Installation
Currently there is no automatic installation. Unzip the file
REDSHIFT-0.2b.zip
into the Orbiter installation folder. The next time you start Orbiter, select
the Modules tab and activate the REDSHIFT module.
The example mission can be flown without any additional addons, so it works with
a "vanilla" Orbiter installation. If you want to try the Ariane5 mission, you
need Vinka's Multistage.dll
and Ariane5 example. If you want to try the SpaceShuttle mission, you should
use ShuttleAtlantis V2.0 - I had best results with that shuttle.
Upgrade
As you can see, REDSHIFT is in an early development stage and so a lot of bugs and glitches
are found by people using it. I try to fix these problems as soon as I can - but this results
in a frequent release of new versions.
To minimize download size for people trying new versions and that have the "standard"
package (Version 0.2a) already installed, the latest upgrade
REDSHIFT-Upgrade-0.2b.zip
can be downloaded here (please unzip the archive into the ...\Orbiter
folder of your installtion).

Bugfixes:
-
Reentry: Crash at process start fixed.
-
SyncOrbit: Main engine burn problem fixed.
-
Atlantis: Put the wrong files into 0.2a (sorry). Modified FOP
to make use of new Profile parameters.
-
Launch: Mode "Hover" - Smooth operation of hover thrust during lift-off and
delay of re-orientation until safety altitude is reached.
Changes:
-
Profile: The Ascent processor has two new parameters. MaxG
limits the acceleration to a defined limit and LockVz controls
the pitch at the "end" of the profile to keep a vertical velocity close to zero.
