    Rendezvous test scenario.scn

    What do I need to plug into spec 34 to rendezvous with the ISS ? I've read the DPS, and looked at the source code. The DPS is not much help, as it's more a reference than a "user guide" :/

    Space Shuttle inclination "gauge"

    It seems ? that the Shuttle does not have an "in orbit" "inclination gauge" / instrument (similar / comparable to the Orbiter Orbit MFD / inclination display. There are mentions in the SCOM of the HSI during ascent having some kind of "delta inclination" gauge, but it looks like SSU doesn't...

    Why SourceForge instead of .. Github ...others?

    What little "recreational" programming I've done I've stored on Github. Many times, just forks of other author's code I find interesting that I putter around with. Why are you guys using SF, instead of Github ... something else ? I had a test account years ago on SF, but didn't use it much...

    Problem Scenario Editor - changing SMa

    Orbiter 2010 - Using the stock DGglider, when trying to change the SMa parameter, sometimes it just refuses the change / "bounces back" to the current value. Most times it does accept it. It might happen more when trying to change from ~42,000 KM. Is the change only allowed possibly after...

    General Question Add runway - how to convert lat/lon to Orbiter coordinates

    When adding a runway(s) / creating a new base, how do you convert lat/lon to Orbiter coordinates ? I have the Surface Base Wizard, and the lat / lon calculator does the opposite function (input the coordinates, get the lat/lon). I could use that to 'grope & guess', .... and might do so...
