    Problem Shuttle Fleet has destroyed my Orbiter install, WARNING!

    I've manually deleted everything Orbiter related and re-downloaded the initial installer as well as all Hi-Res textures and the problem remains. I'm running Windows 10 and using the Server launcher. That's another thing - when trying to launch with the regular launcher, I just get a dialog box...

    Problem Shuttle Fleet has destroyed my Orbiter install, WARNING!

    Hi all, Installed Shuttle Fleet and was prompted to overwrite a few bits which is expected with new installs. It has completely ruined my install - all surface textures are now entirely missing, and when the player vessel is moving relative to the surface, FPS drops to around 1 fps. I HAVE...

    General Question LaunchMFD can't change Req. Heading

    Hi! I've returned to Orbiter after a few years' sabbatical and have brought myself back up to the (basic) level I was previously at. I know about orbits and aligning planes and syncing orbits and enough TransX to get to other planets etc. A hobbyist, if you will. This is my first time using...

    Flight Question Sub-orbital flight initial heading corrected for Coriolis?

    Pretty much as the thread title - is there an MFD for this? At the mo, I'm launching in the XR2 and turning to the initial great circle heading before pitching up and rolling on the coal. On any route other than along the equator, this will introduce a ~ 5-10 degree heading error upon MECO due...

    General Question What do the parameters in base.cfg files mean?

    Hi Marijn, Although, presumably you could set one end of the runway on a gentle slope, and have the runway pointing in the downhill direction so it's partially floating? Not realistic, I know, but this is just a means to an end so I have somewhere to aim for and land when doing 30-45 minute...

    General Question What do the parameters in base.cfg files mean?

    Thanks so much guys, especially Marijn, that's exactly the info I was looking for, thanks for taking the time to write all that out :thumbup: And cheers for the pointer Dave - I've not ever come across or noticed that file before so I'll check it out. Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever...

    General Question What do the parameters in base.cfg files mean?

    Hey all, I'm trying to create a rudimentary base, but the formats in the .cfg files are quite unintuitive to me - can anybody help? Specifically, what does the 'size' of the base mean? Surely the base is defined by an infinitesimally small point with structures defined via that point? With...

    Question Can't get TransX to plot close to Moon sometimes...

    Hey peeps, Quick one - any idea why sometimes when using TransX to transfer to the Moon, I cannot get a result closer than about 50M? Most of the time it's spot on, but I can't work out why on certain occasions, the 'closest approach' line always falls somewhere along the planned trajectory...

    Yup, I never downloaded any add on, it came already integrated with the latest Orbiter (2010)!

    Problem TransX not working

    Hi all, have posted in this forum as the others seem to be rather barren on activity! I've had Orbiter for a few years, not used it but kept it up to date. Decided to give the TransX a bash. I have the latest version of Orbiter, but when I went into the modules tab and checked the TransX box...
