    Orbital Element to XYZ+time

    Amazing success! I have gotten the basic plotting and location finding down. I need to sit down and do a little playing with getting semi-major axis from a TLE line... Should help with calculating orbit based on time as well. My only outstanding issue is with my velocity graphs. Seems to...

    Orbital Element to XYZ+time

    I am playing around with a problem with a friend. We are trying to show how much of the moons surface is exposed to earth as in orbits. The answer is already well known, we are just going though the exercise of doing it through computation. One way we are trying is by sheer bruit force in...

    MFD Arrive MFD alternative

    Any there any good alternatives to Arrive MFD? It takes a very long time to load with the current version of orbiter, and seems rather under featured. I can't find much else to help calculate needed acceleration to stop for lunar landings and such. If anyone is wondering, Arrive MFD calculated...

    Costs of Damages

    It would be an interesting addition to the game. Give the user a crash report generated from the components lost during different system failures, up to the total cost of the ship? Could even calculate the other factors of a ships loss (replacement time, environmental cleanup costs, etc etc)...

    A demo of what I've been working, thanks to all who helped

    Very cool, and rather well done. I've always been interested in seeing someone make a 2D space game that used 'real' physics as apposed to the usual navy ships in space approach. Saddly there are few EV's out there! This was a blast to tool around with though. What are your longer term plans...

    Sun map

    Maybe they are looking for maps of other suns, and what they meant to say is interplanetary flight? Its the only thing I can think of...

    Hardware Windows 7 screen flickering

    I've have similar issues. I updated my drivers again, and avoided applications that cause changes to the task bar and such (AIM, Steam, and anything else that might cause an icon to change). This seems to have taken care of 90% of the issues.

    Discussion Atmospheric Expansion Pack for Orbiter

    I would love to see orbiters in atmo-flight improved. Its kind of sad when the moment you are back inside the atmosphere realism goes out the window. Its like owning a sports car for the high way, but then jumping on a tonka toy truck to get you the last mile home every time! I question how...

    HyperDart - A new spaceplane

    Awesome work. The elegant simplicity looks amazing. How well does it behave in the atmo?

    Didn't someone have a flash app online that showed the different times when transfers were efficient or not?

    Rudder Pedals

    I use the CH pedals. Never tried it with orbiter, only with x-plane. I've never gotten a joystick that can come close to the extra control they give me. Even my Saitek X52 isn't nearly as accurate as they are. Just be cautious of the wire on the far side of the pedals. Mines gotten beat up from...

    IMFD 5.1h Release

    I dunno about it being very disappointing, I am more then glad to try to blunder through most features until I can work them out. That being said, a tutorial and documentation is always nice ^^
