This is a super-great MFD! Thanks for taking the time to make it! :thumbup: ---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 AM ---------- I was orbiting Europa, and set a course for the ISS. For the way the ISS was in orbit from my position around Jupiter... well...

So where is the XL70 add-on? I can't find it through the searches on this site, and I can't find it on Orbiter Hangar's search feature.

was it 6000 nautical miles away?

Has anybody done an Apollo 11 re-enactment in Orbiter to see if any part of the SIV-b was cruising along at a reasonable distance from the Apollo command module? If reasonable care was taken to get the TLI done correctly, and the separation of the command module from the SIV-b at the right...

UMMU_Tester, born with such a boring name and depressed by the years of orange and brown skies on Venus station, had reached his limit. He decided to end it all. He donned the Thermo-Suit 1000 (TM) and exited the airlock. He walked around a bit to see the station one last time. This station...

How NASA Funding differs from Prize Funding. Interesting presentation.

Perspective It's all about perspective. As an American living in Switzerland, and not spending much time with Americans here in Switzerland, I have a perspective that most Americans don't. I can't speak about the whole world's perception of America, I can give a glimpse of living among the...

Make Relativity Happen! (I think you meant Special Relativity, not General Relativity) I would really like to see Special Relativity built into the Orbiter Engine; This of course would mean that all objects would have to have a clock associated with them; one Earth Reference time, and a...

Kara? As in.. Like Kara Croft, the Tomb Raider? Oh that's Lara Croft. They look similar. My bad.

Holy Mackerel that is beautiful. That little point-out part -- the notch in the wing; wouldn't that be a bad place for it? Wouldn't it generate lots of friction on re-entry? And... isn't the female astronautrix a little too... well... you know... pointy? (I realize this is your dream ship...

Well, I have gotten closer! So here's my steps. 0) I'm using Generic Mod Enabler, so I can back out changes without having to destroy my whole Orbiter Directory. I have a naming scheme that makes it easy to find different types of mods: The folders are named AO for Add-on; Shp for Ship, Scn...

Got the SBBB for XR5 add-on (talking about this: XR5 Payload - Station Building Blocks 4.1) . No success loading any of the scenarios. I get a crash back to windows when I load ANY of the scenarios, and get this in the Orbiter.log file. FWIW, I have never been able to get the Burch modules...

i would like to add that a very useful tool for troubleshooting is to install all modules with the Generic Mod Enabler. I have found several times that it is not the incompatibility of modules that is the problem, but the order in which they are installed which can do it. For instance, I was...

My wife is interested in details about this. Not for the dog, but for me.

I have been running name servers that serve .COM and .NET and been running at least one root server for the last 11 years now. It pains me to not be able to speak my mind about this subject. You all may confuse my opinions with my employer's.

My recent thing is to get the XR1 and fly to Ascension and see if I can break my takeoff-to-landing record of 29 minutes 25 seconds. I think the only way I can shave that time down any more is to drain out some fuel to make my ship mass lower, which should help out with the acceleration a bit...

I've been looking for this! Any way you could upload them? Greg? Any way you could incorporate them and make an updated release?

After doing a Lunar Free Return, I decided to try to do a large mid-course correction, an inside-burn to get the ship to enter the atmosphere for a nice smooth aerobrake from Lunar Return. Man, this burn is taking forever. I kept burning down till a PE of about 75 km. I turned time...

First, the Shuttle has a lot more mass than your XR-1 does, so it requires a lot more lift to maintain that altitude for so long. But they have so much more mass because of all those heavy tiles. It would have been possible to build the Shuttle lighter with minimal (or at least less) heat...

Now THAT would be an awesome add-on for Orbiter.
