    LUA PITCH script (lock Elevators angle / Pitch RCS power)

    This is an update that will get the input value from trim and not from elevator angle: -- Set up autopilot structures v8 = {} v8.pitch_apID = nil function setvessel (_v) v = _v class = _v:get_classname() if (class ~= 'Deltaglider') and (class ~= 'DG-S') then...

    The Purpose of Scramjets

    Well, I've tested some more settings: with the default weights, same orbits and by setting the scram propellant efficiency to 2 (default is 1) I managed to get the DG-S in the same orbit as DG with 100Kg more fuel (once in orbit I transfer the scram fuel to main tanks and compare). So even at...

    The Purpose of Scramjets

    This is from the DG/DG-S manual: "Requires total mass < 16300kg to allow vertical liftoff from Earth's surface" So it can, just not with full tanks ;) ---------- Post added at 04:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ---------- I was wrong actually, this is the consumption with...

    The Purpose of Scramjets

    Remember the DG-S is 2 tons heavier ;) (I'm talking about the stock DG) I did alot of tests and tried to make good economic sense by using all kind of tweaks like a higher weight or less ISP that would make both DG and DG-S stay longer in low atmosphere (10-33Km) so that the DG-S can have an...

    LUA PITCH script (lock Elevators angle / Pitch RCS power)

    I'm using Orbiter with the stock DG and Shuttle (still a big fan) with my laptop from time to time so I don't always have a joystick available. Since I don't use autopilots and the vsls. -as most of you know- don't have much trim angle I can't do a reentry at high AOAs and have to land very fast...

    OHM Equation MFD

    A+ vote from me :thumbup: A cool add-on, well documented, I'm using it mainly for calculating burn times in orbit to run with the CRT MFD. Thanks!

    XR-2 ascent and reentry tips

    I used to do reentries with the autopilot but I did not find the settings "coarse" enough (I hope you know what I mean :) ). So I now do it manually and keep the hight AOA shifting the center of gravity manually. XR2 is the one for me...

    IPad, what do you think?

    I have an iPhone 3GS and think it's the best. It's an Apple and software is expensive (if you buy it :) ) but it has an outstanding quality. If there is market for iPad it will be no.1 on it.

    Flight Question Default DG Reentry

    Not only that but it also greatly improves the handling during atmosphere flights. Highly recommended, it will make the default DG more fun.

    Question What is the diameter of a landing pad?

    How about doing it for yourself and share it with others afterwards? Anyway, no addon goes wasted here :thumbup:

    Question What kind of car do you drive or wish to own?

    2001 Ford Focus 1.8TD 75 PS (I don't like to call it "my car", I'd like a rear-wheel drive car). The car has been rock-solid up until now, 140000Km on the clock.

    What version of Orbiter are you using?

    Thanks SlyCoopersButt , I guess I'll switch to the Beta now :)

    What version of Orbiter are you using?

    The 2006 The main reason is that I've used XR1 with the beta and it heats up and gets destroyed when in orbit...

    General Question How to improve graphics and install new aircraft?

    I'd add to that this: http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2648 . It will modify slightly the stock DG so that it handles better if you're using the keyboard and will help you with reentries. Again, try to have fun and take one step at a time, it took me 6 months to learn how to do a orbit...

    D-Day 65th Anniversary

    I don't know, I mean it's the place where I want to go, all my friends talk about Antalia, Hawaii and stuff like that and they look at me like I'm some idiot who thinks too much, that's why I'm saying people don't appreciate it. I hope I'll take a good vacation next year, hopefully buy the car...

    D-Day 65th Anniversary

    Thanks for sharing the pics with us Notebook. I like this one the most: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k207/Notebook_04/n034.jpg . I'd like to go to Normandy as soon as possible, I feel we are loosing it somehow, the terrain is changing and is with every year less and less important.
