    Orbiter is now open source

    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.

    Flight Question XR2 flies to Pad 1 on Brighton Beach

    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...

    Flight Question XR2 flies to Pad 1 on Brighton Beach

    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.

    Flight Question XR2 flies to Pad 1 on Brighton Beach

    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.

    Flight Question XR2 flies to Pad 1 on Brighton Beach

    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?
