Thank you for sharing your lessons learned! Just a technical question: since you provide CMAKE instructions, is VS2022 still mandatory? (motivation: trying to remove VS2019 from my framework, I would prefer a VS Code setup instead of upgrading to VS2022 - even if community - I wish VS Code is...

:mad: what do you mean? Gaia is an ESA mission, the data are ESA (and open), not NASA's. Please credit properly the work of others. your source is a NASA publication from non-NASA data, which does not transfer the authorship, never... same like when we speak about SPICE, which is a wonderful...

Patrol of 3 DeltaGliders Returning to base after a 1G formation flight training toward Phobos

hehe, you're right about opinions (but why did you include #4, then?! was it a test? then, I failed :eek: )... the same happens with the Moon surface: what is its color? Probably the reason why the Artemis II astronauts were asked to describe the colors they saw (and they saw braun-ish and...

I guess #4 is probably what we should expect from space, as compared with an image taken by astronauts

thanks for this snapshot, that actually surprises me!! Does anybody know what is this highly reflective material that the heat-shield is made of? Looks metallic, almost a mirror where we can see the handles of the ESM that grabs the capsule...

in my understanding, the graphic engine is responsible to illuminate the Moon, and to compute the light spread on its surface (a sphere) assuming its albedo 0.12 (if you say so) that must be input, indeed, but not counted in light sources: there are 2 sources here, the Sun and the Earth...

as a very simplified low (linearization to avoid computation of complex integrals), I would consider the phase angle \alpha (between the Sun and the target/moon, as seen from the reflecting body/planet) and define a light source in the graphic engine at the location of the reflecting body, whose...

(edit: lapsus) :D they're already flying to the East West of the near side, hence Oriental is at Nadir now for them.

My feeling is that keeping "specialized" files is better, because the most difficult in translations is the context, i.e. the "atmosphere" that must be translated. Then, multiple files is a way to clarify the context of each, even if that makes repetitions. In addition, personally, I am more in...

Hi, I've just started, you'll find progressively your files in this : https://share.obspm.fr/s/qbf9d4oTQacnE3Z I will tell you once completed. EDIT (March 28): all done -> @Gondos : see .zip attached, hopefully the file tree is correct

if the review concerns all *.fr_FR.po, I can take them from your PR, it's ok. Sorry, I can't help on the code these days.

hi, nice to see that!, I can see many .pot in your commit (https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter/pull/634/files). As I reviewed only one, if you did not review the others, do you request a review for all of the .pot?

At least not with OMP directly. OMP server computes nothing in terms of flight dynamics. The client only "runs" Orbiter and sends its vessels status to the server, only for the sake of signaling to neighbour vessels in other clients. If the client is stopped, all its vessels are deleted. In...

Without sharing my opinion about the price, I want to express how inspiring is this kind of work because industrial joysticks target atmospheric flights and home-made joystick could target all controls in Orbiter for "space" flight (e.g. RCS modes and cockpit/2D views & zooms, probably with the...
