Just found this pic with various rockets from around the world, in scale. Someone might find this interesting:

Based on the Favorite Rock Band thread, what about a thread for your favorite artists regardless of musical genre? Artists which aren't internationally known are specially interesting, and bonus points if they are from your home country. Also post one or two of your favorite songs or...

I've been messing around with the new SDK and found that oapi::Module::clbkNewVessel() would come in handy for a mini-project of mine (a rewrite of someone else's addon :P). The only problem is that I cannot find any function that would register an oapi::Module instance to be used by Orbiter...

So, I got curious. How do the people here manage 'em? EDIT: I personally use Git. Can't find a better method :P.

I've been trying to prove that sin(a+b)=sin(a)cos(b)+sin(b)cos(a), and I've come across the following triangle: The problem is that the cosine law an the pythagorean theorem disagree as to the value of H. Using the smaller triangle and the pythagorean theorem: H^2 = [1 - sen(a)]^2 + cos^2(a)...

Summary of what I've learned in this thread: A template class/method/function should be implemented in a header file to be included in every cpp file where it's needed. It can't be implemented in a separate cpp file (as you'd normally do for normal functions and methods), as the compiler need...

I've recently bought a joystick (4 axis + 12 buttons) and, since the 'assign button to key' feature from it's driver isn't working at all, I've downloaded JoyToKey. I've already assigned things like killrot and gear deploy to buttons, but neither rot/trans (numpad /) or att on/of (ctrl + numpad...

Wow, I didn't know until now that OF offered a blog to every and each member, so I had the brilliant idead of actually posting something, but what? Lurking some other blogs, I've found that most use it as a kind of adventure journal, to tell the story of (mostly) succesful flights. So I decided...

I had nothing to do so I started my recently acquired Garry's Mod* and build some CSS and HL2 scenes, enjoy ;). *: Garry's Mod is a source engine mod (Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike Source, etc.) that allows anyone to build up a scene with source models and maps, plus a lot of...

This thread is for portuguese and non-portuguese speakers to talk just about anything, from Orbiter, an interesting movie and, of course, the portuguese language. English is not prohibited, but portuguese is preferred so anyone can start learning this relatively popular language and practice it...

Just out of curiosity, is Martin planning to release the Source, and maybe open-sourcing it? If it's not, why? There seems to be a lot of talented coders here that could help with the project.

I don't know where to put this, but... Everytime I transfer fuel from the RCS tank to the main tank using the internal DGIV XFeed, I get one "free" kilogram of propellant. This can be done multiple times, always adding 1kg to the main fuel tank. And there are times that it's not possible to use...

Hi fellow Orbitnauts :) Recently I've gained interest in space station building, so I downloaded SBB (witch seems the best space station building addons) and the SBB config files to allow the XR5 to carry the blocks on it's payload bay. I've already put a Dragonfly at a perfect 224x224 orbit, so...

I was curious to see how the "famous" Orbiter API worked, so I downloaded the SDK, wrote a simple DLL (only DLLMain and InitModule) and compiled it. But I get various errors from the SDK's include files: ||=== Test, Debug ===|...

Hi all! I wanted to try something different today, so I launched Orbiter, opened Scenario Editor and put a Delta-Glider IV on Cape Run.33 with a MK satellite. My objective was: deploy the satellite on LEO, power it up and return to Cape. First I launched PRO904SPEC40 AP (lame, yes, but I...

Hi, This is my first post here, and I've been playing Orbiter for over a week now. I'm using all official high texture packs, plus high texture runway, OrbiterSound 3.5, Delta-Glider IV (the ship I like best, since it's very "realistic") and UMMU (is that right?). I've been able to get to orbit...
