    Transatlantic Ham Radio question

    Chiming in here: Transatlantic communication isn't that hard. I've seen people do it at frequencies as high as 50MHz(6 meters) across the earth (during a contest, no less). If you're willing to bounce off the moon to do it, there's not really a limit to how high you can go. Or, if you'd...

    This is the part that I was really hoping for some guidance on.

    General Question Does anyone have a full copy of the code from this post by martins?

    I've made it this far: I'm trying to get the buttons working and integrated with the MFD/Panel combionation.

    General Question Does anyone have a full copy of the code from this post by martins?

    I was hoping to start with a small example and build up, rather than searching through 5k lines of code and trying to find anything that's there.

    General Question Does anyone have a full copy of the code from this post by martins?

    Martins posted this on the blog a while ago: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/blog.php?b=577&goto=prev I've been trying to get it to work, but with little success. Does anyone have a working implementation of it that I could start by modifying? (also, the font graphics for blitting would be...

    Advice on Simpit Project w/Rift.

    DISCLAIMER: I have never built a simpit, nor do I have plans to in the near future. I know it's probably too late to go down this road, but for the level of cost you are talking about, it almost makes more sense to buy an old (potentially non-airworthy) plane and rewire the switches and...

    Programming autopilots

    If you are interested in finding an Orbiter-Based example of this, you could look at the DG's atmospheric autopilot code. You can find it in the file "Orbiter/Script/DG/aap.lua" There are several different things that the AAP (atmospheric autopilot) does. One autopilot controls speed, another...

    Pre-Compiled Orbiter Idea

    I think that people around here are willing to welcome any level of science or fiction. If you make it, then people will probably use it. I wouldn't expect DGIV-level popularity, but I think that any high quality addons are always in demand.

    How big should Orbiter be?

    Given that my current orbiter install is 60MB (textures included), I am probably not the best person to answer this question... My real question is what the minimum size of an orbiter install would be. I know that the graphics are really what takes up room, so I am more inclined to ask what...
