I'm just hoping we come up with something that will put us back in space period. I mean it's nice to see us co-operating with Russia where space matters are concerned (a far cry from the fall-out shelters of the '80's and the discussions of mutually assured destruction we used to have in my high...

The Apollo 11 landing happened the year I was born. I remember as a youth following the Apollo program from Apollo 17 through the Apollo-Soyuz mission and on until the last Skylab flights in the mid-70's. If anyone could be said to be a role model for the astrophysics techies and manned space...

I don't believe Mesh Wizard has any calls that hook into msvbvm50.dll. If it does they must be linked statically. However, Mesh Wizard's sister program Surface Base Wizard links dynamically, and that is the issue I'm still trying to resolve. I'll try re-installing the msvbvm50.dll package I...

No problem, bro. Good luck on your project(s)!! ---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ---------- You are correct, Virtual Machine for Visual Basic does not come with Vista "out of the box". I had to download it from Microsoft's VB support site and...

Andy, right click on MeshWizard.exe. You should get a popup menu with a list of options. One of them will be "Run as Administrator" with a security shield icon beside it. That worked for me. Let me know how it turns out amigo. Cordially, Nighthawke

Andy, I can confirm that this works for Mesh Wizard on my Vista x64 HP laptop. No dice, however for the Surface Base Wizard. However, I'm now getting a different error message for SBW. It now says something about an error in msvbvm50.dll, which is strange, I installed the Visual Basic 5.0...

I get the same error. With ar81's Surface Base Wizard as well. I also am on Vista x64. Would be nice to find a work around. I have a lot of surface tiles I would like to convert to bases and SBW looks like it would save some time if it could be updated to work with 64-bit.

As previously suggested, scrap LandMFD for LOLA. LandMFD has a bug which can cause it to CTD on SOI change. Also, if I recall correctly, neither LandMFD or LOLA play to well on bodies with atmospheres, although I have managed to get LOLA to function on Mars after a fashion. It doesn't work every...

Well, I guess you could call it landing. If your atmospheric parameters and flight model are set to realistic what actually happens (if you don't skip off of Venus' extremely thick atmosphere) is you slowly sink to Venus' surface. According to the most recent scientific data the atmospheric...

If you created a Level 10 texture, I believe the Venus_tile.bin and Venus_tile.tex need to go into the "Textures2" directory only. You then need to create a Level 8 Venus.tex from a 8192x4096 .bmp (preferably from the same source image) file to go into the "Textures" directory. I do believe that...

Great Work Very nice work!! Would be awesome to see a similar base for Mars.

I placed a patch on Orbithangar to resolve this very issue. You may be happy to know that Pluto-Charon 3.0 (to include Nix, Hydra and expansions to Kelvin Base and Charon Outpost) is currently in the works. I expect beta release within the next couple of weeks. Cordially, Nighthawke

My musical preferences span a wide range. For use with Orbiter, here's a partial list: Rock: Europe Rush Bon Jovi AC/DC Pink Floyd Blue Oyster Cult Lynyrd Skynyrd Boston Journey Yngwie Malmsteen Joe Satriani Country: Toby Keith Trace Adkins Sara Evans Classical: Mozart Bach Vivaldi Movie...

Can someone enlighten me as to how these are generated for the new version of Orbiter? I've been away for awhile (returned to the forums in May after a long hiatus). I know the 2006-P1 version supports Level 10, but I can find nothing in the docs on how to generate planetary textures at this...

Chode, 2552, Thanks for your replies. The problem with configData was the missing space. I downloaded the spice kernel and tried that also. It seems to give much better performance than my cobbled together config files. However I did notice that the orbits of Nix and Hydra fluctuate greatly...

Does anyone know if Tony Dunn's cfgData program still works correctly with JPL Horizons ephimeris system? I am trying to add Nix and Hydra to my Pluto add-on and I seem to be getting some bogus ephimerides from JPL via cfgData. Here is what I'm getting from cfgData after pasting e-mail contents...

Current status of my addons Eventually, I plan to bring my addons up to Orbiter '06 compatibility. I'll need some time though. My addon building skills are a little rusty at the moment. I'm having to re-download all of my tools, and read through the Orbiter '06 SDK and API docs to see what's...

Thanks, mate. Thanks, FordPrefect. I got in to M6 finally, it was so sloooow. But I was able to find the Area 51 dev thread and rebuild my config file. Looks like c3po already updated for Orbiter '06. It's amazing what you miss when you go on an extended sabbatical.

Thanks jgrillo2002, StarLost, Andy44, Thanks for the warm welcome back fellas. I downloaded Orbiter '06 the other day and all seems to be working fine on my recently purchased HP laptop under Vista x64. Picked up Seth's Level 10 textures for Earth and Mars, also. Amazing!!! I gave my old...
