ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
I'm not sure I'm following, but for the aero surfaces of the DG the same groups are simply called in two different animation components without parenting them together, did you try to do that?
what if you don't leave the part hand blank in animation 1? I mean you animate the hand groups for the rotation in x direction, and then you animate them for the roation in y direction with anim 1 as parent, shouldn't it work?
do you mean to use or to edit? I guess to edit, but that would not be so simple since there would be no way to know before which one is a robotic arm and which is just an animation. Maybe I can think of some type of sorting the animations through cycle? separating automatic, manual and the rest...
if I remember correctly no scenario parameters are mandatory. VB saves everything by itself once created but for the first opening of a vessel nothing is mandatory (as a matter of fact vessels can be spawned through scenario editor without issues).
relevant to writing configs the only mandatory...
Hi! yes, I know the times are mature for the first release.
In italy we are in the middle of a long stripe of holidays (2/3 weeks almost) due to the combination of a series of national and general holidays so I keep going back and forth from home with the family and I couldn't touch VB in this...
that would be easy.
the issue is all about the orbit program. The multistage PEG algorithm is already very difficult, and the issue with VB is that it will not be designed specifically for multistage vessels so it will be very hard to identify the parameters of all stages. While with MS you...
can you explain a bit further also for other users' reference?
yep, I will check there are no other conflicts and do it.
I think it would be better to put this question in the GV thread
That actuall depends on how much extra works it is and if it has impact of users that do not exploit those functionalities. I think that most users that know how to use those kind of items, also know how to code a vessel by themselves without the help of VB, so I don't know if it is actually...
TBH I don't plan to change the backup procedure.
Each vessel has automatically a XX__Backup.txt file associated with it. Each time the dialog is open in the sim a backup of the current cfg file is appended in the txt file, each backup is marked with BEGIN and the date and time of the saving and...
Why the backup txt file is not enough? I am asking just to understand. It contains all the cfgs in the vessel's history and it is updated each time the vessel is saved, so when you save it or when you close the sim
Oh boy, too bad!!! I will check for ctds in this situation, but my recommendation is to save often while developing! Just hit ctrl + s or the orbiter save scenario button to save the scenario and the cfg will be saved/backed up
Going by memory because i m not in front of my pc, but i d use for both vessels a reconfiguration event triggered by a dock event. IIRC you can choose the docking port, if the event is triggered when docking or when undocking and if you want the name of the vessel. I have to say that i still...
The highlight groups function is a bit experimental. It seemed to work fine but I suspect it depends on the mesh file for some reason. I will add a note about this.
:10sign:
Congratulations!!!
There is no predefined key at the moment. There are two ways: use the dialog (just for testing...
