Fixed incorrect pre-launch Azimuth calculation.

BrianJ updated LagrangeLaunchMFD with a new update entry: 250215 Read the rest of this update entry...

Brave man! I think its the scenario Lift Off TiMer (LOTM) status 3 thats at fault. 0 = Off 1 = Running 2 = Less than 10s to liftoff 3 = Finished I think you need to change it to 2 in your scenario (less than 10s before liftoff) Here's a tip: for launch scenarios you can delete all the custom...

Heading is not the same as inclination. https://www.orbiterwiki.org/wiki/Launch_Azimuth

Those hex colour values seem to go "backwards" so its BGR not RGB. From DrawAPI.h param col colour description (format: 0xBBGGRR)

Open the nosecone?

That's a new one on me. I've had the AB refuse to start but not a re-start after minutes.

Hi, yipes! My old PC can't handle that much exhaust fx at launch, so I've left the old settings, leave it to you to update them if required. I attach a "brianj_newglenn_test.zip" below with my current .ini and guidance .txt files, and a couple of scenarios for launching a 1200kg payload or...

Hi, that pic of exhaust looks better (y) I'm just working on a guidance file for it. Using an explicit pitch profile to override MS2015 autopilot until staging (MS2015 autopilot doesn't "know" staging happens early). Matches up pretty well with launch video. No problem with small payload but...

Hi, I don't have the Arrow so can't say whether it might be an engine configuration problem (e.g. does Arrow have a Main_Engine? Is IMFD configured to use it? etc.) You can always try making the burn manually. With such a long burn, I'd start at least 1/2 burn duration in advance of IMFD burn...

Good work (y) I'll give it a spin asap! Cheers, Brian

I got an extra 0 on the Stage_2 fuelmass! Use this FuelMass=235000

I'm not sure if New Glenn has Linear RCS, but if it does that might be useful? I seem to remember that you're doing well if you have a stage mass to fuel mass ratio better than 1:9, so maybe the stages need to be heavier.... [STAGE_1] EmptyMass=100000 FuelMass=1180000...

Hi, not much (any) info around for New Glenn...... Here's my two-cents worth based on some dodgy assumptions.... Assuming dry stage mass is ~proportional to stage surface area, and comparing to Falcon9 then: 1st stage dry mass = 55000kg 2nd stage dry mass = 10000kg Fairing mass = 2500kg each...

Hi, I'd like to oblige but I really don't have the time and motivation right now. Good luck trying to use the Falcon code - it has evolved over 6 years and there's stuff that even I can't remember what it does. The launch autopilot and control panel are all in the upper stage code...

Thanks for the suggestion, textures and mesh work (y) I hope everyone has the correct file now! Sorry about that. Cheers, Brian

Hello :) Aaargh! Yes - wrong .zip upload - my bad :rolleyes: Apologies to all. Now fixed with update 250126 Cheers, Brian

Fixed wrong .zip file upload.
