Is rotation the only animation available in a UCGO vehicle config file? I've seen scale and rotate in other cfg types and was just wondering, since I can't find any reference to them anywhere.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just now came back to edit my question to say that I figured out what you just said - only RCS and engines can have thrust components. I guess my space-tug is going to be in business for a while yet.

And now for what should be a ridiculously basic question... My understanding is that any module that is built using an ini file can be modified to function with the IMS system by replacing the ini with a cfg file with the properly formatted parameters - the way it's described in jedidia's...

Sorry. Re-reading my comment, I did over simplify a bit. But I think you answered my question. I'm talking about using the "exterior" components of a module - MeshName, docking/attachment points, size, inertia, and so on and reconfiguring it by putting in a different ModuleType and associated...

If I wanted a batch of identical trussed modules that could be assembled into a 'block' or 'cube' formation, would it be as simple as changing the mesh reference in similarly sized modules to, say, BM230?

Thanks. I knew it would be something simple; isn't it always the simple things that make you crazy? BTW, a large "Thank You" to you and the dev team. This is a really nice piece of work and has opened up possibilities I've been wishing for since forever.

I'm sure that there's a simple answer that's going to make me feel like a complete idiot, but I haven't been able to find the right procedure for resupplying my station. Hydroponic food production is terribly slow, so the obvious thing would be to resupply by bringing up a cargo of food. But...

My other problem is that I really need a bigger screen. If I use a resolution that fits the entire width of the control panel, the labels and numbers are unreadable or nearly so. Also, I'm still very much a novice - I know you can turn a lot of the "realism" off in the DG-IV, but the extent of...

Thanks, all, for the input. I downloaded the DG-IV and tried it out. It looks like a sweet ship and I'll probably "trade up" at some point, but right now I'm still learning basic orbital maneuvers and such and I'm gonna stick to the Stock DG for now.

Hello, all. I'm a very new user of Orbiter - I'm staying confused a lot but also having a ball learning. I'd like to change the skin on my DG occasionally, but after looking through the add-ons I'm a bit confused. I'm using the default DeltaGlider in Orbiter 2010 v.100603. Which type of...

Well, hiya, folks. I just downloaded and started the process of learning Orbiter. I have no flight or even flight sim background, and no more understanding of physics and orbital mechanics than any average space program nut. So... good thing I have plenty of spare time. I expect to be spending...
