MCOF Hi ACSoft. I love AMSO because it combines the freedom of orbiter with the complex mission parameters of apollo. If you would like help integrating Virtual Cockpit stuff please let me know, maybe I can help you with that. Also you may know I'm developing a program called Mission Control...

Ok martin. I had to write my own Matrix code because the visual basic .net is too unreliable and you can't look at all the elements. So I applied the rotations. A few things I did different to your instructions. 1) Phi seems to be Y axis and Theta, X axis 2) in this example inclination = 52.31...

Gee I suppose I had better admit to this one: I was timing the boiling ("burn") of an egg and I was fixated on the timer counting down to zero. When it hit zero i'm like "SHUTDOWN" and turned the gas off. A perfect burn!

Hi. Its ok. Martin replied to my email and gave me an idea of how to go about it which is actually not so straight forward. Here is the part of the email: " - sample the equator with a closed polygon at a resolution of your choice. - build a rotation matrix from the two orbital elements that...

Ive just completed the following test: Running orbiterMC on three computers at the same time. One of those computers was the orbiter.exe host. Ran absoultly perfectly with great framerate. Each computer has different OS installation, version and hardware and I have had no problems running it...

I've been unable to find anything on the web about that error and I am unable to duplicate that error on 3 computers here at my place so I think it would have something to do with your operating system setup. Maybe you need the latest .NET framework because that error is a Visual Basic error but...

please post a screenshot and list some details about your OS The only thing I can think of is that you need the latest .NET framework version

Are you sure you have maintained the directory structure of the zip: e.g.: c:\orbiterMC.exe c:\images\EarthLo.jpg c:\images\Moon.jpg you must make sure the images are present in that relative location. Also have you made sure that you select the correct Port number in...

Hi All. I just did a casual play of orbiter 2008 with the scenario Challenge 1. The challenge is to take off from KSC in a DG and dock with the ISS using as little fuel as possible. You need to beat Martins score. Here is how I did. Anyone else get any closer? Cheers

New Website Hi all, Well its official. Mission Control for Orbiter has a homepage. You can go there now by following this link. http://new-frontiers.sourceforge.net/index.htm The program also has a place on sourceforge so avid coders can help out if they like or just keep tabs. All...

Update: Ok I have just finished reprogramming the network code. Now its super stable. Upcoming features: * Attitude Display * Ascent Profile * Autoswitching maps based on current major body of influence The new code produces the highest possible frame rate of information and its all based...

Alpha Ok everyone. I'm releasing an initial alpha because I want to make sure the program is working on other peoples computers. You will need to download the OrbConnect Mod from: Orb:Connect v1.0 And you can download the Zip which you just extract anywhere to your computer ensuring to...

I don't know if this equation is entirely correct because if I was orbiting from north to south pole, this equation assumes a constant progression along the x-axis which clearly isn't the case in a high inclination orbit. I think there is more to it then just plotting a sin graph as well...

Thanks so much. I'll give this a shot

Hi. The programming language isn't the issue, just getting the math is all I need. Skins are definatly on the horizon and not impossible for me to do but right now I'm getting the mechanics all working. What I could use is an internet test. Can someone run OrbConnect on an orbiter client and...

Does anyone have some source code to the MAP MFD used in orbiter or even the MAP displayed in Aerobrake MFD. I've been trying to work out how to plot an orbit on a map and I've been using spherical coordinates whereby PHI is my inclination and Theta is given by the True Longitude...

I'm not actually quite sure how to do this. any ideas?

update Hi all. Here are some initial screenshots of the Mission Control for Orbiter at work. This is the home screen which allows you to connect to an orbiter client and establish an uplink to begin a communication session with that client. At all times you have control over the speed of the...

Just some food for thought with this concept: You could have crews of mission control running all over the world who take turns at controlling the mission, handing over at every shift whilst the pilot gets some sleep or plays the mission in real time!!!

thanks Thanks so much, I was starting to manually calculate the elements using my own maths. Also one other problem, to get the PeA from the PER I need the radius of the earth. How to I get this using your API???
