You need to put the '.' at the start. Without the dot cmd is literally looking for the path "\Orbiter2016\Utils\texpack.exe", which cannot exist on any Windows system as it has no drive letter. ".\" translates to the current working directory, which is "D:\" in this case, so it'll look for...

On the command line every character matters. These 2 (linux) commands have 1 character difference, but one removes a directory in the root directory called 'tmp', the other removes every file and folder on the entire system. (if logged in as root) rm -rf /tmp/ rm -rf / tmp/

The command in that image wouldn't work. Try: .\Orbiter2016\Utils\texpack.exe D:\Orbiter2016\Textures\Earth Surf -e

Have you tried running as administrator?

The perceived/physical intensity thing is a computing time/memory trade-off. Storing light as perceived intensity requires more computationally expensive maths in the shader to combine light sources correctly but you can store the result in SDR framebuffers without losing accuracy. Storing light...

Most Win 10 Telemetry tools disable parts of the OS they don't understand. They WILL hurt the security of your system and can damage it in ways that can only be fixed by system restore or reinstalling.

This is how the Mirai botnet spread so quickly. Insecure IoT cameras have been responsible for 3 of the largest DDoS attacks ever seen.

I'm not sure of the exact figure, but Vive's tracking is accurate down to <1cm. With good design a VR cockpit should be doable. The problem is getting the headset display. I'd guess you'd need a d3d11 graphics client first.

Short Answer: No. Long Answer: Not in any practical sense. I thought you could re-write a texture on disk every frame, but that would saturate most disks, and you'd have sync issues. Then I thought of making some custom code to send the frames directly, but re-writing a screen sized render...

If this camera stuff doesn't work right, how does the trackIR plugin work?

One thing, Dx7 is not hardware accelerated on Win10. So if you're using the inline client all the rendering is being done on your CPU along with the actual simulation.

Just make sure you know what's around you. Don't apply thrust in a direction you haven't looked. This way you can avoid doing something like smashing sideways into an asteroid.

Adding "gaming elements" to something most would consider not-a-game is pretty much the definition of gamification. It doesn't matter why you're adding them. That's not a bad thing by any stretch, but it is definitely gamification. I'm not going to stick my oar in on whether this is a good idea...

IIRC at one point there was a community goal to ship something (my brain says mugs for some reason) to Hutton. ... Ah yes. Mugs. (sort of)

For breeding/genetic viability, Wikipedia has this to say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_colonization#Population_size As for having a broad enough range of skills and a sufficient labour force I'm not sure. Probably depends how automated things like ISRU and hydroponics end up being.

Ok, so here's the dependencies list: AlgLib CSPICE eigen KOST LpSolve nlopt Orbiter Sound Obviously Orbiter Sound isn't updated yet, but that's quick enough to remove. The problem is there's 2 more missing headers; bitmap.h and gal.h. The zip contains a bitmap.cpp, so I've been able to almost...

I've tried to get the bits together to recompile this against the new orbiter version, but I can't find several of the libraries. Many things are in the Acknowledgements, but it's not clear what I need to grab. This addon dumps 2 dlls into orbiter-root (libnlopt-0.dll, lpsolve55.dll) and 4 into...

The PS4 has no discrete VRAM. The GPU shares main RAM, which is GDDR5, with the CPU. They're all lumped together on an APU, so the GPU gets a really fast bus anyway. Also the CPU is actually 2 x86-64 quad core units. I wouldn't count on all of them being usable by the game though, and the clock...

As I understand it, the elevation is stored as what is basically a heightmap, so representing the datapoints as vertices would be a bit misleading, because the vert's would only be free to move in the up/down direction.

The image on this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_elements does a pretty good job of explaining Inclination and the other terms used to describe orbits. As for launching, look at the ground track of an orbit: It's fairly obvious there's 2 ways an orbiting vessel could pass over a...
