How so? I'm thinking those satellites that came with DGIV (I think) would work good too. Ill add it to the list :cheers: Yes think of it this way, if we have 98,900kg absolute maximum, with only a single tank load, that is much less than a single payload from the Ares V. So what is that...

Coding is easy, modeling is hard :thumbup: Ill give modeling a go tomorrow, though most of my previous attempts have resulted in models not worth looking at, it was a while ago the last time I attempted it.

For parts that have heat shields and whatnot, but you realize this would be for the MSS... like putting a huge heat shield over the ISS. I am pretty sure the joints, solar panels and connecting pieces where not meant to take a lot of wind resistance & heating. :thumbup: also lugging around a...

Oh yes right forgot about the km part. And that means I divide 16500/9.18 to convert to Isp measured in seconds right? In that case we have an Isp of 1797.38 which gives us approximately 98,900kg giving its all. -Probably more realistic I think.. asuming the dv is accurate as well. Otherwise...

Um yea, FSX would run on 7, though depends on your hardware capabilities of course. Make sure you have a graphics card other wise you might as well forget it. Lately I have not been keeping up on the current consumer price/standard hardware, so I would check with the specific GPU/CPU and see if...

Continued discussion from community section: OK some quick calculations, I am getting from this Delta-v_budget That it will take approximately 6.12 km/s DV from LEO to LMO. The Nerva2 has EMPTY_MASS=42000 FUEL_MASS=58466 MAIN_THRUST=1500000 ISP = 16500 Using Tsiolkovsky equation...

Sometimes people dont want to wait to download a program becuase they are lazy or have slow internet access. Whatever the reason, they might what to buy the CD. Like Ebay people trying to sell ubuntu...

Good ideas, I think something like the Phoenix WCL would work for the 'testing' of Mars surface samples. Maybe we could use the MER concept as the platform for testing material?

Which reminds me, Check out the OFMM wiki page; http://www.orbiterwiki.org/wiki/OFMM If I left any important parts out then you could add them please :thumbup:

This is getting rather long, anyway you mean this post http://orbiter-forum.com/showpost.php?p=168568&postcount=123 Your right about using almost existing technology though, its just a matter of getting some modelers to work on it and any other necessary development. Until that happens...

:blink: Woh be careful with those...

Good idea to setup COMSATs around Mars, we can do these with the Ares I think. Would the Carina 2 Satellite work or you thinking something else? Here is the thing though with launching separate vessels. If we launch one stack at a time (or otherwise not within the same month or so), we would...

I don't know, is the GDI MkI Miner.r packable/unpackable? Add it to the wish list if it isn't. --or we can start working on our own miner. Whichever way I guess. :cheers:

If someone could mesh it, then write a .dll that would allow it to be broken and 'fixable' then sure. :) Unless just going near a static mesh will constitute as 'fixed' then that works too.

Supersonic posted in the community OFMM area already about taking ground manager, though he said if no-one else will. I guess Ill let you two figure which is doing it (or both can, doesn't matter) My thought was materials like gold or something is really valuable, so I think if people on Earth...

Things we need dev... Alright, continuing from the last long post, we need a few things developed before we can leave LEO. 1. Ashaman, do you think you can integrate your GDI MkI Miner with my soon to be finished program? Basically, I want the miner to its location with available resource...

So since there should only be 1 user it could use a .lib, but as long as opcPreStep and opcCloseRenderViewport are actually called from the .dll using the .lib then it should be fine.

Quite simply, I want to hide a particular portion of the code from others, while still letting them integrate. So I know a .dll is a dynamic library, while .lib is a static library. However, the functions I need are dependent on the simulator state (ie it uses opcPreStep) Can I use a .lib...

Unless the landing factor as Columbia said is fixed, or the taking off factor, (reassembly of space shuttles) is called for, them maybe it would be better to use XR2/DGIV in shuttles place? If we build this thing, make sure the parts are separated as well, so that they are constructable in...

woh nice :thumbup: I take it the 2 tanks on the upper right side is 2x shuttle ETs, and the 2 vessels attached look like space shuttles with a few parts missing. I am not sure what the launcher in the center of the space shuttles is but whatever it is, it looks cool. :cheers: well Mars does...
