    Discussion ARCA's flying ocean launch platform

    Eventually they settled to a rocket engine fuelled with LOX and kerosene T1 and a vacuum thrust of 32 tons (length of 1,7 m and a diameter of 1 m). The engine's total weight was expected 260 kg. Intended values are below. On their website they say (quoted):

    Discussion ARCA's flying ocean launch platform

    Although Romanian myself, I'm really sorry for the people that actually work there. From my following of ARCA's previous "missions" it seems to me the best that those guys made is a typical money-laundering machine. A balloon is the best "ship" they've launched. Right now they have built a 1:1...

    :hmm: It seems it's not published yet, probably they just want to attract more fundings

    Updates Mars Science Laboratory (Curiosity)

    I see two large rocks that have clear sharp edges and almost straight sides in the top right side of the image. Where can this be found in nature (I guess clean faces like that with sharp edges are easy to spot and so we know a lot of the composition of those rocks on Earth)? I remember I've...

    Update Orbiter-beta-compatible XR DLLs

    He's probably referring to this: http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=388635&postcount=46 but Bonanza got some facts wrong.

    Project WIN Ascension Ultra BETA test thread

    Will the two cranes actually move or will be static? In the picture are the shadows of the cranes are drawn only in the water (or maybe also underneath the hole pier) or is just an effect from the angle the picture was taken?

    New Release D3D9Client Development

    Extended destop should work ok. Now, by default, only one application can be in full-screen mode at a time. An application will normally exit full-screen mode when the user switches to another application. You need to run Orbiter in a window'ed mode, drag it to one monitor and use excel window...

    Update [obsolet] OrbiterSound 4.0 - dev thread

    Oh, cool . By the way, will it be possible to crack some windows (i mean the sound of it) at the airport if the DG starts its engines too close to the building?

    Great blog post, just a specification, it's not a phone-box, it's a police-box...eh, i guess :P

    Update [obsolet] OrbiterSound 4.0 - dev thread

    There was a discussion here to why DS3D in Vista+ doesn't care about hardware acceleration and other missed features like EAX.

    Question What are you reading?

    Oh, that's a story i grew up...I totally recommend learning some kind of Greek. Another option, the one I'm using, is to read a translation from an Italian version which have very good Greek translations. Anyway, a good free version is here: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1728 But the one you...

    Update [obsolet] OrbiterSound 4.0 - dev thread

    I'm not familiar with sound formats but here Dan mentions some file paths with WAV file extension (check the last code sample in that post). I think the files can be only WAV. As I know WAV=high quality while AC3=compressed(more or less). Also as i know AC3 can hold many waves (front, left, etc)...

    Update [obsolet] OrbiterSound 4.0 - dev thread

    You are right, how about this (you can use the word "playlist" or just "list" and using "shuffle a sound" instead of "picking a sound" gives more meaning to the small joke): "This is now possible! And each planet can have a playlist of as many as 50 wind sounds to shuffle a sound from (just to...
