The OLM has been marked for deletion...let's do it quickly!

StarbaseSim development is paused!
Read more about why here:

Will S38 survive splashdown tomorrow, when it flies?

The patch is live now on all platforms, including Linux!

I have submitted a small patch for review and as soon as it goes through, the Steam and EGS version will get an update, sometime tomorrow, possibly.
You can find the changelog here: starbasesim.com/wordpress/20...

S38 is moving out right now for the final stack of this Starship version and on this launch mount.
Here is a slightly older clip showing some of the stacking operation in StarbaseSim while the booster is already fully loaded with propellant for some reason:

The new update with the overhauled launch mount is live now!
Finally, after three years! In the clip below you can see how it looked like back then. Quite some progress! :)

and now to the most important feature! 😄

This is a short clip from the video that's going to premier in about 5 hours from now. After the premier, the update with @RyanHansenSpace's launch mount model will go live on Steam and Epic Games Store.

YouTube video by StarbaseSim NEW StarbaseSim UPDATE with MASSIVE Launch Mount Overhaul is out (when this premiers) (might delay)

The premier is up!
The new StarbaseSim update will go live after the premier, as usual.
However, Epic hasn't approved it yet. So the premier and release time might get delayed.

It's still looking good for a release of the OLM update tomorrow, 24 hours from now. I'll put up a premier again on YouTube for the final countdown, when it's ready.

Looks like we had a good final static fire of S38 earlier. Awesome!
While we won't see this anymore in real life, you can still re-create it any time in StarbaseSim in the next update with the full OLM, including vent!
Aiming to release it as soon as this Wednesday!

I brought back the Mechazilla logo for this decal set, which you can find on the Discord: discord.gg/w4wcufZF2r
While this is the work-in-progress OLM model that is currently on the dev version, you can use decal sets like this in the current retail versions on Steam/EGS.

Next up: Final static fire test on Pad A OLM with S38

This is just an HTML page that is used as overlay in OBS. So you won't have it directly on your game window. But there should be a way to do that also.

Other interactive versions with more detailed info are also in the works. For example this one by new Builder Ker1010:

There it is! The first usable SpaceX stream like overlay using the new API.
Great work by Lyna on the discord! There you can also find out more about it in the new API/Decals section:
discord.gg/w4wcufZF2r

or get it here: github.com/KakushiTLG/S...

I might do a longer video about this next week.

Work on integrating @RyanHansenSpace's OLM continues.
I have put up the latest work-in-progress state on the dev version for supporters to check out.

I set dry mass to 155 t here. Still too low maybe?
Of course, the whole flying simulation is very simple. But the numbers should still be in same ball park roughly.

Had to lower the default drag coefficient from 0.5 to 0.2 for similar deceleration.
The default is set up for subsonic gliding operation. Guess, I need to add some sort of airflow dependency at some point. Even though, flying is not really the focus of StarbaseSim, currently.

Playing around a bit trying to recreate this.
The attitude controller is not the best here, so I had to make some manual input to keep it stable.

YouTube video by StarbaseSim How to use API for ultimate rocket control in latest StarbaseSim update

I have uploaded some videos on Youtube about how to use the new Decal and API systems.
People already started working on custom UI's. Can't wait to see what you can make with it!

Decals: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1PR...

API: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ91...

Linux version of latest update is up and should be working fine.
If you are waiting for Mac, check the pinned post in my profile.

I have finished this update for release tomorrow (pending regulatory approval) after deciding to give the OLM more time. The time a @RyanHansenSpace model deserves.
See Devlog for more details: starbasesim.com/wordpress/20...

Good luck Ship 37!

Since you might not have seen it, let me repost this info about the next update again. I'm currently working hard on finishing it up before next flight. But might take a little longer due to the OLM getting a much bigger upgrade than initially anticipated.
