I'm trying something different. Starting from Saturn Single Stage To Orbit scenario, I'm adding a DG and switching focus to that. What I want to do is fly the Delta Glider, but take advantage of the SASSTO's Fuel Station for my first rendezvous and docking attempt. This is considerably...

From reading Orbiter.doc, I gathered that the purpose of Linear Mode is to allow you to apply small amounts of thrust from the RCS engines linearly, which you would want to do in close range maneuvers such as docking. Clearly the main engines are far too powerful for this purpose. Also...

Some time ago I downloaded KB9LAD's Acme Rocketship, something of a tribute to the pointy-ended, bullet-shaped spacecraft of early science fiction, with a liberal dash of humor in the spirit of Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner. However, here, as with all vertical launches, I have the same...

I mean, without having to crash back into the atmosphere once or twice, and without ending up with an extremely eccentric orbit that needed a lot of correction. Whoo hoo! For the first time, by flying aerodynamically to about 20km, engaging the scramjet at 3500 m/s, and keeping the AOA low I...

Unfortunately I can't undo what I did, because I uninstalled that copy of Orbiter. But I can at least recount what I did. Using a reasonably fresh working copy of Orbiter, I opened up the Delta Glider sample project--the DWS file--that comes in OrbiterSDK Samples. This was using VC++ 2008...

I know that, for example, an accounting application might not have a "meshes" folder, but in general is this how shrink-wrapped software is developed? I refer to the way that different types of configurational input are distributed into "config", "meshes", "scenarios" folders and so on...

I'm really trying to get Rob Conley's V2 code to compile for various reasons. First, I can't run any of the V2 scenarios and I'd like to run down the cause. (They all crash on load.) Two, I live for this stuff. I have always been fascinated with the space program, and although not an...

Hello everyone. I've been managing to work through some issues I was having with Orbiter Diagnostic and the V2-Bumper addon at MSC. While I still cannot get that particular spacecraft off the pad (still crashing on loading), I was at least able to get OrbiterDiagnostic up and running so I...
