Chiming in here: Transatlantic communication isn't that hard. I've seen people do it at frequencies as high as 50MHz(6 meters) across the earth (during a contest, no less). If you're willing to bounce off the moon to do it, there's not really a limit to how high you can go. Or, if you'd...

void MyVessel::DefineMainPanel(PANELHANDLE hPanel) { static DWORD panelW = 800; static DWORD panelH = 400; float fpanelW = (float)panelW; float fpanelH = (float)panelH; static DWORD texW = 128; static DWORD texH = 128; float boundW = (float)panelW/texW; float...

This is the part that I was really hoping for some guidance on.

I've made it this far: I'm trying to get the buttons working and integrated with the MFD/Panel combionation.

I was hoping to start with a small example and build up, rather than searching through 5k lines of code and trying to find anything that's there.

Martins posted this on the blog a while ago: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/blog.php?b=577&goto=prev I've been trying to get it to work, but with little success. Does anyone have a working implementation of it that I could start by modifying? (also, the font graphics for blitting would be...

You can't do that. That would be animal cruelty... for the shark.

DISCLAIMER: I have never built a simpit, nor do I have plans to in the near future. I know it's probably too late to go down this road, but for the level of cost you are talking about, it almost makes more sense to buy an old (potentially non-airworthy) plane and rewire the switches and...

If you are interested in finding an Orbiter-Based example of this, you could look at the DG's atmospheric autopilot code. You can find it in the file "Orbiter/Script/DG/aap.lua" There are several different things that the AAP (atmospheric autopilot) does. One autopilot controls speed, another...

Relevant:

I think that people around here are willing to welcome any level of science or fiction. If you make it, then people will probably use it. I wouldn't expect DGIV-level popularity, but I think that any high quality addons are always in demand.

Not to my knowledge.

TV here just confirmed that they have found wreckage.
