    API Question Reliably detecting spacecraft attachment to a launcher

    Thanks for the quick reply. I don't know exactly how the launchers attach.. but it's not through docks or attachments. So it's probably the method you're suggesting. My craft is definitely being created before launch since I can run code with it attached to the launcher. I'll probably just...

    API Question Reliably detecting spacecraft attachment to a launcher

    Hey all, I'm working on a DLL based spacecraft project in my spare time and can't figure out how to accomplish something fairly important to the project. I looked through the forum history and the SDK docs but haven't had much luck; hoping the forum can help out. What I am looking to do is...

    Science Richard B. Hoover claims discovery of extraterrestrial life in meteorites

    Well. I mean, strictly speaking no... he didn't propose that. He claimed to have discovered evidence of fossil life in said meteorites. An important distinction. In terms of the possibility of terrestrial contamination after discovery he cites formations in the rock that show, as he claims...

    News Flash: Whos is right? Apple or Adobe?

    Correct. But that's why it is up to the geek world to both provide that kind of user functionality while also building sound technology. By embracing and promoting the good standards and practices amongst ourselves this can be done. Youtube has an HTML5 player which you can use right now...

    Gaming Mechwarrior 4 Released for Free

    This MTX thing is pretty much the worst thing in the entire universe. I got the MTX system installed lastnight... but it runs as if it were a Java applet on my five year old iBook. I don't even know what you would do to write windows software that simulates that sort of situation. Either...

    News Flash: Whos is right? Apple or Adobe?

    So then your real issue is with the business cases surrounding various flavours of video delivery... but HTML5 is to blame? Dude, if you worked in tech I would not hire you until you put down the holy water.

    News Flash: Whos is right? Apple or Adobe?

    If your only consideration is HTML 5 as a gaming platform, then yes, you will be disappointed by it*. As a semantic markup language though it has some nice features. Yep, best place to be is in the action. get your hands dirty. *for now.

    News Flash: Whos is right? Apple or Adobe?

    Well, at the end of the day they are both perpetuating something that isn't good for the age of the internet. Yes, we do want people to be able to control their handsets. Hackers playing around with technology is how we got the internet in the first place. And right now is a time where the...

    Idea Photography MFD

    Hey all, Another way to get this done is to get a hold of Fraps. You can map screen or video capture to a single key. I've got screen shots set to F11 and take all sorts of photos while I'm out flying. Inspired by the Mars Express fly-by I've been doing Delta IV trips to Phobos and have...

    What was the first space-related thing you did?

    Artlav, sounds like we had the same first experience. :thumbsdown: When I was a kid (circa the early 1980s) I remember thinking that capsules and saturn v rockets were the stuff of space history. The shuttle and it's sleek airplane shape was the future of space travel and our generation would...

    vMC(virtual mission control) for Orbiter....anyone have it?

    This is great! Kudos to the devs. Does anyone know which port is in use? I'd like to forward this so I can keep an eye on my probes while I'm at the office. I'm also looking forward to mixing the pages system and my dll based spacecraft. :) Also, the controls seems to be a little abrupt...

    General Question A way to export images from orbiter?

    Hey Andy, That's great; even the faux quality loss. I'm looking to do a similar automated probe kind of project. If my day job gives me enough time to do so :hmm: I'm looking to see how I can get Orbiter to give me the experience of an unmanned mission like Cassini or something in the lunar...
