well, 210 views and ten people said they would like to see mission specific checklists. Guess there's not much of a demand for something like this.
Thanks for the input

Michael
I would definitely go for those checklists if you still decide to do them.

John

Michael,
Believe me when I say that there is more interest than what you percieve. Others, like I, didn't think that you where expecting support answers to do the checklists. My appologies to you.

I would also like to see mission specific checklists. In reality they are called Flight Data Files or FDFs for short. Here's a link to the FDFs that NASA has released, and be sure to click the bottom link where it says +Documents from previous shuttle flights for the FDFs from all the post RTF missions(from STS-114 through STS-122):

Fantastic work Michael. Thanks for making such an effort for the community, superb mate :)
-
Michael,
Great job on the checklists, and be assured that I am definitely interested in mission-specific checklists if you take the time to make them. In fact, it seems to me that one for STS-1 could serve as a sort of walk-through for those new to SSM.
Please keep up the good work :)

Hats off Michael,
Excellent job and thank you for supporting SSM2007 in such an original way!

Hey count me in!! Great work! I would love to see these lists. I am working STS 31 on hard. When it came to the Payload Retention Latch release I could not remember what the frak to do!! LOL! So I had to reel it back to Medium to get the instructions. I totally forgot about the Payload Safing on panel C3 so I couldn't get the Hubble unlatched until I went to Meduim. I dug around but could not find a checklist handy. I'm going to try to finish this mission on Hard.
-
Hi Everyone,
Ok, Guess I'll start working on them.
Thanks For A Great Sim
-
Good man Michael, I love your checklists, both for this and other aircraft and appreciate the time it must take you
-
Bring them on, I am for these guides.
-
Excellent!! Really looking forward to them.
I sent you a PM regarding a tutorial / walk-through – looking forward to discussing that, too.
Regards,

Michael,
Just made a post in your other checklist thread about developing this very thing. Actually had a conversation with "Admin" about mission specific Comm # lists from a master list of all comm #'s so that we could manage to interpolate our own mission specific checklists if/when desired with a little help from the powers that be. ;D
Anyway, I added a few corrections to your abbreviated checklists, red items are important, yellow items would be "nice to have" but take or leave my suggestions, I had no idea you were already thinking of working on this as I just discovered this thread.
Wasn't trying to "steal your thunder", lol. I agree completely with you that there is a need for complete and accurate mission specific checklists. It is only with them that playing the game on a setting of "hard" difficulty makes any sense when it comes to realism. Procedures and operations on the space shuttle are not done by memory, I agree completely with you on the need for this project!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Best Regards,
"Greyhawke" :)
