General Question can i program delta glider iv to enter orbit from earth?

[bemanos]

is that doable? enter a command or something and automatically enter orbit(on earth) or if thats not possible tell me how to do it. i have tryied many times and each time green cyrcle ends up as a very very VERY eliptic cyrcle (all i do is at 60-70km be at 40degrees then at 130 20degrees and i just wait mine cyrcle to evolve but it always ends up as an eliptic cyrcle.what should i do??!!


thanx

Delta Glider IV does have autopilot to take you into orbit.Look into the manual for the AP input codes. (it is something like "PRO903spec42") if i remember correctly.

 

[Kaito]

Pro903specxx
xx = the direction you want to lift off

So, if you were to type it on your keyboard, this is what it would be:
P 9 0 3 S 4 2

ok where do i put this code?(sorry iam quite new)

 

[Kaito]

Into the computer. If you're new, i suggest learning how to do orbit insert manually with the Default Delta Glider

!!!!!!!!! "computer you mean the thing with the screen when i ctrl and down arrow on delta glider?

Yes. It's in the PDF documentation.

Got that screenshot for your other issue?

[garyw]

have you actually READ the documentation that comes with the DGIV?

Another tutorial you might find useful is Trevor John's Tutorial. You can find it on the same site you downloaded Orbiter Sound. Look at the bottom of the download page on Dan's site.

It sounds like you are trying to circularize your orbit a little too early. Wait until a few seconds before your ApA and burn prograde. Burning too early will only raise your ApA and you will end up with a highly elliptical orbit or a ballistic trajectory (one that intersects the surface). It's all in the timing. Too early and you will raise your ApA too high. Too late and you will lower your ApA and end up with too low an orbit.
