Keyboard cowboys! Answer on simple question: how should look Orbiter from user perspective. What user, not programmer, need/want? Instead of making noise about coding.

OK. Development continues. Any milestone list? What is a way to add more API calls? What API calls are planned to remove? Any plans to change MFD API redesign?

What about Martins last release with DX7 on x86 before mowing to x64 and @jarmonik graphic engine?

Selfie was a joke.

On last few days I am already observing 28 MBit/sec data downlink from JWST on 25.9 GHz. Looks like JPL guys taking selfies from L2 orbit. https://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html

Ok! JWST arrived at his new home! Congrats to all! :hailprobe:

There are addons, who allow run orbiter over many computers in network with goal to make multiscreen simpit system. I already made some tests and it looks like good altenative to complex multiprojector setup.

Some info why mirror segment deployment and alignment takes many months: https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/01/13/mirror-mirroron-its-way/

From my knowledge how it works: 18 mirror segments on main mirror and 1 segment(?) on secondary mirror Each segment on main mirror have 6 servos on corners + 1 servo to change shape/bending for segment. Secondary mirror have 6 servos/ Calibration process ( program in GWBASIC ): 10) Coll down...

Origami stuff are fully deployed. Need to coarse tune all 18 mirror. This will start any moment and continue next 2 weeks. Then L2 insert burn. Than 3 month fine mirror alignment and instrument calibration. Where is WEBB?

Sorry, for offtopic and spam. This is in russian, but you will figure out the story. After sunshield deployment magnitude changed from 16 to 14.

Yes, you missed them. There are meshes and textures... https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter/tree/main/Texsrc https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter/tree/main/Src/Vessel/DeltaGlider https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter/tree/main/Src/Vessel/ShuttleA

To my understanding there are two different things: Open source Orbiter, what you already successfully compiled 3rd party addons, who are separate projects/solutions Because there are some nifty things to get 3rd party addon compiled, I recommend you to start learn by recomilling Rcontrol and...

So? Most useless answer. Does this directory structure solve problem? YES or NO?

Is there any recipe how to compile Open Orbiter under linux without Visual Studio? For example: user@computer:~$ cd orbiter/build user@computer:~$ cmake .. user@computer:~$ make user@computer:~$ sudo make install or something similar.
