    SDK Question Advice for Printing a Vessel's Name on Exterior?

    Hi All, I was hoping for some advice for how to go about printing text on the exterior of a vessel's mesh. I want this text to be dynamic and based on text declared in the class's clbkSetClassCaps function. The default DeltaGlider does exactly this witht he craft's name printed on the verticle...

    SDK Question Help Building ShuttleA

    Well I feel a bit silly. I didn't change the output file in the linker section. I've done that now and my dll is there, but it doesn't seem to work. It's as if it's a 'blank' vessel. Orbiter doesn't crash but seems the module doesn't contain any info, if that makes sense.

    SDK Question Help Building ShuttleA

    Thanks Blake for the response. I actually set the output directory to a subfolder withon Orbiter's Modules directory. I did remove the original ShuttleA.dll just to check but nothing.

    SDK Question Help Building ShuttleA

    Hi all, I am trying to build the ShuttleA provided in the Orbiter SDK sampels. The solution is building without errors, but I am not getting any .dll generated, instead only a .exp and .lib. Would anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I have actually never attempted to build anything in the...

    OHM ISV Pegasus V2.0

    Hi Submariner, thanks fo rthe feedback! Unfortunately I made this so long ago and I don't have any documentation for it other than what was provided. I know the Ares lander is difficult to fly, but I rember sucessfully landing and taking off. My only advice would be to make sure you are...

    C++ Question Advice for Calculating Vessel's Temperature?

    I think I'm going to have to ask for some advice again... As I previously mentioned, I want to now calculate the temperature affect from the ambient atmosphere. After this, I will then try to calculate for dynamic pressure/friction heating. I figure a good place to start would be to get the...

    C++ Question Advice for Calculating Vessel's Temperature?

    Thank you all so much for all the info! @n72.75 thank you for the clarification... I had completely overlooked masso_O And thank you for the info on stiff equations. I have encountered this before but I was not aware there was a name for this. I have something which works better now, but still...

    C++ Question Advice for Calculating Vessel's Temperature?

    Hi All, I have been stuck on something for a few weeks now, and I am just going round in circles. My goal is to calculate a temperature reading based on some defined parameters (like surface area, emmisivity, etc.) Right now I am not getting into any aerodynamics or atmospheric thermodynamics...

    Problem Can't land DG on bases situated on "small" moons

    Hi Marcin, From memory it is quite fiddly, but everything I needed I found in this thread: https://orbiter-forum.com/threads/orbiter-texture-tree-tools-ot3.34136/ Hope it helps!

    SDK Question Advice for Calculating if Vessel is in Sunlight

    Hi All, Hopefully a quick question here: I have a function which returns true if a vessel is currently in sunlight.... sort of... Essentially I am calculating if the local reference body is obscuring the sun, this is simple enough. However the issue arises if my vessel is say orbiting one of...

    C++ Question Need help returning local direction's angle to sun

    Thank you so much Martins! That is perfect, works exactly how I need it to now. I think I need to familiarize myself with the math functions more... I often find myself neglecting to use them... Thanks again!

    C++ Question Need help returning local direction's angle to sun

    Thanks for the reply! From what I can see in NASSP's code it doesn't really work out for what I am trying. As for your suggestion, I think that is straight-forward enough, but one thing I am really having diofficulty with is creating a rotation matrix for my defined direction vecotr in the...

    C++ Question Need help returning local direction's angle to sun

    Hi All, I would appreciate help with something rather complicated which I just can't seem to be able to approach on my own. I want to return the 'angle' to the sun of a direction vector in local-vessel frame. To better explain I have posted below code which achieves something simillar...

    Project IPEC Pegasus (ISV Pegasus 3.0)

    Hi All, Thank you so much for the suggestions. @n72.75 thank you for the advice, your comments on having a draw value in watts and calculating current based on that was particularly useful. I have since started to rewrite the systems API with an architecture closer to this, however my dear old...

    Project IPEC Pegasus (ISV Pegasus 3.0)

    MFD blackout! That’s a great idea! Yes this is the kind of affect I meant. Easy to simulate/calculate, but I was just stuck on what the actual affects might be. I have something like when you turn on HGAs, you get additional Mac receivers and IDS functionality, but beyond that I wasn’t sure how...
