Here is the thing. I'm planing some interesting trips with the XR, and I don't actually want to take all of the LOX up with me from Earth. Instead what I'd like to do is bring just the empty LOX containers up with me, and then fill them once I reach one of my "layover stops" along the way to the...

I found a pretty quick and easy way to import EVE online 3D models into Orbiter. Below is one of each of the 4 factions most well known ships. Would there be interest in me doing a set of these? (wouldn't take long or be hard to do, that's the only reason I'm asking).

Drew this up today. Concept of a spaceplane to orbit. I know I should have 3 views, but I'm not really an artist. Anyone wanna have a go at modeling this? It uses regular turbofan engines to ascend up to about 37,000 feet, then switches to a liquid fueled rocket motor for orbit insertion. The...

Assume an initial mass of 7,500,000 kgs where 6,500,000 kgs is fuel. Assume a constant force of 4,000,000 N This creates an initial acceleration of 0.53 m/s^2 Assume a total burn time of 1,300,000 seconds. Assume that mass decreases at a rate of 5 kg/s What is the total velocity at burn out...

I posted this in the XR2 dev thread, but it's been a few days and no one has replied, so I figured I'd post it here to keep it separate and easier to find in case someone else also has this similiar issue. I load up the XR2 on Rwy 15 scenario, deploy the turbopack for Lee while landed, and then...

So, I see some discussion about good star settings in Orbiter. I did some messing around today, and here is the settings to use: On PARAMETERS tab, Apparent magnitude 4.0 mapped to max. brightness 1 Apparent magnitude 13.3 mapped to min. brightness 0.01 Magnitude-brightness mapping...

So today I was doing a little coding on some LCARS panels, just to help me learn a few new things in C#. That got me thinking about Orbiter of course, and now I'd like to ask a question. I see a lot of addons out now involving Star Trek. Orbiter also has the ability for external programs to...

So as some of you know, I used to work on addons for Orbiter a long time ago. My pride and joy was the Orbiter Atmospheric Visual Enhancement, way back in the day, and it is still like the 10th most downloaded addon of all time for Orbiter (about 26,000 downloads on OH). I've been hit by the...

I have a theory that I have been working on for a while, and I am trying to calculate for surface tension via the Eötvös rule. I am wondering if any of the values of the density, molar mass or critical temperature of space its self are known and able to be expressed in terms of variables or...

Good day everyone. Some of you may remember me from a few years ago. I was the developer of the Orbiter Atmospheric Enhancement pack. I've been away for a bit, but some recent "discoveries" have brought me back to this forum to seek the assistance of those more versed in the technical aspects...
