Hello everyone, after a hiatus lasting many years, in the last weeks I managed to (barely) successfully fly the entire Apollo 11 mission from 4 hours to lift-off to splashdown two times in a row using the last NASSP 8 beta. As I'm getting more and more proficient in the procedures and...

Thank you everyone! :)

(Total C++ noob question) So, since I started studying C++ two weeks ago for Orbiter purpose, your advice is learning to write native or managed code?

Paolo Nespoli answered me! :D Here is his response: It's a real joy to see my face and hear my voice into the ISS. :) I hope that Paolo responds to those of you who sent or will send other questions. Good Luck! :thumbup:

I guess I should join the party :P Aerospace engineering, third year, Palermo university untill the departement has been closed (you know, the Gelmini reform) and now at Enna. After the first degree I want to go to Rome to specialize in Space engineering and astronautics. You think it's hard...

I'm using my max resolution: 1366x768px...

I have a problem: The window doesn't fit with my monitor, and I can't scroll or resize it. So I can't view or use the top buttons and I can see only few pixels of the Optimize Trajectory button... Here's a screenshot.

Hi everyone. Today I submitted my question to Paolo (in my far to be perfect "Italenglish") as a video response to his one. I hope to get an answer soon. :) I just want to say thank you to George that posted this here, and Pete to be our diligent informer about these facts! Thank you guys! :thumbup:

I don't know if it could be because of Mobile version. My old GPU was a mobile model too, an NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 512Mb. Didn't gave me any problems. I used to run Orbiter with a lot of addons, 1680x1050 resolution, without VistaBoost and with V-sync enabled. More, it was a Vista 32 bit...

Yes, video mode is set to Direct3D T&L HAL. About the latest drivers: this card is OEM, so I had to search the drivers from the asus support site. There I've found all the drivers for my laptop. I've downloaded and installed the "VGA" ones, but I see other nVidia drivers under the voice...

Thanks for your quick response. :) VistaBoost resolved the low fps problem, but the 2d panel is still all messed up. I can't figure out what could be the cause of this. :blink:

Hello all. Here is my problem. After my old laptop said me goodbye a week ago, I bought a new one. At first, I downloaded all the latest drivers and OS updates. Then, downloaded Orbiter 2006-P1 base package and launched it to see if everything was working well. The scenario was "Cape Canaveral"...

Update done. Now it's working for me, at least the on orbit scenarios. :) I've had problems on the launch scenario because I've had to reconfigure all APU switches before takeoff, otherwise an APU malfunction will occur just before launch. Could I suggest to modify this scenario starting time at...

Yes, I'm using SSU 1.25. Haven't checked the fixed one yet, I'll give it a go when I'll return home. :thumbup:

Same problem here, missing meshes. CTD on all scenarios where Discovery is the selected ship. If I modify the scenario selecting another vessel at start-up it works, but if I select Discovery, crashes to desktop.

I looked at the wiki. It's a good starting point, but to make these manouvers I use the STS Guidance MFD that comes along with Shuttle Fleet. As flying coffin said, it would be good to know how to calculate the semi-major axis targets for the catch up orbit burns. It's exactly what I'm looking...

Hello everybody. I'm planning to do some very realistic flights using the awesome SSU. What I need to know is how to plan my NC burns in order to obtain a rendezvous on FD3. The method I use now is very simple. I just calculate the orbital period of my current orbit, and then perform several OMS...

I would suggest Sicily because is the extreme south point of Italy (and Europe) and - of course - is close to me! :P A good location for a launch site should be "Capo Passero", the south-east end of the island, so in an abort eventuality the capsule could perform a splashdown.

What's this Spaceway? It's awesome! It seems something merging Celestia and Orbiter with Orulex and OGLA Client... So far, it seems something extremely revolutionary.

I think this is the dream of a lot of orbiteers! (Me one of them) :speakcool:
