Thanks Face. My *.pdb files appear to be in C:\Orbiter2016\Orbitersdk\samples\Atlantis\Debug (I can see that the *.pdb files in there were created recently), while the C:\Orbiter2016\Modules folder contains the following dlls: Atlantis Atlantis_SRB Atlantis_Tank The 'Date modified' on those...

Thanks Urwumpe. I've selected debug from the options at the top of VS (see attached image) I'm not sure what you mean by 'debug installation of Orbiter'. I'm compiling the sample direct from the samples folder of my only Orbiter installation. I'm managing the code as a git repo. Is there a...

GLS thanks for the hint. I'm attaching to process and I've added a breakpoint on the 1st line of ovcInit() in Atlantis.cpp - still no luck. I'll play around by rebuilding and looking at the scenarios and see if I can figure it out, however if you have any advice or ideas please let me know. It's...

Thanks cyph0r, soumya-8974 and Face. cyph0r thanks for that additional info on the move constructor - very useful thanks. I've played around with getting Atlantis into orbit a few times before, and I've been studying aspects of rocket science and the physics and mechanics of space flight as...

I'm trying to debug the Atlantis sample for the first time. I've added breakpoints in places I'd expect to be hit, for example on ln195 of Atlantis.cpp which seems to create the Space Shuttle Main Engine - I'd expect it to be hit when I first launch the Atlantis sample: //...

Thanks Urwumpe. What's GNC? Is there a better option than Orbiter to learn about real spacecraft software development? What would you recommend? Have you worked on real spacecraft flight software? There's a guy Joe Barnard who's started a model rocketry company called BPS space who has some good...

I've started SDK development using Orbiter. I'm doing it so that I can learn flight software development, as I want to work on real space flight software development. I'm an experienced software engineer but a complete C++ and Orbiter noob. I've now got the Atlantis sample building thanks to...

Hi Face, and cyph0r. I'm using the vanilla Orbiter 2016. I've changed to using VS2017, as the props sheets that Andrew Stokes talks about in his YouTube are for VS2017 (2019 is still new, I'll leave it for now). cyph0r, your fix works :hailprobe:. Thanks so much for your amazing effort on this...

Face, thanks so much. I'm just starting Orbiter and didn't expect any reply, so it's fantastic to get your advice! I'm an experienced software devleloper however I'm a complete C++ and Orbiter noob (I've done some Objective C and Python before and I'm usually C#). I'll start again with the...

I'm a complete Orbiter noob. I'm trying to compile the Atlantis sample from Orbiter 2016 using Visual Studio 2019 (preview version). I'm getting the following error in the Atlantis_SRB project: Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall...

I'm interested in developing a readily pluggable UAP for Orbiter. In particular, I want to play with the extra-terrestrial landing phase. If anyone happens to be reading this and you're interested in co-developing this via github, please email me. [email protected] :)

Hi there. I've just joined the forum and I don't really know what orbiter is all about. I came across it when searching for 'spacecraft autoland'. I want to get information on spacecraft landing, as I want to develop/enhance software for space exploration and I'm interested in focusing on flight...
