When building a mesh with retractable undercarriage, should the mesh be built with the landing gear extended or retracted?

As I said, it's not so much how I WANT it to perform, but seeing how it WILL. The theory I'm testing is whether or not it's possible for a vessel to steer without traditional RCS thrusters (if you remember my DLL name, you might see where this is going). In this specific case the craft has four...

Ok, cool, that got her stabilized. Now I just need to find out why my controls aren't working with FBW... I do need to revise my thruster positions anyway, as I said, I set them before based on vertex position, not meters from origin. As for the pitch vs. roll performance... That's the tricky...

Here's the entry from the scenario: STATUS Orbiting Earth RPOS 2285262.70 6789817.18 -1065504.96 RVEL 7132.181 -2350.025 345.086 AROT 0.0 0.0 0.0 VROT 0.0 0.0 0.0 PRPLEVEL 0:1.000 1:1.000 THLEVEL 0:1.000 1:1.000 NAVFREQ 0 0 XPDR 0 PODANGLE 0.0000 0.0000 DOCKSTATE 0...

Woo! That got it, thanks! Now to find out what else I can mess up. ;-) Starting in space. It just constantly starts flipping end over end as soon as I launch the sim. None of the other modules do this.

What is the fix for it, then, or is the code you provided what does it? And why is it that the attitude thruster groups ARE working? Incidentally, another odd issue came up when I loaded it into the sim with just the ATT thruster groups set. As soon as I turn off pause the ship immediately...

Ok, still failing on the CreateThrusterGroup section. Might be easier at this point to show you how I have it coded. I set break points at each Thruster Group, and it fails on the first one. THRUSTER_HANDLE th_main[4], th_rcs[8], th_retro[4], th_group[6]; th_main[0] = CreateThruster (_V(15...

Ok, so if the group is comprised of all the thrusters of that type I don't need to actually SPECIFY them individually in the group? All the individual thrusters I did have numbered 0-3, and I did specify the number of thrusters of each type. Ok, so the visual model has no bearing on...

There's that problem fixed. ;) I think I have the problem narrowed down to this bit of code right here: th_group[0] = th_main[0]; th_group[0] = th_main[1]; th_group[0] = th_main[2]; th_group[0] = th_main[3]; CreateThrusterGroup (th_group, 4, THGROUP_MAIN); Specifically...

Done, but still receiving the error about the DLL being missing, even after a reboot. Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Compiled as Debug. Here's the results when I ran the debugging again: 'orbiter.exe': Loaded 'D:\Program Files\Orbiter\orbiter.exe', Binary was not built with debug information...

This is what I came back with after running debugging. First, a bunch of error messages: application failed to run becase MSVCP71.dll was not found. Unhandled exception at 0x00410112 in orbiter.exe 0xC00000005: Access violation reading location 0x402e0030. No symbols are loaded for any call...

After a good bit of effort I finally got a model I'm working on to compile to a DLL file. Got my CFG file created, added my mesh and textures, and created a scenario. CTD. Orbiter log file gives no errors. It gets to the model and just stops. I KNOW my mesh has a problem (substituted my new...
