I'm stuck, I'm working on an autopilot for my Prometheus Launcher once again and I've actually managed to get it to work reasonably well thanks to an updated understanding of PID controllers. I'm looking to improve on it and I need to get the LVLH direction vector of the vessel as well as being...

Well I know...something. This is an update of both Prometheus and my Orbiter Payload Handler so Prometheus is my test vessel. Unfortunately, it seems the newish OPH was the culprit. I've tried to convert OPH to using a .dll since I still can't figure out how to make .libs compile with different...

I'm using Orbiter's property pages and I also just confirmed that both of those libs are in the linker.

Ok, I installed the VC++2013 redistributable packages and it still doesn't work. Any other ideas?

So I'm trying to make some updates to my old Prometheus Launch Vehicle, but it's not even showing up in Orbiter. It's not crashing, and the Orbiter.log only shows this: **** Orbiter.log Build Aug 30 2010 [v.100830] Timer precision: 2.84443e-007 sec Found 1 joystick(s) Devices enumerated: 6...

Just wondering if anyone else picked up the 20th anniversary Blu-ray remastered re-release of Apollo 13? I couldn't buy it fast enough and it came this past Tuesday (HAIL PROBE!). I'm hosting a watching party for a few friends on the 13th!

So Hero of Alexandria shouldn't have built the Aeolipile because he couldn't mathematically describe how it worked?

I still can't get over "the line." I think it will be second only in cinematic history to "No, I am your father."

Are you getting the same 30fps with D3D9?

Was your framerate still around 30 when you got the imperfect results? Have you tried either running Orbiter_ng headless (really really really high fps) or using D3D9 which depending on the computer, should drastically improve the framerate?

Cagle (noted current-events cartoonist) did a series about Leonard Nimoy. I won't post them all, but number 4 was the best. I cried: http://www.cagle.com/news/leonard-nimoy/page/4/

There's a petition up on change.org to get the IAU to name a star after Leonard Nimoy. I signed without hesitation. https://www.change.org/p/nasa-name-a-star-after-leonard-nimoy

Well, you'd know if you were running fixed timestep as you have to go deep into the launchpad to enable it. Framerate can be quickly displayed by pressing F and there's a framerate grapher somwhere, I'll have to look this weekend if you don't find it before then.

Was this done under fixed timesteps? If not, what was your framerate from the Orbiter-side of things?

I ran across this on Sparkfun, this is a very awesome project! http://makezine.com/video/making-fun-mission-control-desk/

I think Artlav nailed it, it was the update rate of the entire loop rather than the clock rate. Still, that seems very slow despite it being perfectly fine of course. If anyone has a link to a resource that indicates that, I'd love to see it to get better context.

I was trying to prove a point to someone on the internet about reaction speeds, and I thought about something I read a long time ago but am now having trouble placing. At one time, I thought I read that the Saturn V launch computer operated at a cycle of 1Hz because "even a Saturn V doesn't move...

Apologies for the extremely delayed reply, full screen window does not cause a crash, but true full screen does. I also tested "Window with Taskbar" but it does not cause a crash either. I will test with R14 shortly. [EDIT]I did a test on my regular (though less than clean) Orbiter Install, and...

Ok, it's been quite a while since I've had to debug D3D9, but I'm getting a crash on exit. Fresh 2010-P1 Orbiter install, no addons (not even sound or UMMU), D3D9 R15. I've pasted my Orbiter.log, Orbiter_NG.cfg, D3D9.cfg, and the D3D9 HTML Log to this post (sorry, I can't attach it). Let me know...
