    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...

    Problem Birghton beach tram missing using Dx9

    I run the Dx9 version of orbiter, and see the image on the left. I run the very same scenario on the inline version, and see the image on the right. Don't really have a clue why that animated 'tram thing' shows up in the inline version, and not in the Dx9 version. Other than the visual...

    NASSP 8 alpha Apollo 7 w/MCC t+028:27:00 Orbiter 2016 rendezvous question

    I have successfully performed the phasing maneuvers (thanks Indy91) and I am now starting the rendezvous portion of the checklist. I am at the part where I am supposed to center the 'target' in the SCT. I assume the 'target' is the SIVB. Unfortunately, I can't locate it either in the SCT or just...

    NASSP 8.0 Apollo 7 first phasing maneuver

    I started with the Apollo 7 launch scenario (without the MCC). So far so good, but at approximately T+03:04:45 I get a radio message from CAPCOM about an upcoming phasing maneuver, followed by lots of information and numbers (shown at the bottom). Next, going through the 'phasing' checklist, I'm...

    NASSP F prefix in checklist referring to DSKY

    I occasionally see a line in one of the checklist items that looks something like this: F XX YY DSKY (XX and YY are two digit numbers) I have auto and flash turned on, and nothing on the DSKY is flashing. I read in the section on abbreviations that 'F' stood for flight plan. Is this...

    TransX TransX Escape vs Eject

    I think I've got these two terms figured out: Escape: Used when escaping from a minor body into the orbit of a major body (i.e. like from earth to sun) Eject: Used when ejecting from a major body orbit into the influence of a minor body (i.e. like from the sun to mars) It just doesn't feel...

    Idea I can't find anything that will list all my installed vessels

    Let's say I'm starting a new scenario. I need to taxi 6 crew (plus pilot/copilot) up to a waiting long range ship in a 400k x 400k orbit. Then I want to transfer the crew (one way or another) and send the long range ship on its way to Mars. While creating the scenario, scenario editor shows me...

    Problem Pluto and Moons add on

    Using Orbiter2016. I downloaded and installed the 'Pluto and Moons' add on. I see that Pluto and Charon look great. I noticed in the config files that Pluto and Charon had 'MaxPatchResolution = 8' while Nix and hydra had 'MaxPatchResolution = 0'. With these setting Nix and Hydra existed but...

    News I finally got safely on the ground

    Can't thank David Courtney enough :thumbup: for the great tutorial taking an XR2 from docked at ISS to a safe landing at KSC. I must have watched it 7 times, and tried flying it about 12 times, landing at Edwards instead (just to be sure I really understood it all). But perseverance pays off, as...

    Flight Question Installed addon docking ports have no nav aid freq

    I've installed a number of add on vessels (as I'm sure most of you have). When using them in scenarios, trying to dock, I use the main menus "info" option and scroll down to the list of docking ports, and on some of the add on vessels none of the docking ports show a frequency for the docking...

    General Question WideAwake Intl. is floating on water

    Installed the WideAwake addon, and did all the changes in the documentation. Unfortunately, it appears that the island upon which WideAwake is supposed to be built is missing (apparently I can't upload an image yet as I am still too new a member). All the runways and buildings are "floating" on...
