Cool thanks for your reply. I like lots of numbers and buttons to push in my spaceships and airplanes.
I just posted two more pictures from a different angle with the hopefully final set of MFDs I used / will use for the Arrow. They show the Arrow coming in for an ugly off-angle Mars...
This is the second simple simpit I have come up with. The first used a secondary monitor laid out almost flat in front of the big one and Autohotkey to move all the external MFDs to the right position.
This is a little more work to set up for each flight but in the end you get an F35-like...
Thanks for that tip.
I tried a probe using 7.5km/s dv from Earth instead and got an encounter speed of around 20km/s. That mostly makes sense if you add the orbital speed difference between planets, the speed to get there, and gravity from mars speeding you up towards the end of the trip. I...
I have had a similar problem with Velcro rockets that was driving me crazy after an Orbiter restart. Sometimes the rockets will fill back up with fuel instead of using the prplevel as defined in the scn file.
What I ended up doing was copying the config file, editing, renaming, and referencing...
I have 2 orions docked together along with alot of extra landers, fuel, oxygen and supplies. I have been building it all there for a long time now. As to why, it seems like radiation and EMP would be less of a concern all the way out there and I though it would be more fun too.
Maybe I will...
I am about to launch a fast manned mission to mars and am still coming up short of fuel in my calculations. I want to do a fairly straight trip using about 10km/s dv. This will be from lunar orbit so it will be pretty fast. I am leaving around December 11 this year so the planets are...
I saw it too. They were very high when the debris came off so maybe it was not affected too much by the air and accelerated by drag. It did look to come off fast though.
I had this happen as soon as I brought up the appr/dock mfd. I had opened it before on the same flight with no trouble but the second time seemed to cause the bug. I was using the appr/dock mfd on extmfd at the time. Maybe all this is a clue.
I was hoping someone would bring this up. I start to fire mine a little lower than starfish and the yield on this at 100% looks like something in the 5-10 kt range. Much less powerful than Starfish Prime. That is just a guess though. Maybe someone else will speculate.
I can probably even...
This is really nice so far, good job. The download was slow for me though.
Looks like Ark beat me to posting a launch design and/or idea. I had the same idea just to fling it up above the ocean where it would not cause as much emp damage. So far I have come up with a semi-economical launcher...
Thanks for your response. I have that file in the Orbiter folder and moving it out does not make a difference either. It appears that CameraMFD is incompatible with 64 bit Windows.
