I've got thrustmaster with throttle. For LM I should have two joysticks - one for rotation and second one working in two modes: first one translation, second one 2-axis translation and engine thrust. But for DG it would be nice to have two joysticks and throttle. Perhaps in the future when I'll...

Yeah, I know it's possible. But with Autohotkey I can make it work in a way that I'll use one button to select engines (hover, main, retro) and throttle to set thrust. I guess in the future I'll simply add joystick and replicate full TICA/ACA. At least for the LM.

That's okay, I think I solved it. Attached hover engine to throttle through Fly-By-Wire and the rest through Autohotkey script. I wonder if not change it all for Autohotkey (very flexible system) to control all engines (hover,main, retro) through one throttle. It has it setbacks, but should...

Wow, this addon solved all my problems! Okay, almost ;) Is there a way to assign same joystick for Rotation and Translation? I thought joystick will inherit the setting from Orbiter (ROT/TRS switch), so I could simply map the RCS mode to button. However it seems that all axes work independently...

It's a bit more complex than that.

Hmm, I wonder if You can point me into calculations (I mean equations) for greenhouse effect in planetary bodies? The one I had was very simple and generated huge errors.

One word: power. But You have to remember - it only works on charged particles.

Hmm, okay. And in case of MFDs? I mean without using RemoteMFD or ExternalMFD. Just simply move existing MFD in glass cockpit to different position? It would be best if it was possible in transparent MFD mode. The issue comes with the use of triangular "windows" which would limit screen to some...

I think he means taking panel from one ship and merging it with other - ie. using DG panel with other craft.

Hmm, a short question - where did You find those switches You use on panels?

Hi guys, one of the problems I encountered is with the camera in the glass cockpit mode. Correct me if I'm wrong but by default it's centered within the spacecraft, right? Now what I need to do is to shift the camera left from that preset centerpoint. Is that doable? I know there's CameraOffset...

Hmm, thanks.

Hi guys, I wonder if any of You have an idea how to move that small MFD in glass cockpit (Main Prop, Main Eng, Hovr Eng) to different position on the screen?

True, though Skylab was just a simplified version of much more ambitious project that never flew (thank You Mr. Nixon).

You should take a look at Skylon concept.

So in other words it's possible to attach two controllers and set their behavior through cfg file? Cool, I've ben looking for something like that to code LM controls. Twis way I could replicate TICA and ACA controls. I wonder if it's possible to switch TICA controls from within the program...

Hmm, anyone of You tried running AMSO scenario "Apollo 15 final landing with dust"? If yes - have You seen shadows? I seem to lack object and vessel shadows in the sim. However in built in DX7 they show up fine.

Thanks! Well, I know for sure that Orbiter runs on two monitors with DX9 client beyond DX7 limit (I run ~2500 pix). I wonder if any of You tried it with two 1920x1080 tv screens? It should still be within DX9 limits. Heh... looks like nobody makes square LCDs :P I guess pivot option would be...

That could work I guess. But I was looking for something that could be binded with one of the keys, so it would reset with single combination like ctrl+F12 or smth. Anyway, thanks for that suggestion - I'll pursue it further.

You're still looking for that data?
