Hi. I'm currently working on a project for X-Plane, which includes importing of the DG's VC meshes from orbiter for use in X-Plane. I currently have a script for converting from blender to X-Plane and vice versa, but I need to convert the Orbiter-related .MSH files to import the DG's VC for...

escuse me gary, guess i forgot this...... no end to homework......... ill try retro burning on opposite side of planet, and i know the DGIV reentry checklist.

i asked a question in this page. why arent anybody answer me?

i'll check, but i have to shut off the computer. bye:)

in what distance from the base should i be when RETRO burning? i'll take this knowlegde with me and whenever (if) i'll fly the real DGIV then i'll remember you, great guys that teached me when i was so young.:P:) but if any case somebody can make a corresponding replay scenario, then post it in...

i secceed!!!!! i sliced thru the atmosphere without disentegrating during EI!!!!!!! i did it with the DGIV, but my elevons didn't work, so i crashed when i came to glideslope. ---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ---------- i did the reentry without any...

kk thx

is the perigee the PeR on the Orbit MFD? because if it is then i do it alright- PeR 5.600

first, thank you all guys, these information was very helpfull. second, i tried to do some reentrys with the DGIV(i stopped counting at the third one :))..... i burnt all the times. i knew it was because of my speed, but i dont know how to deccelerate to 10-15 m/s(i saw somewhere this is the STS...

i tried a reentry with the vanguard to be familiar with the procces, and at about 60 km altitude, my hull heated to 70 degrees celcius. i pitched up and down to get more airflow under the hull to cool it, but instead of cooling, my hull kept heating, and i started to climb. what the heck do i do...

okay, i'll try to insert an orbit.......

well, i do have the auto FCS, but i don't know how to activate it, and i dont like to open a MFD unless it's an AP because i don't have stick & pedals so i need to wait till i have enaugh money to buy them, then it will be more comfortable for me to fly without an AP.

i think it helped me..... P.S. i downloaded the two MFDs listed above, but when it all comes to MFDs, im lame!!!!!! (XD) in fact, im so lame, that i dont want to open a MFD if its not an autopilot..... P.S. bon apetit:)

yes indeed

i do have the XR2, but when i use the hold altitude autopilot the XR just keeps rising instead of 'sinking' towards earth
