General Starfleet Command Forum / Need Help With SFC1...
« Last post by jayvt3 on October 22, 2024, 10:22:03 am »
i won an ebay sale for SFC.  the cd, instruction manual, strategy guide, ship information chart, quick reference card, multiplayer reference sheet, support information card and even the "interplay's most wanted" reward card are in literal mint condition.

the issue is with the cd and my operating system.

the cd is the 1.00.01 version requiring windows 95/98.

my ops system is windows 10 pro.

whenever i try to load the game i get error messages about missing files.

any help, tips, advice or voodoo would be greatly appreciated.

Booster CAUGHT.  Starship achieved it planned orbit.

More detail to come as the flight is still in progress.

Some but less burn through on the flaps.  Still a good ocean landing.

IFT 6 i now scheduled for December.

Some of the outer ring of engine bells seem to have damage and distortion from the heat/force of coming down from 96 km altitude tail first (hot enough to see them glow). 

The booster was sat back down the launch platform and locked in place, the quick disconnect arm was able to reconnect (possibly to drain/recover the left over methane). 

I expect this booster to be dissected to find every iota of damage that would need to be prevented in later models for rapid reuse and also of course the damage that can't be avoided but which will need to be repaired after each flight.

The FAA is once again delaying Starship launches. So instead of this month it will be November at the earliest.

I'm seeing claims of it launching this Sunday.  No details yet.

Blue Origin has been practicing deploying the New Glenn landing legs and a barge has been seen that is believed to be the landing location for the New Glenn
booster (if it even flies this year - officially Sept 29th).

That launch of the Mars mission for NASA?

Not happening this year.  The maiden flight is now scheduled for November.  I fully expect it to slip into next year, if they reschedule it for Dec 31st that will be (I think) the 4th year in a row that they scheduled it for that date then failed to launch it. 

Am I cynical about any Blue Origin announcements?  You bet I am.  They got my hopes up too many times only to dash them.

Starliner made it back successfully uncrewed.

A Falcon 9 attempting its 23rd landing seems to have had a landing gear issue resulting in it exploding on landing.  Resulted in a temporary suspension of launches but the FAA has decided they can keep flying while the investigation goes on.

The new mobile launch platform required for later SLS launches which I think should have been ready now has spent its budget of ~$400 million and has had the budget upped to ~$2.6 billion.
