    Launch News SpaceX DM-2 Launch Scheduled for May 27!

    Am I the only one that feels a bit 'let down' by all of this? It's been almost 60 years since we first put a human being into earth orbit, and the only technological advance we have to show for it is re-usability. Don't get me wrong - I think it is great that we are doing this, I just think it...

    Problem 2016 Orbiter Flight Simulator Launch Problem

    Not familiar with winrar. Does it preserve the directory structure contained within the archive file? I know that has been an issue for others. Look in the directory <orbiterinstall>\modules. Inside there should be a number of subdirectories including one named 'D3D9Client'.

    Problem 2016 Orbiter Flight Simulator Launch Problem

    Agree with Ripley - seems a little silly to have a discussion lasting 5 days (so far) when it would take about 10 minutes at most to download and install the D3D9 driver and give it a try.

    OHM GPS llF-4 Updated

    Unfortunately, the problem remains. Downloaded from OH 21:45 UTC 7/12/2018. Update: Noticed that the MAVEN add-on appears to have the same problem.

    OHM GPS llF-4 Updated

    Having a little trouble with this add-on. Just for reference, the required MRO add-on seems to be working just fine. Orbiter 2016, clean installation, installed multistage, spacecraft3, MRO, and GPS2F. Windows 10. Inline graphics client version. Load the scenario GPS2F\02 - GPS2F in orbit.scn...

    Search Apollo for Orbiter 2016

    >>There are some issues in Orbiter 2016 Would you happen to know what some of these might be? I have been using it for several months without issue. It is quite complex, though, and it would be nice to know if the beta makes anything 'easier'.

    problems with add-on installs

    The Mercury and Gemini add-ons don't work in 2016. The newest NASSP does work, and I've been using it and having a good time. If you have 7Zip, and it is integrated into the right click menu, you can do the following: 1) Download the ZIP file for the add on into your 'downloads' directory 2)...

    OHM Pad24_UR500_O2016_v4

    I have noticed the use of ^Q and SHIFT-NUMPAD0 as Wuwuk did. I just launch anyway without releasing, but would like to see advice or a patch on how to make this work.

    problems with add-on installs

    In addition to what PhantomCruiser suggested, I always install add-ons one at a time and verify that it works before moving on to the next one. It can be slow and painful, but it makes isolating issues much easier.

    General Question Stock Shuttle Autopilot

    The shuttle ascent autopilot is implemented as an MFD. It is called 'AscentAP'. It won't show up in the list of MFDs unless you are running one of the shuttle scenarios (there is probably a trigger in the scenario file that enables it, but I haven't bothered to look).

    Problem Orbiter2016, Win10, IMFD odd CTD problem

    Just tested against Orbiter beta 180904 and I see the same problem. None of the font smoothing options made any difference.

    Problem Orbiter2016, Win10, IMFD odd CTD problem

    Thanks guys. I don't think it is in the scenario, because after a crash, I restart orbiter and load the same scenario and it works once, but will again fail on a second attempt. I am currently using the terminate/respawn option and that works well but feels like a "band-aid" on what might be a...

    Problem Orbiter2016, Win10, IMFD odd CTD problem

    I have been having a problem with IMFD in orbiter2016 so I decided to do a clean install, and then install only IMFD. The problem persists, and goes like this: I run the orbiter launchpad, everything is good. I load and run any scenario, typically the deltaglider at KSC. I set one of the MFDs...

    No worries. Just repaying all the help I've received here. :cheers:

    J2000 datetime to MJD

    Actually, it was the math above that is the problem: 660787200/86400 = 7648 days 51544.5 + 7648 = 59192.5, not 59093.5 59192.5 = Dec 9, 2020 - as expected. Sorry I didn't catch this before.

    J2000 datetime to MJD

    MJD 59093.5 according to the orbiter utility "date.exe" is Sept. 1, 2020. Is that what you where hoping for? If so, you got it right.

    J2000 datetime to MJD

    The Modified Julian Date is a continuous count of days since midnight UTC at the beginning of November 17, 1858 (in the Gregorian calendar). The J2000.0 TT offset (ΔtJ2000) is a continuous count of days since noon TT on January 1, 2000. So - to convert J2000 to MJD, all you need to do is find...
