Thanks, found this and can confirm it seems to be working in 2016. Attachment

Hi everyone. Hoping someone can give me some guidance on using the scenario editor (or manual editing) to help me construct orbital stations from the excellent parts in the ISS v3.2. I can build/dock some modules to make a start after establishing a stable orbit of the first module, but a lot...

Thanks Doug, that looks really useful. My problem is a total lack of programming experience, but I will keep your XRVesselCtrlDemo project in mind.

Here we go again - OrbConnect Well here I am again, about once every couple of months I find myself getting excited by an orbiter simpit, so resurrecting this thread... First off, I can confirm that OrbCOnnect appears to work with Orbiter 2016. I have been able to load and run the XR2 and use...

Thanks TCR_500, I have a number of hardware options, but I had settled on Arduino, particularly as the Processing language seems doable for a non-programmer like me to build the systems. But unfortunately I do not have any programming experience, so building a custom .DLL is probably a step too...

A few years ago I researched an Orbiter simpit but came to the realization that simulating controls with toggle switches and push buttons and some type of keyboard emulator was easy enough, getting the vessel state to drive led's or other indicators was not possible, never mind 120 degree...

Guys, can Orb::Connect::Web pull vessel state info from the DGIV?? such as APU state, fuel contents and variables from the flight computer??

I have the URMS scaled up and fitted to an XR5 so I have a solution but to be honest, it is very time consuming to have to try and build out using that system, the freedom a pilotable tug gives you is a necessity I think. Please someone fix the dragonfly!

Thanks for the info, I dont really know what you mean by slippage?

Hi all, returning to Orbiter (2010 DX9 client) and trying to get a station built using space station building blocks... unfortunately my Dragonfly seems to be broken. When docked to a part, the automatic CofG doesn't work, translations result in un-commanded rotations, cycling manual/automatic...

More of this? I would love to see this mission/trading type of addon developed. Its so much more immersive if you actually have a mission to run rather than just making stuff up to do... Any clever coders out there keen to get things rolling?

Thanks again meson800, I am still juggling with how it all fits together, I am traveling for work at the moment so not getting a lot of time to dedicate to the research. I will have a read of the API reference as you suggested :)

Thanks meson800, that's a very helpful post. I am not a programmer, but even so I have an idea now what I am up against, so your post is very helpful indeed, many thanks. Time for me to go and figure out what VESSELSTATUS2 is :)

Actually its not the electronics that are the real problem, its figuring out if there is a way of reading the state of the vessel from Orbiter. And I have no idea if that's possible, although the fact that the scenario file which is text based contains everything I would need makes me hopeful...

Yep I have seen both of those threads, and so far as I know, I don't think anyone has a solid solution for the two main problems in my post. I know its possible to mitigate some of it, by using spring to center momentary switches or buttons, and being "careful" not to get the pit out of sync...

Hi everyone, I have my nose buried in catalogues busily planning what I need for concept simpit featuring Orbiter 2010 SP1, and it seems to me there are a number of significant hurdles, particularly for a non-programmer like me. Problem One, Keeping the physical simpit synchronized with the...

nice looking pit ao7g, any chance you can share a high level overview of how you plan to implement the systems and visuals? What tools/add-ons etc? Watching this pit very closely :)

Anyone willing to put together a step-by-step on how to use this? I read the docs and its well over my head!!!

Perfect.. works like a charm, Left-Shift 4,6 is element selection and left shift 8 and 2 to move it... Thanks a lot!! ---------- Post added 06-23-13 at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was 06-22-13 at 11:19 PM ---------- Aha, spoke too soon... Although I can manipulate the arm now, when I...

I don't know who Thornton is.. but.. I will be checking out everyones recommendations... thanks a lot!!
