Remember when asked to AI: generate template with 255 cases and break...It answered: switch (myVariable) { case 0: break; case1: break; // and so on case 254: break; case 255: break; } After that I got an idea: "Kill IT with fire!" And I am not started talking about Earth geoid compression...

Fixing my mistake with language... Azimuth (heading): 13 degrees Bank: -6 degrees Pitch 22 degrees

I am sorry for bad language, but I am emotional when there is discussion about AI vibe coding. And this screenshot was made when I 1st time render (print) text using SDL2. This is kinda "Hello world!"

Basic idea: Simpit builders need separate HUD. How to extract HUD from orbiter? By looking on Orbiter source code, we can understand how HUD drawing works and what input data are necessary to draw HUD. So, we can obtain data remotely using ORB:Connect add-on by @kamaz, then write own program to...

Can AI generate SDL code, what prevents memory leaks? Learning and reading prevents memory leaks... AI helps to become more stupid.

IN most cases googling helps better than AI code, because you find whom where AI took code, read that stackoverflow, google litle more and solve your problem. For example, right now I am working on external HUD for Simpit. No idea how to use SDL under linux, but... Few hours and here is result...

Sorry fro bragging, but All these AI chats are total bsht and waste of time. If you are not coder (I am not) you'll accept any bsht from AI without understanding. C++ and Orbiter is not that hard. For example, I learned C/C++ basics when learned how to program Arduino. So, now I can read...

Aha! I found old arduino sketch from experiment. I was Time Acceleration stuff. I receiver TimeAccel data from Orbiter via Ehternet and showed results on Serial monitor. Sorry, there isn't subscribe stuff. ONly request to get TimeAccel and simple response. Need more work on String parsing and it...

Hi! I am kinda back... Not really working on SIMPIT stuff and still hate to tinker with Python VNC client, but... I have 2 old Logitech joysticks. Kinda force feedback (not working on linux), kinda gamepad (Sub-d 15, but with arduino tranfored int USB. This information is uselees for you, but...

So... It works on Linux now? Linux thinkerers like me can compile, test and and fly? Interesting... I'll git clone and try it myself.

Keyboard cowboys! Answer on simple question: how should look Orbiter from user perspective. What user, not programmer, need/want? Instead of making noise about coding.

OK. Development continues. Any milestone list? What is a way to add more API calls? What API calls are planned to remove? Any plans to change MFD API redesign?

What about Martins last release with DX7 on x86 before mowing to x64 and @jarmonik graphic engine?

Selfie was a joke.

On last few days I am already observing 28 MBit/sec data downlink from JWST on 25.9 GHz. Looks like JPL guys taking selfies from L2 orbit. https://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html

Ok! JWST arrived at his new home! Congrats to all! :hailprobe:

There are addons, who allow run orbiter over many computers in network with goal to make multiscreen simpit system. I already made some tests and it looks like good altenative to complex multiprojector setup.

Some info why mirror segment deployment and alignment takes many months: https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/01/13/mirror-mirroron-its-way/

From my knowledge how it works: 18 mirror segments on main mirror and 1 segment(?) on secondary mirror Each segment on main mirror have 6 servos on corners + 1 servo to change shape/bending for segment. Secondary mirror have 6 servos/ Calibration process ( program in GWBASIC ): 10) Coll down...

Origami stuff are fully deployed. Need to coarse tune all 18 mirror. This will start any moment and continue next 2 weeks. Then L2 insert burn. Than 3 month fine mirror alignment and instrument calibration. Where is WEBB?
