Regarding the aforementioned Orion: I've noticed a number of old mods that CTD when you switch to cockpit mode. I think the old Clydesdale and the Hiperion, and a few others I've tested had similar issues. Could this be a common, simple adjustment? I'm not sure how you'd test for that sort of...

Link?

Orion 2011 almost works... but switching to cockpit view causes a CTD.

Luna 3 was launched in 1959. :probe:

My interpretation of a famous Colliers illustration. :) (I couldn't figure out how to get the station flipped around the other way.)

I just wanted to say thank you, for creating IMFD. I've been away from Orbiter a while, just getting back into it. I remember not being able to understand TransX very well, but taking to IMFD quite easily. Now that I'm back, I thought I'd give TransX another go. And OMG the minutiae of tweaking...

That's basically what I did. The first time I tried it, I noticed it overshot the pad, then tilted its nose up to try to compensate and ended up flying backward and crashing. So the second time I ran it, I waited until it was over the pad (and it had got a bit past), then hit horiz hold and hold...

Ok that worked much better. I had to pull an Armstrong and take a bit of control at the end, but it got me much closer. :)

I think the second one was the one I was thinking of. Thanks! Though I agree, adding an atmo to the Moon is a bit of a hack.

Yep.

There used to be a plugin that kicked up lunar dust when you landed. I remember someone creating it around the same time as Moonbase Alpha, to make that scenario more "realistic". I can't find any reference to it anymore in this forum or at Orbithangar. Anyone know where I might find it, and if...

:rolleyes::facepalm::tiphat: BaseLandAutopilot works perfectly... except it thought the pad was .97 kilometers above where it actually was. Put PursuitMFD in autopilot, and it did a perfect approach but also stopped a kilometer over the base. Not sure if that's something the MFD creators will...

PursuitMFD's landing program doesn't seem to be working. (Or I'm not using it right.) I selected landing at Olympus base, selected a pad; at the appointed time it said it was burning and showed fuel being expended, but the craft hadn't oriented itself and was not burning, and no fuel was...

I'm back again... again! ;) But you've all probably noticed that already. I've had some great times since finding this program back ten years ago. I fulfilled my dream (that NASA took away from me) to go into space. Flew on the shuttle - in the pilot's seat! Went EVA to fix stuff on the ISS...

I decided to make a detour on my way to Mars. And learned a few things. Such as, don't try to make a fast approach on small objects, because you won't be able to see them until they're right up on you, and by then it's too late. :lol:

Another potential addon idea that a bouyancy dll (or script or whatever) would be good for: http://bt.e-ditionsbyfry.com/publication/?i=342068&ver=html5&p=26#{"page":26,"issue_id":342068}

Looks like Kerbal, with lasers. :lol:

Getting to learn Orbiter all over again. First, some aerial fun with the DG-EX... :tiphat: Then re-learning how to make orbital rendezvous. :thumbup: And now, a shakedown cruise of DeepStar. Next stop... Mars!

New addon request: SpaceX Interplanetary Transport System!

Arcadia works ok... (In the French dub it's the Atlantis...) Event Horizon also works...
