Hello there

[White Owl]

Hi people.

Been playing that other spaceship orbiting game for awhile now, so maybe it's time to learn about the original. I have the sim installed and running correctly with a pile of addons, and plan on spending tonight practicing orbital maneuvers with some sexy spaceplanes.

Probably will make a few videos about Orbiter sometime soon, since that's my hobby: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheWinterOwl

I'm sure I'll have questions and comments aplenty. Good to be here. :tiphat:

Thanks for the welcome.

And now I wonder, before I go make a superfluous new thread in the help sections... what might have caused the pitch ladder to disappear from the HUD except for in the virtual cockpit? VC HUD is fine. The other two views have the central directional marker, but no pitch ladder or any other info. I bet it's something simple I configured wrong.

 

[Castor]

You are most probably staring into the docking HUD, so just press H to cycle through surface, orbit and docking HUD's.

If that doesn't work, try pressing Ctrl+H.

 

[White Owl]

Nothing so simple, I'm afraid. I'm off to start troubleshooting addons. Whee.

Edit: Aw hell, it's my TrackIR. Disable that module, and the HUD works correctly again. And I love my TrackIR! That was a feature I was most looking forward to; a major benefit over KSP. Oh well.

If you can't solve the problem, please go ahead and post in the General Questions and Help section, preferably with a screenshot of your problem.

LOL I just found exactly that thread. Yes, the solution is rather clunky and inconvenient but it works.

Welcome to Orbiter-Forum!

I remember seeing your KSP videos a long time ago, with the "OXCART" (Orbital eXtra-atmospheric Controllable Aerial Return Transport). Gotta love aerospace backronyms.

I have one of my own (High Altitude Test Satellite Using Numerous Experiments).

Aww hell, a noob that almost knows what they're doing, it must be christmas

Anyways, welcome to the forums, I particularly liked the LP you did in the Spitfire Dawn campaign

to The Dark Side! I hate to break it to you, but they lied about the cookies. Yeah, I know. I was bummed for a while.

Even worse, I'm now being told the cake rumor is questionable as well....

Anyway, welcome aboard!
