    Meshing Question using CAD for addon development

    is it possible to use CAD tools like Pro-E and Inventor to develop meshes for orbiter addon's? Its the only type of 3D tools i know to use, and you could actually make some really detailed orbiter vessels with CAD tools.

    isn't that what SpaceWay's all about?

    OHM OMP Port Manager

    your right, its a bit of an exaggeration :-) its true that any program that you Download can open a port. However, it is not possible (to my knowledge) for a flash-game or pretty much anything thats on a webpage to open a port without your permission. for instance, even though that program is...

    OHM OMP Port Manager

    interesting, if STUN can't do it, and ICE can't do it, i wonder how programs like Skype do it?

    OHM OMP Port Manager

    I'm glad this addon has been found useful, I was worried that it might not work on as many routers as i thought it would (i'm pretty sure that it works on most store bought routers though). @face: i actually agree with you about not including it directly inside OMP because it does actually...

    OMP Port Manager 2011-04-25

     when you start orbiter, it opens a port with UPNP. when you close orbiter, it closes the port. no hassle of router configurations necessary. just open with Orbiter.bat and enjoy playing with your friends on OMP How to Install: unzip the contents of this zip file into the main directory of...

    My first orbit reached!

    Congrats, I remember my first manual orbit was in Atlantis also. I didn't do any math or use any MFD's (because i didn't know how to) and some how or other i guessed right and god into a highly eccentric orbit, where i released my sattilite and reverse thrusted until i burned up (if i hadn't...

    ORBITER MMORPG!!!!!!

    i was just looking around the wiki and found this project. It sounds like a cool project. if you need any extra people on quality control, i'm happy to help. for MMORPG though, you might want to concentrate on ease of use for newbs. For instance you shouldn't have to do a thing to the routers...

    Idea Console MFD

    the point of the MFD though would be to not have to use an ide. the VS debugger is nice if your already in the process of developing it, but the debugger is a very advanced tool, if you just want to experiment with the api, or maybe try out an idea you have, or even just change the situation a...

    Idea Console MFD

    This idea is quite simple. what if there was an MFD that allowed direct access to the api through a basic C++ console. this would allow developers to experiment with the API in real time. i know this is possible to make things like this in Java, however with very little experience in C++ i don't...

    Idea JVM MFD

    thats the odd part. i completely understand Java and i no a lot of C, but even though i understand some C++, it still does not seem like a natural language like java. i understand stuff like Cout << "Hello world",but i think what confuses me is the classes being two files and then the pointers...

    Idea JVM MFD

    i suppose it would be kind of useless, but it would still be neat. and Thank You so much for NOT using the Java is slow excuse!. i think that Java would be simpler to interface with than .net because there are already some Java/C++ wrappers out there. i guess your right. its probably possible...

    Idea JVM MFD

    Hello i have an idea/if possible request. First let me just declare one thing. I suck at C++! Now that we've gotten that out of the way let me say that i am a Java programmer and NOT a C++ programmer. But i do know that it is possible for Java and C++ to work together. So here is my idea: A...

    API Question Random Orbit Method

    that looks like exactly the kind of calculations i was looking for. Thank you Very much for helping me with this. it looks like if i could use these calculations in a method then it would make my addon a lot more versatile since it could work with absolutely any gravitational body. and judging...

    API Question Random Orbit Method

    I need to make a method(or function i don't know which they are called in C++) that generates a random orbit around the inputted body. before i do so though i wanted to make sure i am not reinventing the wheel. if anyone has ever made this type of method before i would appreciate it if i could...

    Project The Infinite Improbability Drive

    i think stuff like that would work. basically you have several options. one could be you enter an improbability and watch what happens, i think the presets are a good idea, then orbiter could have an accurate and easy to use teleporter. although i'm not sure how you could turn the ship into a...

    Project The Infinite Improbability Drive

    yes i suppose so. in that case you as the user would not worry about the math of the drive, the ship itself would. i also found an interesting detail on wikipedia saying that the drive was based off of a particular perception of quantum theory. this means it does actually have some real physics...
