Aloha, David! Just a brief note to thank you for your IMFD video tutorials with Dimitris. I tried and tried to understand TransX, I just couldn't do it. The videos from Flytandem were horrible, both because of the poor video quality (badly out-of-focus) and because there were several occasions...

I'm trying to run the DXD9 version of Orbiter 2016. When I launch a scenario, the sim screen is very small, appx. 2"x2" on my screen, with no option to maximize the screen. How do I get a full-screen sim to run? ---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM...

The results are the same for either ECL or EQU setting in the Orbit MFD - I can't get an INC less than 28.6 degrees on the AscentAP MFD.

Thanks for replying, Brian. I get the same results in AscentAPMFD in either setting (ECL or EQU) in OrbitMFD...a minimum INC of 28.6 in the range of AZ from 88.8 to 91.2 degrees. I even did an uninstall/install to get a clean version, with the same results. Any other ideas? BTW, what does the...

It took a couple of weeks, but I'm comfortable manually launching the DG into orbit, docking w/ISS, and landing. Tex's tutorials really helped understand what was going on. Now I'm working on flying Atlantis into orbit on the Launch into Sunrise scenario. First problem: the sim won't work with...

Docking Thanks, guys. That helps me to understand what's going on. Docking is more difficult than I'd thought; I'm unsuccessful after 4 or 5 attempts, but I'll get it eventually. Balancing ROT and LIN thrusters takes a lot of practice.

I'm working through Tex's excellent video tutorial on Launch and Docking, and I noticed that there are different values for the Docking MFD CVEL and the Sync Orbit MFD RVel. Obviously, I'm missing something about what the two values indicate. CVEL is closure velocity, I believe, and RVel is...

Eureka! It worked! Thank you so much for your patience, and your clear, detailed, step-by-step explanation, ADSWNJ. I'm surprised there is no information like this in the add-on Manual. I guess they assume a basic level of knowledge which I didn't have until now. The key principle that I was...

IMFD tutorials Also, the IMFD tutorials which I saw online by Tex are horribly out of focus, and do not address the installation/activation issues.

IMFD So I put the complete unzipped folders IMFD and LTMFD into the Orbiter/Modules/PlugIn folder, then launched the Orbiter app. IMFD and LTMFD were available in the Modules tab of the app, and I checked the boxes. When I launched a scenario, I used the SEL tab to choose either of the IMFD or...

How do you get IMFD and LTMFD to work? I've downloaded the files, put the .dll into Modules/Plug In, and edited the Orbit.cfg file to include LunarTransferMFD and InterMFD57 lines. From there, how do I activate the displays?

IMFD I downloaded the IMFD and LTMFD files, unzipped them, and put the .dll files into the Modules/Plugin folder. I edited the Orbiter.cfg file to include the lines LunarTransferMFD and InterMFD57. From here, how do I activate these plugins? They are not available when I use the SEL button...

So, I'm using the Challenge 2 - Lunar Transfer scenario to learn how to work with Orbiter for deep space maneuvers. I was able to use the MFD - Align Planes screen successfully to zero out the Inclination differential, then use the MFD - Transfer screen to do an insertion burn to the Moon. I'm...
