Here is a Mars approach scenario, intended for aerocapture, that contains an intentionally planned flyby of Phobos on approach. Have fun! Ps... The Phobos flyby velocity is so fast, it's recommended to reduce sim time to 0.1x as it gets close.

Ok, here it is! http://www.orbiter-forum.com/project.php?issueid=1311 Did I put this in the right place?

Thanks Enjo, at least I'm not the only one! It seems a simple calculation to make: accel = (vessel thrust) / (current vessel mass) I wonder if Martin would consider either changing it back (does anyone actually use the displayed force for anything???) Do you know if anyone has tried as a...

I thought of that, but that's only giving me radial and tangential components, right? It total acceleration is unavailable anywhere, then how are folks doing precise braking maneuvers these days? "Back in the day" one of the methods we used involved monitoring the "distance remaining" and...

Hi all, I've been with Orbiter since 2001-2005 and am getting back into the hobby. The new 2016 version is nothing short of amazing compared to the earlier versions. In earlier versions of Orbiter, the vessel's current acceleration was displayed in the upper left of the HUD along with the...

Well, 4.5 years later I figured I'd say "hi" again. LOL. I miss the Orbiter days - life is just too f'ing busy to do anything about it. Maybe I should like, go buy a hut in the mountains or something and just take off. LOL. I don't visit here very often, and don't IM anymore. Try me at...

Hi all - from someone once very active in the Orbiter Community (2002-2005) but since occasional lurker (2006-present). Hello to anyone who remembers! It may be old hat, but I just stumbled across a resource that may be of interest to anyone who may be developing asteroid add-ons for Orbiter...

Yes, Emp (sorry, still can't get used to it. lol), I know exactly how you feel. Life is definitely good again.... HAIL PROBE!!! - Kelly

You can find me most days on YIM or AIM under YesRushGen if you wanna chat online. later! PS... I still have our e-mail chain from when we were working out the hypothetical Apollo 18 mission to Marius Hills. We called ourselves the Lunar Mafia, in honor of Jack Schmidt, and you were the one...

Hey man! I was surprised to see you on the forum again. I myself have been absent from the community for some time, I guess since about 2005ish. But I lurk from time to time. I saw your recent posts and thought... I gotta contact that guy. lol Hope everything is going well for you! Let's try...
