Dear Brian, Solved it, with the help of your data! Older simulations I inspected showed the correct acceleration, only the most recent set of runs were off. So, I sez to myself... could something be off in a config file-- thrust or acceleration? I start poking around: Main menu (F4) ->...

Dear Brian, ... and that's what I thought... and what I used in my modeling so far. But... now I have a ship sitting out in deep space (~1 billion km from the sun). Not near any planets. As close as you can get to a zero-gee field, so potential vs kinetic energy doesn't mess up the test. I...

Dear folks, I want to use the delta glider (in unlimited fuel mode) for some orbital modeling. I need to know what acceleration full thrust on the main engines corresponds to. I *think* I've done some correct experiments to measure this-- it looks like it's either 20 m/sec per second of...

Dear folks, I'm entirely a newb when it comes to Orbiter. Has anyone developed any simulations or add-ons which model continuous boost propulsion systems like ion? Tried searching the fora and didn't get any hits, but that could just be my inept searching. Thanks! pax, Ctein
