Whyz thankz youz

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...

Hm. Aerobrake MFD anyone? Works perfectly for me just about every time. Even more convenient with the XR's attitude ap.

You've missed one of our points Ark. We're also suggesting that this asteroid is on a trajectory that will go through our system and go beyond - so in a way, is this a large fuel saver, if we could manage to hop on this interstellar bus. And also that means we're not matching its orbit, rather...

~When Orbiter is at the top of your start menu, and no matter how much time you spend on other programs, it stays there. ~When the pilot of your plane becomes unconscious and you volunteer to land the plane. "Do you have a license?" " *LAUGH* Sir, I play Orbiter. Who needs a license...

Yes thats more or less what I was originally thinking. Though keep in mind, if the vessel being "tugged" is larger than the asteroid, then its speed would be affected too. Of course, this is going to happen with any size ship that you do this manuver with, but, if the vessel is too large you...

Not if we make it out of a strong enough material. Plus it all depends on the relative speed, how big the body is, what its made out of etc etc. What I just said is basically the same thing as the drawing above, its just that the part the body is dragging gets reeled in to sit on the hook/tether...

Yes thats basically what I had in mind. I like to think of someone on a skateboard tying a rope to a car and riding it down the street. :rofl: The thing is, the suspended probe on the tether would have to have some kind of small thrusting system, so it wouldn't drift into the body. Or...

I was thinking if we just outfit the landing probe, suggesting it can successfully land, with some kind of instrument(s) that would scan outward as the body moved along and see if there's anything we can see out there that we can't see from here. I don't know really - its just an idea. I don't...

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...

What I was saying was that 300 M was high enough so you wouldn't have to worry about hitting Titan's atmosphere. And I took on Titan lunar-style the first time I went there, thinking, "Well.. it's a moon isn't it?" ;) So hovers took up most of my decent as it didn't take long to chop of...

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...

Ahahaa been there :lol: I was taking a DGIV down and after about 20 minutes I started getting anxious and loosened up on the hovers so I could gain some speed. I actually at one point went downstairs to watch some special report on TV and came back up to find I was still a few minutes from...

Yes thats what I was thinking of. Hopefully this will really open up TransX for me - I'm more of an IMFD person for several reasons. Don't get me wrong though, they're both amazing tools. -----Post Added----- Maybe, instead of overwriting, it could create a whole new scenario. Then have...

Now if only we had a way (do we? o_o) of exporting the data from your program into TransX in orbiter...? Maybe, export the data in a text format which you could place into some sort of configuration file in Orbiter's directory that TransX could read from when it starts up...?

Small off-topic comment here.. I have much sympathy for you, Thunder. I attempted learning C++ from a Dummies book, as the series has helped me with other things before, and I was completely dumbstruck when it all of a sudden introduced classes. Thats what made me backburn it and eventually...

Wowee. Thanks, Escape. Cheers! :cheers: -----Post Added----- Bahaha! I disagree - it would be very fitting with the furry dice!! :rofl:

Trip to the ISS (unedited) Nice simple trip to the ISS in the NASA VSE SC addon. Might try the moon later on.

WOW! Nice setup, Artlav. Havn't checked this thread recently, and am very surprised to see such a wonderful collection. This is one of the reasons I had started this, so people would be encouraged to log their ventures and make it their own - glad someone picked up on it. I was laughing a full...

The XR5 Vangaurd? No. None of the XR series do - its acent profile is bent on a strategic use of SCRAM engines during atmospheric acent to slide into orbit after another burn at your apogee. However it does have other great multipourpose AP's. Such as, as mentioned above, the attitude hold...
