Welcome!

My background music for working today is FIP, a french musical radio. You can listen online here : https://tunein.com/radio/FIP-1051-s15200/ It's very eclectic and always in good taste. It got a surge of popularity now that Twitter's CEO designated it "Best Radio of the world" :thumbup: Edit...

I just came across this article in French from Swiss research university EPFL about mass and gravity : https://qi.epfl.ch/question/show/314 I'm not sure how well Google Translate would do with it, but here are some interesting bits I found: - They write about how Einstein predicted the...

Wow, I stumble upon this thread. Thanks a lot for you efforts in bringing back to life this really nice project!

A small flight for you, a milestone for this noob ;) Nothing to write home about, but here are some pictures of my first close-encounter with Mars, flying the XR2. Taught me a lot about TransX, much more than what I thought I had understood doing Earth-Moon runs. Proper Mars landings are...

Love the discussion! You guys lost me long ago, but this thread tells quite a lot about the OF community :tiphat:

That must have been an amazing journey! Don't hesitate to post some of those astro / JPL / observatory pictures ;)

But isn't graviton an hypothetical explanation itself? Or maybe I'm just missing the point entirely :) But indeed now that you mention it, I've read about mass being energy.

Thanks all for the clarification! So much remains to be discovered, this is actually quite exciting ! Indeed, I guess that was the big question behind all this :thumbup:

Hi guys, Do we actually know what makes gravity? I guess I understand the difference between Newton's approach (he describes it, predicts how it will behave, but does not explain it) and Einstein's (he actually offers an explanation on why it behaves as such through the curving of spacetime...

Look at the size of this thing! XR-2 dwarfed by XR-5 in LEO

Thanks guys! I understand things are indeed in flux at the moment, with some cornerstone addons such as OrbiterSound and UMmu not entirely up to speed with 2016. Well, there's already a lot to do anyway as it is, so it was just me being a spoiled little kid with all that superb community work...

Hi guys, Would anyone still have the Wideawake International Ascension Ultra 2010 Edition somewhere ? It's supposed to be a quite stable beta and I would like to see if it works with Orbiter 2016, as the current downloadable version does not seem to work (the base is almost under water. Might...

Welcome! Impressive résumé here ;)

Indeed. Mines are prefixed with BASE-xxx or MFD-xxx or STATION-xxx to find a specific addon more easily for activation / deactivation. And congratulations Topper for this very nice addition! Impressive!

Then you're all set! Orbiter addons development is done in C++, and Lua is just a simpler layer above that. But with C++ you can do whatever you want with Orbiter.

Coming from KSP myself, I have the same difficulties adjusting as you do, for the same reasons. So far, I have been flying the XR fleet too, as suggested above. This is what I've found the most "hands-on" and fun. Even though that ship's characteristics make it totally un-realistic (if you do...

Ok, I really need to learn how this base building & station assembly is made possible!

Really great stuff you made, lots of very original and pragmatic ideas to make Orbiter better. Very creative! And as you said, each time you learned new stuff ;) (classical programmer journey of launching a side project -> learn stuff -> drop it somehow -> find later that you can use that stuff...

Thanks guys, lots of great inspiration ! I even did not know you could actually fly missions to build a base in Orbiter! (and I guess dev work will probably appeal to me too after a while... )
