    Project Autopilot ScriptMFD by Thunder Chicken

    So I am considering a reorganization of my Autopilot code as I seem to have some logic conflicts between my heading and waypoint autopilots that prevents heading from being changed under certain circumstances, and my code is pretty bloaty and (I suspect) redundant. I also want to be able to fix...

    What music are you listening to?

    I'm neither, but that such an improbable rendition exists and that someone saw the need for it to be produced gives me hope for the whimsical nature of humankind.

    It gives me joy that such things exist:

    Project Boeing 747 Development Thread

    @Matias Saibene - You have lost your marbles, but I say that with the deepest awe and respect! This is amazing. :salute: Don't hurt yourself! Do it so long as it is fun for you, not because I proposed it in jest. I don't want that on my conscience.

    Updates Boeing's CST-100 Starliner

    I know they were talking about it, but I didn't realize they actually finally did it.

    Updates Boeing's CST-100 Starliner

    I didn't realize they human-rated the Atlas V.

    Programming Question What IDE do you use?

    Lua scripting with VS Code. Yeah, I'm weird.

    Project Boeing 747 Development Thread

    Erm, well...I'm afraid it's a bit more than docking ports: I posted it in jest (mostly). I fear I may have offered you a path to madness.

    What music are you listening to?

    I am not a musician or musicophile, but it is interesting how songs do have history. Covers and translations serve as mutations and adaptions that might allow a song lineage to survive to the modern day. I wonder how many songs from the medieval period simply vanished simply because the meter...

    What music are you listening to?

    I was actually watching news about Ukrainian drone strikes inside Russia, and there was a video floating about appearing to show an Ukrainian drone with speakers playing the tune of Son Ar Chistr / Was wollen wir trinken as it flew overhead. I have no idea of the veracity of that video and won't...

    The Future of Lua with Orbiter? Is it at a Dead-End?

    I just replied to your PM before I saw this. The problem is is that this error checking seems to halt script execution for completely functional scripts for things relatively trivial as undefined variables (which Lua just evaluates as nil and moves on). And for certain errors the script still...

    The Future of Lua with Orbiter? Is it at a Dead-End?

    @Gondos I've updated to the March 21, 2024 version of Orbiter and it looks good, except I am having problems with Orbiter loading the Lua modules associated with my Lua vessel add-on. If you recall this was the issue that I had during testing. You offered to look at my code to see if there was...

    Orbiter as a visualization tool of external data

    You could do something like this in Orbiter with a Lua MFD script. There are coordinate converters available such as oapi.global_to_equ.
