I recently installed the moon high resolution texture. I can't really tell the difference between it and the old low resolution texture that I had. I realize that the place where the difference should be seen is down close to the ground, but I see nothing. Is there something that I might be...

Is there a way (such as CTRL-C or CTRL-D) to terminate an executing Lua script? Thanks.

I am currently running some test routines and would like to send generated output to a file. Is it possible to do so? Thanks.

Yes. This is exactly what I meant (sorry if I wasn't clearer). Additional experimentation leads me to believe that all functions work ok (even when called progromatically) except for those where I set thruster values, wait a given period of time, then disable those thrusters. Can anybody verify...

As I approach a VTOL pad I would like to be able to obtain information (via Lua) on the pad's bearing and distance. Distance is not a problem: range = oapi.get_navrange(hNav) I don't see anything that will give me a bearing. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I have a piece of code to establish a constant vertical velocity on the moon of 1 m/s which works just fine when invoked directly, but not when called. When called, the Delta Glider NT barely moves at all and settles back to the ground very quickly. I don't understand what is going on here. Any...

When performing calculations, do you need to account for the execution times of proc.skip() and proc.wait_simdt(dt)?

Yes. Inserting a proc.skip() solved the problem I was having. Thanks.

Ok. Back home again. Attached are two items: control skeleton of attached Lua script file entire Lua script file Maybe the control skeleton will be enough to reveal the problem I am having. Maybe not. If you look through the Lua script file, be aware that it still needs quite a bit of work...

I have used proc.wait_simdt(dt) in the past without any problem. I am several hundred miles today from the script I am writing. The call is in a loop, but I can't remember if it is a while-do loop or a repeat-until loop (actually I think it is in repeat-until which is nested inside of a...

Sometimes when I use proc.wait_simdt() it will cause Orbiter to hang or freeze. I figure: I am doing something in other parts of the script causing this behavior or there might be some issue with this routine that I don't know about I would appreciate any insight that anyone could offer. Thanks.

That is a tremendous help. Thanks.

That works. I can now do exactly what I want to. Thanks for the insight and help.

Is there a good way in Lua to determine what your vertical velocity is at any given time? Thanks in advance.

Can parameters be passed to a Lua script when it is invoked? If so, what is an example invocation?
