I have been writing a extended flight data recorder in Lua as a work project. I'll post more later but it records more parameters than the built in fdr and saves to a timestamped csv file and does show various data onscreen. The onscreen data is just there for debugging purposes but could be...

That would be very helpful thanks ADSWNJ. As it is I've been having trouble even getting started as I haven't got Admin rights on my work computer. I have got a few days off coming up so may well just get going at home. It might be that I can do what I want simply using LUA rather than a...

It looks like my last post was sometime in 2011 and apart from an occasional lurk now and then I've not really been on the forums much at all. What have I been up to? Well I started and finished a mechanical engineering degree via the Open University managing to get a first class degree...

So I've been pottering around at having a go at developing a Chsyler SERV addon. Chrysler SERV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Have made a start on the mesh for it which I'll sort some pictures of later. Having a bit of a problem working out how the cargo portion of the craft works, it was...

Thanks for the tip though the source code was in the spotlight addon rather than the spotlight2. That's given me some pointers (I like addons that include source code) on printing text to the hud in a vessel3 addon but still no clearer on how to have just the text without the usual huds up...

Hi there. I've finally restarted developing some addons for Orbiter having stopped just before 2010 replaced v2006 and I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm trying to write custom text to the hud to display information on my addon. Now I have managed this using DanSteph's UmmuExampleShuttlePB code...

Not necessarily a solution in all cases but I had this occur yesterday and rebooting fixed it. I just suggest it as more than once I've futzed around with my router for ages trying to get my internet to work before remembering to try a simple reboot (which of course worked right away).

Glad to hear they work, some of the comment on OH indicated they didn't but maybe that was referring to the pre P1 version?

The GDI Miner and Ore Mill were made by me for Orbiter2006 and as far as I know don't work in 2010. I've just gone through a long lay off from Orbiter due to various reasons but am starting to get back into it. If there's interest I could have a look at what I need to do to update them to...

Once you've unpacked boxA you need a boxB within grappling range when you activate the control panel for it to unpack the next stage, then repeat for boxC and boxD. Well the ultimate plan is for the ore to be used in a smelter to produce a metal cargo which in turn will be used in a...

You mean like DanSteph's Prelude base? Cos that seems like it might work. At least it makes sense in my head although I haven't d/led this addon yet.

Just echoing the other replies really but wanted to say good on you for this thread. Many people make mistakes but often don't have the guts to admit they were wrong so well done.

I was thinking about this the other day. Would it be possible to code an add-on that would simulate the lag in control due to distance between the control room and the vessel? Well I imagine anything is pretty much possible to code I mean more how difficult would it be?

Am I right in thinking that despite the higher fuel costs it makes sense to land under power rather than using a parachute? I'd imagine repacking a chute so that it opens correctly wouldn't be something done on the surface of Mars.

Well I have no idea if my numbers are at all realistic, I just picked a nice round number. Easy enough to change though as the cargo weight is set by config file. I will check later and see what I've set the unpacked weights to as there may be a discrepancy. I didn't worry too much about weight...
