I have a PR to your branch for moving the gravity models credits to their own section. There are a lot of things on that TODO list... Could we prioritize it into "necessity" and "nice to have"?

I forget if I've asked, @Thunder Chicken , but have you tried setting the max substeps to 100 or 1000? to see if that improves numerical stability.

Oh awesome. I didn't know/forgot that we have an items to complete list. XR sound should probably get a short section in both. As long as it's in its own TeX file/and document section, I think that's fine. @dbeachy1 is there anything that we can pull in from the 2016 version to make writing...

I finially made it through the developer manual. I didn't see any issues. Other than the TransX part, I think we're go on documentation?

It occurs to me that I have no idea how TransX works under the hood. What do you mean, it doesn't account for the planet mass? There are certainly some limitations that probably can't be avoided from a mission planing standpoint. Even IMFD with its lambert solver, I think it would be a real...

Section 21.2 in the Orbiter manual.

This would be really interesting to API-ify later. Conceivably, Orbiter could know where the water is and isn't with some kind of mask, or I guess it kind of already does? Hypothetically we could also add bathymetric elevation too on earth, titan etc. Ideas for Orbiter 2030....

I read through the Orbiter Technical Reference last night, no issues of note. will read through the other two soon.

you can sprintf at oapiDebugString()

Very happy to help with this. I have the documentation built and will read through it. um what!? wow. Yeah that would need to be fixed. I cannot speak to that, I presume the @Gondos and @Kozak would be the best to provide input for Lua documentation. the chm format is proprietary and...

atan(1/7.7) = 7.4° Why is the code like that? no idea haha, but it's a bit confusing... Anything I can help with on documentation?

If I were going to add clickable switches, to a bunch of panels like that, I would probably load switch meshes with the vessel code, rather than making the mesh contain a huge amount of identical meshgroups. I think you're fine with the texture.

There are a few "opportunities for improvment" with respect to the cryo fluids themselves. The big one right now is liquid bulk-moduli. They are currently fixed value. I've been working on making them dependant on pressure and temperature, but it requires transcribing an enormous table and I...

I agree. DrawOrbits should probably get a mention, but GenericCamera can probably just have its code-comments be the documentation. This is correct.

No, that sounds like an great idea.

I'm more thinking it could be related to some kind of pre-step/post-step or off-by-one timestep thing. It might be a pain to do, but you could probably figure out the errors introduced and propagate then through the calculations. IEEE-754 x64 should be able to represent sub distances to the...

Two thoughts: How far away from the Sun are you. There are precision limits if you get too far away. Is this error dependent on time-step length?

Technically, with the right TCP ports open (14242 and 14243), this is true :)
