Thats what I was afraid of. The documentation for SetThrusterLevel says: "Certain thrusters are controlled directly by Orbiter via primary input controls, which may override this function." So, I can control the thrust level programmatically, but the user can override it anyway. Doesn't do...

I would like to create all my thruster and thruster groups during initialization, and then programmatically enable and disable thruster groups. Is that possible? I didn't find anything in the SDK referring to thruster enable/disable. Basically, I want the user to control specific sets of...

Is there a way to show more verbose debug information in the orbiter log? The log doesn't give much debug info for add-on developers. My current problem is, for some reason, Orbiter stopped calling ovcInit. I can't use instrumentation in my dev tools, and the log doesn't show anything. So, I...

I'm a software engineer working on the Orion CEV program. Not the add-on (though I am also working on another CEV add on), but the real vehicle. I have degrees in IT and physics, and worked on the ISS program for 4 years. Pending approval from my wife, my goal is to build a full size CEV...

Quick_Nick was correct. Thanks for the information everybody. I'm quickly learning the API.

I didn't create the meshes. I got them from somebody else. I'm just the coder. That does answer my question though. So it is better to make them each a separate class? Can you tell me which API calls I should study up on? What is the best way to connect them? Connect them like docked...

I have a very basic vehicle module compiled and executing. Can anybody recommend a tutorial that covers writing code for a multistage vehicle? I'm pretty good writing C++, but am still having a hard time learning the Orbiter API and object model. Either I'm not understanding all of the API...

I read more of the documentation. I was missing a lot more stuff before I should even see any function load.

Of course, my dll does not contain a main(). That defeats the purpose of a dll. Not that I have the time to more thoroughly study the SDK, I think I need to create some more configuration files to associate a vehicle with the behavior defined in my dll. My debugger instrumentation is...

I'm new to the OrbiterSDK. I successfully compiled a very basic DLL just to work out the mechanics of the tool chain. I can activate it in my modules list, but when are any of the function calls actually executed? I have instrumentation enabled for debug purposes, and I'm not seeing anything...
