Installation

Currently there is no automatic installation. Unzip the file REDSHIFT-0.2c.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 one of the rocket or SpaceShuttle missions, you need some extra stuff installed (see Links for more information).

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-0.2c.zip can be downloaded here (please unzip the archive into the ...\Orbiter folder of your installtion).

v0.2c July, 19. 2003 03:00 CEST Bugfixes:
  • Launch: Multi-vessel support broke the rocket launch mode - fixed.

  • Profile: Unaligned ascent if no reference plane is defined.

  • FltOp Manager: New name for the REDSHIFT MFD in the selection menu
