Installation

Currently there is no automatic installation. Unzip the file REDSHIFT-0.2f.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.

v0.2f Sep, 18. 2003 7:30 CEST Bugfixes:
  • Docking:
    Core parts of the docking processor have been rewritten to allow docking vessels with arbitrary docking directions (until now only "nose docking" was possible). This limitation is gone; the new feature is used in the two new scearios that comes with this version: Hermes (tail docking) and SpaceShuttle (top docking).
