I wonder whether it is possible to incorporate LOS handling into the new Data MFD as a workaround to simulate transmission blockage? This way the antenna direction and range would extracted via Lua and fed to Data MFD and the blockage data would be computed by Data MFD itself (and the uplink's...

So if I get it right: antenna direction and target range can be retrieved into the would-be Data MFD, but that's all, nothing more, so this way, the antenna would see through planets which makes no sense. Another dumb question: could the Data MFD itself be able to add at least the blockage info...

Probably dumb question but maybe not...: is there no way to retrieve the DGIV antenna data that is displayed on the data transfer display? And feed this data to Data MFD so it can use that for communications.

Yes, that is a good idea. Also, satellite-communication networks can be set up with simple relay-satellites which do nothing more than re-transmit received data to all directions, to the target or to other relay-sats. This way a set of scenarios could be created like this: "Establish constant...

Hi Yes, data MFD, for a start, it could give the targeted object's orbital elements (those can be extracted from the simulation, I suppose). It could be then used to check a deployed satellite's low orbit whether it is stable or decaying due to atmospheric friction. Second idea is surface...

First problem is that I do not know enough to answer this for I don't know too much about the data transmission methods/formats used. I suppose there must be data integrity checks as sumcheck or similar and I don't know how to implement those. I mean the most important is to be able to transmit...

Hello, I think it would be cool to have a "Data MFD" module to extend the usability of satellites and remote controllable vessels/devices. A general usage application: a deployed satellite is targeted by the DGIV's long range antenna to receive actual data (such as its orbital elements, system...

Hello, I would like to have a complex spacecraft creator/editor tool which would have these features: a simple 3d modelling part,in which you could draw your craft,apply textures,place CG,engine points,thrust vectors of respectice engines,cockpit,etc... on an interactive interface,then...
