Sorry, but you will all have to update your git checkouts if you are maintaining them. With the current global health crisis and my own high-risk status (I am a kidney transplant recipient), it was felt best to move the github repository to a multiple-author organization rather than under my...

I feel like I just got an early Christmas present!

The usual cause of this is Orbiter failing to destroy the vessel and creating another. Exit Orbiter and run it again, and make sure you don't have another Orbiter running in the background somewhere. The second usual cause is a firewall or other security product blocking the telemetry port.

The LM was really broken back when I wrote that - it doesn't support LM telemetry because there was none. I also never found the telemetry "slot" assignments for the LM. Or was it measurement IDs? I don't remember. In any event, it was more a demonstration and means of driving the CMC than...

This is more or less exactly what my last patch was for. Have the checklist or MCC or whatever set the values to be loaded, then put the verbs and such in the Info item for the checklist step. People that need help can read the info page, people that don't can proceed as normal, everyone is...

I added the capability for variable substitution to checklists. Currently supported for the Info subscreen and marginally tested for the normal text field. This provides for 16 free-text variables to be defined per-vessel, modifiable by anything that can modify the vessel state, and modifiable...

They were destroyed because they were unrecoverable due to mold and water damage; All that trying to read them would have done is contaminate and/or destroy an equally rare 7-track tape drive, and opening them and releasing the mold would have been a huge health risk to anyone involved and might...

You wouldn't be able to do it in the real world anyway, for one insurmountable reason - Ham radio is strictly non-commercial. Sending messages from which you stand to make a profit or operate a business is generally illegal. There are several commercial allocations in the same general...

Radio travels at C, so a long HF path would be much faster in terms of latency, but bandwidth is so limited at HF you wouldn't be able to do much with it. A network of low orbit satellites providing a constantly-available path might do the trick, with a much better bandwidth figure. It still...

Correct - Callsigns are internationally federated. Each government is issued a number of prefixes, and then issues individual callsigns out of their prefixes. Tail numbers in aviation work the same way. I assume you meant "average age", in which case yes. There is a strong public perception...

It is, and by and large the community is great - it's just that technology allows the jerks to be disproportionately loud. Anyone with Google and my callsign has immediate access to my real name and mailing address. Anyone who knows about the ARRL's member services could email me without having...

Extra class is the maximum privileges license class in the US, so analogous to the UK Class A (now called "Full License"). Long-distance propagation above 50 MHz is completely different from below; Above 50 MHz, signals are not refracted enough by the ionosphere to return to Earth. (As...

I am an Extra-class ham radio operator located in central Illinois. My personal bests are New Zealand and Poland using 50 watts power in the 10 MHz band, and central Russia using 80 watts power on the 14 MHz band (the signal went over the north pole rather than east or west). I forget what my...

After only a decade or so in work, we have issued the first V7.0 Release Candidate. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/dseagrav/NASSP/releases/tag/NASSP-V7.0-RC-master-308 and applied to Orbiter 2010-P1. The documentation / wiki is at http://nassp.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page We...

Awesome, thanks!

I never did get approved for the Add-on Developers group; I applied more than a year ago. I don't see a way to cancel it or apply again. Can you please either deny or approve it for me? If there's some question of authenticity I'm pretty sure I can prove I work on NASSP...
