Complete Apollo 16 pack for Nassp v3.0

File Description:
This is a COMBINED Descartes Landing site and Descartes Enhancement Pack for the new NASSP (v3.0) and the new ORBITER (021202). It also includes Vinka's updated (for 021202) Generic Spacecraft DLL Module so that the "independent" Lunar EVA implementation would work. It also includes YesRushGen's Apollo 16 scenarios which depict the Apollo 16 mission in various stages during the mission. Everything found in Descartes Landing Site and DEP add-ons are included, along with a new Lunar Rover that has both the CMDR and LMP on board when pressing "V" after the NASSP EVA key is pressed. However, due to an inexplicable bug, I decided not to include the detailed SIMBAY EVA astronaut mesh, because Orbiter kept on crashing whenever I perform EVA on BOTH the LM and the CSM. Furthermore, although the LM now sports the bronze-like coloring of the J-Mission Advanced LMs (from inside the SIVB booster until separation of ascent stage), I had to remove the enhancements like the hanging MESA and the LRV from the Descent Stage because it caused inexplicable Orbiter crashes too. But I hope you like the new LM color which is now consistent during the course of the entire mission (in the DEP add-on, it was still aluminum/grey when docked to the CSM and only turned bronze when undocked). Finally, I added a NAV/ADF beacon to the landing site, so that if you press SHIFT-C and tune to 109.10, then press SHIFT-L, your landing display will show your position with respect to the landing site, provided you are within 500 kilometers.

New EMU and LRV meshes for NASSP v2.2 (BETA2)

File Description:
This add-on is simply a slight modification to an already superb add-on done by Spacebar Joe (NASSP) and I created it to enhance the ambience and experience of lunar landings in Orbiter. Although the Orbiter simulation engine is still quite limited when it comes to modelling character or land vehicle movement, the NASSP package offers a nice way for you to do this. However, I was not satisfied with the 3D-models that came with the add-on, so I decided to create my own detailed 3D-models for the lunar astronaut (EMU) and the lunar rover (LRV). The new models are named sat5AstroS.msh (745 kb), and LRV.msh (1,617 kb), both of which will OVERWRITE the older NASSP astronaut and LRV models. Please back up these two files (in your meshes folder) before installing this add-on. The LRV was created based on 3-views (plans) photos and drawings that I got from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journals (ALSJ) Website. The EMU model was created mostly from videos and pictures of Apollo spacesuits. It features a semitransparent faceplate (visor up) and you can actually see the astronaut’s head inside the helmet! ;) NOTE that this is still a BETA (work in progress) and the models will be updated periodically. WARNING: Due to the fact that these models are quite polygon-heavy, some slower computers with low-end graphics cards will run very slow if my models are active. There might also be cases when ORBITER will crash due to the complexity of the models. More info can be read in the PDF file that comes with the package.
