AutoFCS is an extension for Orbiter, which allows precise reentries with winged vehicles.
Installation
In order to use AutoFCS with Orbiter 2006, some editing of the configuration files must be done, as follows (credit to dtinc155):
First off, you need to modify the Earth.cfg in the main config folder. The Surfbase section needs to read like this:
; === Surface Bases === ; place additional bases or ; base directories in this list BEGIN_SURFBASE DIR Earth\Base Canaveral: -80.675000 +28.520800 ;80°40'30.00"W 28°31'14.88"N Edwards: -117.838620 +34.918400 ;117°50'19.03"W 34°55'6.24"N END_SURFBASE
Then MOVE the canaveral.cfg and edwards.cfg from the \config\earth\base directory to the main config directory.
Third modify both the Canaveral.cfg and the Edwards.cfg file so that the LOCATION line is commented out. (Location is now set by the earth.cfg file) Like so:
BASE-V2.0 Name = Edwards ;Location = -117.838620 +34.918400 ;117°50'19.03"W 34°55'6.24"N Size = 1000
And Lastly, the default Edwards base has no runways, so you have to add them to the config file. The concrete ones from Slat's addon uses default textures. Also if you have the file "STSewards.msh" in your 2005 install, go ahead and drop it into the mesh directory of 2006. If not, just delete those lines in what follows. This is my Edwards.cfg for 2006. This is the complete base minus surftiles.
BASE-V2.0 Name = Edwards ;Location = -117.838620 +34.918400 ;117°50'19.03"W 34°55'6.24"N Size = 1000 BEGIN_NAVBEACON VOR EDW -117.7326056 34.9823611 116.40 46.3 VOR PMD -118.0638208 34.6314044 114.50 100 VOR VCV -117.3899931 34.5941603 109.40 46.3 VOR LHS -118.5769381 34.6829733 108.40 46.3 END_NAVBEACON BEGIN_OBJECTLIST MESH FILE STSedwards POS -550 22.5 -240 ROT 50.5 OWNMATERIAL PRELOAD END ;--- Lakebed Runway 23/05 --- RUNWAY END1 -6450 0 -25 END2 -3230 0 -3315 WIDTH 40 ILS1 110.10 ILS2 110.10 END ;--- Lakebed Runway 17/35 --- RUNWAY END1 -2115 0 -480 END2 9795 0 1365 WIDTH 40 ILS1 110.10 ILS2 110.10 END ;--- Lakebed Runway 15/33 --- RUNWAY END1 -4530 0 -4260 END2 -150 0 -1600 WIDTH 40 ILS1 110.10 ILS2 110.10 END ;--- Small concrete runway 6/24 --- RUNWAY END1 3110 0 -3230 END2 1798 0 -1085 WIDTH 100 ILS1 134.2 ILS2 134.2 RWTEX Runway2 NRWSEG 15 RWSEG1 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 1 0.852 RWSEG2 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 1 0.852 RWSEG3 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.852 0.7305 RWSEG4 1 0.06 0.5 0.75 0.5 0.03125 RWSEG5 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.7305 0.6133 RWSEG6 1 0.1 0.5 0.75 0.5 0.03125 RWSEG7 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.6133 0.5 RWSEG8 6 0.538 0.5 0.75 0.5 0.03125 RWSEG9 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.5 0.6133 RWSEG10 1 0.1 0.5 0.75 0.03125 0.5 RWSEG11 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.6133 0.7305 RWSEG12 1 0.06 0.5 0.75 0.03125 0.5 RWSEG13 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.7305 0.852 RWSEG14 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 0.852 1 RWSEG15 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 0.852 1 END RUNWAYLIGHTS END1 3110 0 -3230 END2 1798 0 -1085 WIDTH 40 COUNT1 90 PAPI 4.0 3.0 400 END ;--- Main concrete Runway 22/4 --- RUNWAY END1 220 0 -2215 END2 3791 -3 -5163 WIDTH 100 ILS1 110.10 ILS2 110.10 RWTEX Runway2 NRWSEG 15 RWSEG1 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 1 0.852 RWSEG2 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 1 0.852 RWSEG3 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.852 0.7305 RWSEG4 1 0.06 0.5 0.75 0.5 0.03125 RWSEG5 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.7305 0.6133 RWSEG6 1 0.1 0.5 0.75 0.5 0.03125 RWSEG7 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.6133 0.5 RWSEG8 6 0.538 0.5 0.75 0.5 0.03125 RWSEG9 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.5 0.6133 RWSEG10 1 0.1 0.5 0.75 0.03125 0.5 RWSEG11 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.6133 0.7305 RWSEG12 1 0.06 0.5 0.75 0.03125 0.5 RWSEG13 1 0.007 0.5 0.75 0.7305 0.852 RWSEG14 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 0.852 1 RWSEG15 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 0.852 1 END RUNWAYLIGHTS END1 220 0 -2215 END2 3791 -3 -5163 WIDTH 120 COUNT1 90 PAPI 18.0 3.0 -2000 VASI 1.5 150.0 1000 END HANGAR2 ;1 POS -1500 0 -5340 SCALE 40 10 80 ROT 50 TEX1 Wall01 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Cape18 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;2 POS -1340 0 -5480 SCALE 40 10 80 ROT 50 TEX1 Wall01 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Cape18 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;3 POS -1505 0 -5555 SCALE 40 10 80 ROT 50 TEX1 Wall01 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Cape18 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;4 POS -1685 0 -5415 SCALE 40 10 80 ROT 50 TEX1 Wall01 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Cape18 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;5 POS -1140 0 -5230 SCALE 95 20 110 ROT 140 TEX1 Wall01 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Cape18 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;6 POS 170 0 -4500 SCALE 85 20 90 ROT 140 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Roof01 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;7 POS -40 0 -4550 SCALE 85 20 90 ROT 140 TEX1 Wall01 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Cape18 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;8 POS 350 0 -4510 SCALE 120 50 200 ROT 140 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Roof01 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;9 POS 750 0 -4800 SCALE 85 20 90 ROT 50 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Roof02 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;10 POS 1400 0 -5300 SCALE 85 25 90 ROT 140 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Roof01 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;11 POS 1500 0 -5390 SCALE 85 25 90 ROT 140 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Cape20 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;12 POS 2470 0 -6090 SCALE 140 40 120 ROT 0 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Cape18 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;A POS 2290 0 -2920 SCALE 120 30 220 ROT 30 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Roof01 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;B POS 1930 0 -2100 SCALE 85 20 90 ROT 120 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Roof01 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;C POS 1840 0 -1950 SCALE 85 20 90 ROT 120 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Roof01 2 1 END HANGAR2 ;D POS 2220 0 -2610 SCALE 65 25 120 ROT 120 TEX1 Cape18 1 1 TEX2 Wall01 6 1 TEX3 Cape18 2 1 END END_OBJECTLIST
KSC is all set already, so you don't have to bother with it except for disabling the LOCATION line. After you do this just install AutoFCS as normal if you haven't already.
