Thanks for releasing the code and thanks for developing this awesome simulator. I am trying to make a small space simulator (github.com/wedesoft/sfsim25) and I guess I should have a look at the Orbiter source code.
Return from lunar excursion with Orbiter 2016 and XR2
Here is the return trip from Brighton Beach to KSC. First a good parking orbit and eject orbit is planned and flown. In the second video an aerocapture is performed. The third video shows the reentry phase and the final video is the landing...
GlideslopeMFD
The autopilot does not display any "AUT" text. But GlideslopeMFD starts aligning the spacecraft with the landing pad when one gets close to it (several kilometers). Maybe if one never opens GlideSlopeMFD, it does not do that but I have not tested that. I definitely have Orbiter...
Lunar excursion with Orbiter 2016 and XR2
Here is my attempt at a flight from KSC to Brighton Beach. In the first video a suitable launch date and time is chosen (30th September 2017, 11:00 UTC) followed by a SCRAM ascent. The second video is about flying to the moon including corrective...
Glideslope autopilot engaging itself
Looks like the Glideslope autopilot is doing this. I can specify a different landing pad there. However it seems to fly there regardless whether the autopilot is engaged or not.
Thanks
Thank you. I reinstalled Orbiter 2016 and all the Addons I am currently using and now it is working. Probably there were some remnants of HoverMFD or one of the many other Addons I tried initially.
Always when I get close to Brighton Beach, the XR2 engages it's linear thrusters and tries to shift me horizontally for landing on Pad 1. I can't figure out how one can disable this and/or select a different pad. Has anybody encountered this issue before?
Hi,
I have created version 0.1 of a Orbiter and XR keyboard cheat sheet: orbiter-cheatsheet.pdf.
Comments, issues, pull requests are welcome. The Github page is here.
