    Problem Where are the default bases?

    1 1 1 is slightly bigger than an XR2. 2 2 2 should fit an XR5 nicely. Sent from my HTC Incredible 2 using Tapatalk

    Problem Where are the default bases?

    What I meant is that the pad is there it's just set to a size that doesn't exist. I changed the scale to triple 2 and it works good. I'll tweak the rest later.

    Problem Where are the default bases?

    Ah. So I need to go in and edit all the .cfgs then? Surprising that it's wrong.

    Problem Where are the default bases?

    The other night I borked a re-entry and had to set down half a continent from the base I was aiming for. I decided to abort to San Marco but when I landed on the VTOL marker there was zero scenery there. The .cfg shows this BASE-V2.0 Name = San Marco Location = +40.21 -2.93 Size = 2000...

    PPT to AVI

    Wouldn't it be easier to just output the video to another device, record it there and then recapture it back on the computer?

    Confusing picture

    Maybe when they cropped it they also shopped out the extra flame. I'm guessing it was just a lens flare or reflection anyway.

    Venus Atmosphere

    Thank you. I calculated for 50km. So 5.8N. How many kg will that support per cubic meter?

    That sounds high to me but I'm not sure can some one check me please?

    Venus Atmosphere

    I'm here. Been following along. I work 4 ten hour days so I don't have much time at the beginning of the week. I've been collecting data and working up a spreadsheet. I'm having to relearn HS chem as it's been 5 years since I graduated. I don't supposed I could talk any of you programmers into a...

    The Dragonfly and Space Station Building - Why?

    I don't think it could. You would have to tell it.

    Venus Atmosphere

    I was inspired by the floating Venus base that is under development, to come up with my own. What I need to know is how to calculate the lifting force of N2/O2 mix by volume for the Earth range in the Venusian atmosphere. If possible I'd like a general formula so I can play around with different...

    Solar System Ideas Anyone?

    I've always wanted to screw around with a double planet. Two Earths or maybe Earth and Venus in a coupled orbit.

    XR2 Public Release Candidate Testing

    Something you need to be aware of in real aircraft is the main mounts on a tricycle geared aircraft are just aft of the CG. If you need excessive force to rotate the spacecraft your landing gear is too far aft. Someone commented about the timing of the VR call. That's the call for the pilot to...

    My disasterous mission to Mir

    Hypersonic flight is very counterintuitive. To climb you need to drop your nose. To descend and increase drag you need to raise it. It's the slowing down quickly that killed you. That kinetic energy needs to go somewhere. You turned it into large amounts of heat. Next time drop your nose and...

    To kill bad people that are trying to kill me or someone near me. That's the reason to own a firearm.

    Couple of questions

    1. No there's not 2. On the upper right corner of the main panel you need to select the RCS rotary knob with your mouse. Then / will toggle the 2 modes. 3. You can't. You need to select the surface MFD and it's right below the ADI.
