Heeeeeeeeey OF! Been quite awhile since I've had any activity here on the forum (thank you mods for not deleting my account LOL) At the time, my intrests were shifting to a more atmospheric setting. These days I am mostly online on YS Flight. And I'll admit, it has also been quite awhile since...

I was thinking. (Hell I always am.) With the small buzz going about the probes we've sent out to small asteroids and other bodies... I was wondering, since many of these bodies are on paths that go beyond our solar system(some come back even), would it not be possible to either land a unit or...

I am currently using the latest version of the shuttle fleet with the expansion pack. I pull up a launch scenario(this occurs on all of them), and time accelerate to get to my launch window. Approximately 2-4 of Orbiter time passes and Orbiter CTDs. I currently see nothing wrong with it, but am...

Quick question, what kind of extensions does orbiter support for textures? Is it just the DDS? I'm playing around with making a custom skin for my own XR2 if anyone has any tips that'd be much abliged too. For this, I'm using Gimp for future reference. Thanks! :cheers:

I got Orulex awhile ago and noticed this after a trip to the moon on an EVA. I meant to ask about it, but I never got around to it. Anyhoo. I landed a DGIV nicely on the surface of the moon at Tranquility when I noticed something rather... annoying. It seems as though I can see through the...

For quite awhile now, I've suffered the loss of my mfd displays whenever I enter any sort of VC. Normally, I'm not concerned about this since not alot of my usual craft have functional VCs. But oh, how I do love my XR2 :rofl: I am aware that the next big update will contain a functional VC and I...

Greetings everyone - just a quick idea I had. A challenge utilizing a DGIV or like an XR2, and the Orbiter Flag addon. It would consist of: 1)Takeoff from Earth 2)Visit each planet and x number of its moons (heck, all of them if your feeling lucky) 3)Plant the flag of your home country on...

Happy Holidays everyone.... I've been really cracking down on my orbital mechanics skills, and am looking to try something a little different away from the basics. As the title says, i'm looking to make an orbital plane change by brushing the upper atmosphere. I know the basic outline of it...

Lately, i've had some bad luck with Orbiter. Its been jumpy, and sometimes has been locking up completely. But, my patience/annoyance has been well paid off. I decided to take up a DGIV for a nice simple mission of delivering a container plus a few crew members to the ISS. I didn't even bother...

Got a new Saiket X2R Pro and I love it! Unfortunately, in Orbiter's perspective, The only controls that a are functional are the joystick itself and the slider, no buttons. Is there any program / orbiter addon that can map the buttons to, say, some of the keys on a keyboard? That way, for...

Any Ace Combat fans here? I'm a big fan of ace combat 5, and the concept of the Arkbird just intuiged me until I could scritch my imaginary beard no longer. For those who don't know - The Arkbird is a spacecraft which utilizes atmospheric friction to make orbit changes, so its more like a...

Well, i've been keeping this to myself for quite a bit, havnt really thought about posting it. Anyhoo - here it is, the station i've been laboring at for about a week and a half - Text was edited in, as well as the b/w, of course. Its structure: Cassiopee Lab || RMS...

Hey everyone, Recently got Shuttle Fleet & Auto FCS. I really like its performance (except that landing was bumpy - The shuttle looked to be on a perfect approach but fell short of the runway with a bang x_x ) and I wondered if its applicable with other winged craft, i.e., A DG or XR2? I'd test...

Recently chipped Orulex off Orbit Hangar, and apparently, after installing and activating the module, nothing has changed. I've loaded scenarios with vessels on mars, moon, and earth, and observed nothing but Orbiter's blank horizon. Nothing of course like it is in the editor. I'll update...

One thing I've noticed when i've taken the Soyuz TMA (cvel) up in orbit on a mission to the ISS, I never have enough fuel to get there. Most of it is exhausted on orbit synchronization. So.. if this is an accurate model, how the :censored: do they get to the ISS in real life? Either somethings...

Hey any of you second-lifers out there... (www.secondlife.com for those who are interested) I've been making a Soyuz model! Lots of script work x_x So far its about 90% from minimal status... Still fine-tuning the vehicle's RCS thrusting ratings and controls, and I need to make the chute and...

Hey everyone.... Has anyone heard anything from the October Sky project? The latest blog entry from that site was from '06. :( I've been playing around with the TMA on Orbit hangar for awhile but i've been starving for a new model ever since I saw meshes for the VC of their Soyuz. Then I just...

After fooling with AMSO and checking out all the features, I was very satisfied with how the P63 decent worked. I was wondering, is this available in any other interface, prefrebly an MFD, so I could implement it in other vessels? I've already got Base Land, Lola (Outdated, I know), I think Land...

Greetings Orbinauts! Today i'll be talking about making lunar landings with only using the standard MFDs! Lets get right to it.... I am a big NASSP fan. So, after getting frustrated watching my LM richochet off the Moon's surface when trying to use autopilots like Land MFD, Base Land, or...

My god I feel like an astronaut cut from his oxygen supply... After extracting a new copy of a PEG Autopilot, I started up orbiter to find all my modules deselected. So I put the ones I needed back in, and ran a scenario.. no loading screen, nuthin but a white screen of death before orbiter...
