    I never thought I would spend much time on a website selling used airplane parts at any time in my life, but in my search for textures and reference material for cool scrappy looking cockpit elements I ended up here and I'm starting to think I might not need another source of textures. Maybe...

    I do like the idea of using a heartbeat monitor to display stress and vitality, but I can't find a way to make it really readable in the games context while being halfways intuitive and displaying everything I need (current and current max). I thought about using the pressure (peak) of the...

    Some good ideas there, many of which I'm not sure I'm enough of a visual designer to pull off successfully while still giving the player clear information. I'll need to think about this a bit.

    Doing some early iterations on possible UI designs, and I think the thing I'm going to stick with is to make the whole UI look like panels in a spacecraft cockpit for a bit of atmosphere. I was wondering about what to do with the stats (drive, vitality, condition...) and had the idea I could...

    New update is finally out, I was already afraid I wouldn't make it anymore this month. Which would obviously not have bothered anybody except my motivation... This introduces UI sounds and a new job type with some more EVA activities. As always, I'm very thankful for feedback...

    Project Autopilot ScriptMFD by Thunder Chicken

    Short answer: Yes. Slightly longer answer: It depends on the cockpit implementation. So for the standard glass cockpit the answer is not, unless you count external mfds. Keep in mind however that, somewhat counterintuitively, what we describe as an "MFD instance" here is merely its...

    What music are you listening to?

    Man, I had forgotten all about how incoherent and just plain weird that song is... 🤪

    What music are you listening to?

    Interesting. I didn't figure you neither for the religious type nor for the overly patriotic type. Cute anime girls make up for a lot, I guess... :p

    Question Where can I find the "Spaceports 1.5" addon?

    It was completely migrated to this forum, so yeah, something definitely changed. It looks like multiple files were not considered in the migration. I didn't even know it was possible in the old hangar...

    The new update isn't quite there yet, but I've published the development update for April. It talks a bit about what's to come relatively soon (I hope), and also some ramblings about test-driven development and me and games, for anybody that might be interested...

    And now I also know where the fantasy caravan-sim "Vagrus" got its name from. Thanks a lot for the unexpected bonus! :LOL:

    So here's an interesting question that I've never asked myself before but suddenly realise I can't answer: Why does motion sickness cause Nausea and vomiting? I don't mean "why is motion sickness". I get that it's about conflicting sensory input. What I wonder is, why does it cause this specific...

    Orbiter Screenshot Thread

    At the frequency you're pushing out airports and cities, I have to wonder... Have you ever thought about doing some large-scale Moon- or Mars bases? Because there's a real lack of those, I feel like a part of the community would greatly appreciate something like that.

    Discussion Returning Yes or No

    On the one hand there's learning, in which the community is generally always happy to assist. On the other hand there's playing, which is mostly an individual experience with orbiter, for reasons expounded upon by DaveS above. There have been some VSAs, I think there still are, but again these...

    Surface Base Lunar Base Aurora Orbiter 2016 - not sure why a part is not showing....any ideas?

    My best guess would be that they're clipping with the ground... though I honestly wouldn't expect to still see their silhouettes then.

    It's kind of weird how sometimes you come full circle. It has been some time since I last managed to accidentally build an infinite loop into my code. The patterns that lead to them become kind of easy to spot after a while, and none of them has a chance to make it past the first unit test...

    Just looking at the thumbnail of the video, it seems like now we're using horrible AI-generated images when a simple quick photoshop session would have sufficed, and delivered much, much better results. I guess we just stopped giving any damns we might have had left...
