Thank you very much for replying! I know we are all grateful for the time and effort you and folks like you put into making this simulation what it is! I have no idea what EML1 stands for, but thanks in advance for that, too! I think this is still an area of opportunity within Orbiter...

Thank you thank you thank you! As for question two, I'm guessing I would have to create a new "glidepath" file as per the GS2 instructions. I just made it work using the default glidepath but from ISS altitude (around 375km). I set it up in BaseSync de-orbit to do 1.4% angle 60% anticipation...

Hello! I'm trying to understand the GS2 / BaseSync relationship. I'm on Orbiter 2016 and I've tried this first with DGIV then switched to XR2 because I thought maybe the reason for the below issue was that DGIV wasn't technically compatible with 2016... but same issue. If I undock from ISS...

I have a lot of experience with basic tasks, but I wouldn't call my Transx knowledge advanced. I will check out the Lunar Transfer MFD!

Background: I'm off work for a couple weeks recovering from a minor surgery and decided to build a really neat UCGO lunar base next to the tram-line at Brighton Beach. Started off using XR2 but figured I'd get bored doing 50+ round trips to build my base so now am doing the XR5 with just one of...

I'm not using any auto-save add-ons. In fact, I haven't changed anything from when it used to work and now.

All of a sudden, my Orbiter does a CTD when I try to open the Aerobrake MFD. I've used it a bunch of times before, and the only change I've made is that I am trying to build a nifty lunar base with UCGO, so have a lot of new "items". But right now I'm in LEO (150 km), do basesync, then deorbit...

You're right. That did the trick! I got so used to the D3D9 that I practically forgot about the regular one. Thanks!

I wish it were that easy... I never removed any lines because it wasn't there... and still isn't... and it still doesn't work. As for the XR5 UCGO cargo... it's the exact same thing. I did exactly what you said based on the directions I already had. I have the cargo loaded, per the payload...

Control+F was the first thing I tried. :) I just saved a copy of the file into a txt and attached here. Is it possible I'm looking at the wrong doc?

Thank you SolarLiner for your prompt reply. I promise I had searched the forums and the web at large and couldn't find anything about it :) Ok, so I found the file Orbiter2010\Meshes\UniversalCars\bin\ConfigDarkScreen.msh but I did not see anything with "FLAG 5" or flag anything. It reads...

In all the directions for the UCGO things, it says press "H" to bring up the instructions... but since H also cycles through the HUD screens... this is where I might be getting confused? I go to the "cockpit" mode of any vehicle, for example, and press H and it cycles through a bunch of HUD...

Hi all! Been addicted to Orbiter for several months now, and have decided to try UCGO and more advanced things than just flying someplace and back. Whether I am using a PreludeII base, or the UCGO cargo for XR5, or even the "Drive all cars" scenario under UCGO, when I put focus on the cargo /...

Awesome! Thanks so much! That's pretty much what I was thinking ... about simply lowering onto it. Now I'm only left with whether there are keyboard shortcuts to engage and disengage the middle thrusters...

Ok i figured out how to remove cargo. Now I just don't know how to add it.
