11/23/2023 0 Comments Flightgear s not startign engineSome Bus Tie are available to link a Good Bus to the bad one and provides power like if nothing happened. Basically, a loss of a main Bus will lead to a shutdown of the associated Fuel Cell later on. I had a look to non normal checklist concerning those kinds of failures, quite time consuming, but interesting to have an idea of what need to be done and what system will be concerned by associated Buses. Quite very realistic I tried a nice scenario, some failures with Fuel Cells and Main Buses, very interesting. A copy a full scenario I ran 2 months ago with electrical failures during first stage leading to collateral failures and RTLS. Don't hesitate if you have further questions Space Sunset Hope you enjoyed this small show off of what is possible to do with this sim. Calm, Stormy or Foggy conditions/ Head, Tail or Crosswind winds, no limits to your imagination Here at ELS Eastern Island Breaking the Storm at Honolulu More conventional one at KSC Night landing with Touch Down Zone Lights. Let's finish with some TAEM and Landings You can try Official, Emergency and whatever landing sites you wish. Note that during, Voice update from MCC are available to fix the State Vector early on. I tried it during entry, no Kalmann filter ( TACAN, MLS, GPS.), State vector degraded a bit and guidance was not optimal, you can see on the HUD where the Shuttle thinks the runway is, and where the runway really is. One thing that I love is the implementation of a realistic State Vector that can degrade over time if IMU are not align or Filter are not used. Houston we got a problem, OPS 6 and RTLS guidance OMS to RCS interconnect and dump, all AFT RCS firing at the same time to dump OMS Tanks, very realistic Or if you prefer, TAL Abort is also available Houston, we got a real problem Dark Cockpit after loss of two main buses 3 minutes after lift off, which led to one Engine Shut down, Engine Lock up, Electrical re organisation and shedding, and RTLS abort. Not activating cooling via FES or Radiator can lead to Systems overheating and destruction. A morning Launch in Florida Shadows and light game The working office Same but fully lighted Aurora Borealis at 500 kfeet On Orbit view with HD Textures Bay lights warming up, Some GPC work for OMS burn System Management Major Function, almost every parameters work. Proximity OPS with ISS are also available, with Good use of Star tracker and RR Radar like in real, really demanding to stick by the book to a real TORVA It's truly amazing how usefull becomes Nasa Workbooks with this simulator Some more In Game High lights. DPS implementation covers almost all the OPS ( 1.2.3.6), both GNC and SM functions, and BFS as well. ) All the aborts (intact and contigency) are available and Autopilot well modelized, you can try a RTLS or a Contigency abort 2Engine Out Green to the Bermuda. Pretty much every systems are modelized and work together ( Electrical, Thermal, Environmental etc) You can experience dozens of failures ( APU/ Fuel Cells/ Freon Loop,GPC,IMU. You can also start everywhere on the Earth, to see the effect of a Polar Launch or a high altitude launch in Quito performance wise for example ( educationnal purpose.) It's a Golden Mine for Shuttle lovers. Here you can find a Launch tutorial using real Flight Data Files, from T-9mn until Post insertion actions, to see how close to Nasa procedure we can go It is not a Mission Simulator, but you can create your own realistic scenario to reproduce a real mission, with limited payload. You can experience over G's, Over EAS or Over Temperature leading to destruction. Here the Wiki page to see the work: Main Forum page: And some infos here how space environment was created in a Flight Sim: It is really a " True" Simulator of the Shuttle, by true I mean that a lot of public and officials data from Nasa were injected into the Flight Model. Here the link to Flight Gear : Here to learn more about the heart of the project: One project that had some very talented developpers was to reproduce the Shuttle, its systems, behavior and flight model Started in 2015, the project is now reaching a mature phase, with a lot to do in a very realistic ( graphic and physical wise) Space Environment. I played a lot to SSMS 2007 and Orbiter, then I discovered a few months ago Flight Gear Simulator, a kind of free and collaborative flight simulator available on Linux, Mac and Windows. And I wanted to talk to you about Flight Gear and its Space Shuttle Simulator for those who don't know. I Have been a Space Shuttle enthousiast for years now, like a lot of you I guess.
