I tried quite a few things there but I can't get it to work... My goal is to use a 'gBody selection menu' similar to the one you get when clicking on the 'REF' button of 'OrbitMFD' (and then be able to use the selection 'choice'). Has anyone managed to do that ? Anything I should know ? An...

Something like our venerable ShipEdit, but where you could breakdown the mass distribution of your vessel into components, and give the utility for each of these components a vector, in local vessel coordinates, that would define the center of mass of the component. An accurate PMI definition...

A thread for C++ questions that are not related. Here's a first one. I'd like to have index [ j ] = index [ i ] + 2. But it looks like my way of expressing it is too unorthodox : Edit : obviously there was an error here : it should have been GetThrusterLevel and not GetThrusterGroupLevel...

In the Orbiter Developer Manual (ed. 2024), section 7 - The vessel class configuration file, the following parameter is mentionned (page 60) : with the note being : Has someone managed to get this working ? If yes, could you provide a simple example ? I made something like that, named as...

A quick question. I get warnings from VS2022 that some of my variables are 'not initialized'. As you can below see I dealt with the various handles. But I don't know what to do with the thruster groups. I reproduced what I saw in the samples, and declare them in the 'private' section of the...

Let's start a proper thread for this one (original post).

My objective here is to create a basic but functional VC for the ShuttlePB, and learn how to do it in the process. I have my cockpit set up with two 'squares' (each made of 4 vertices and 2 triangles), on which I want, as a first exercise, to display the two 'default' Orbiter MFDs. These two...

Hello Orbinauts, I had little free time for Orbiter this last year because I was busy on a commercial project. The game is Space Station Designer, the main developer and coder is Ignacio Liverotti, and the studio is Polar Motion (we worked on BASPM too). Space Station Designer (aka SSD) is, as...

Looks very much like a rocket stage (upper stage ?) to me, like a tank bulkhead. Now identifying the launcher is the funny part. They say '2.5 meters diameter'. Is there something that fits in the Chinese inventory ? Their southern launch corridor goes in the general direction of Australia...

I'm posting this because while the topic already has been discussed, I think a dedicated thread could be useful. So how to configure a HOTAS for Orbiter 2016 ? So far, the best answer I could find is there : https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/hi-there-been-5-years.40643/ (thanks @MaxQ !)...

Most of people over there are hardcore flight (but also naval, rail, road...) simulation fans so having a "recommended" configuration could help many of us. Of course some products or more or less available all around the planet but nothing's perfect. It could also be interesting to suggest...

Let's share a rather disappointing experience with new hardware, who knows, it could be useful to someone over there. I was looking for new headphones as my current ones are quite worn. So I went to the local tech shop and decided to give a try to the Trust IRONN GXT 430 "Gaming headphones"...

A small project to get better with surface tiles and understanding how it works, use that knowledge in other bigger projects and hopefully to be useful to others. Auch/Gers (formerly Auch/Lamothe) is an airfield straight north of the Auch city, west of Toulouse. It features a 1900x30 meters...

Guys, this is not good, not at all... Alarming heat waves hit Arctic and Antarctica at the same time By Harry Baker Temperatures peaked at least 50 degrees higher than average in both polar regions. Simultaneous heatwaves have hit both polar regions and caused temperatures to rise by at...

Do you think that hardware prices will go down in a foreseeable future ? Any advice on that welcome. ?

So here we go, the 2022 Winter Olympic Games are now open ! China is hosting the games, and the political context behind those games is a bit stormy : in December 2021, USA and some allies have announced a diplomatic boycott of those games. Let's also notice that Russia is still under a ban...
