Is it possible to write an addon without using c++ or lua ? I was thinking about fiddling with Ada and/or Lisp but don't know where to start when it comes to use orbiter sdk with these languages. Thanks for your help.

Has anyone tried to develop a LIDAR MFD ? Something like the Ummu on-screen datas but inside a MFD and available for all vessels. A tool with relative position and velocity would be neat. (Maybe with angular velocity too.) Thanks.

Please, do you know of any free tool for windows that can make a Delaunay triangulation of a picture ? Like this : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tres/id492560895?mt=8 I only managed to find this tool but it's for ipad, thanks.

Do you use software(s) besides Orbiter to do some planning and/or debriefing for your missions ? Planning for launch trajectory through the atmosphere, viewing of all the orbits after the mission, that kind of thing.

Hi, I thought about how a launch autopilot could work for multi stage launch vehicles, but I'm way over my head :facepalm: But if multi stage vehicles had a config file like that : -stage1 : duration , thrust , mass, deltaMass / deltaT -stage2 : duration , thrust , mass, deltaMass / deltaT and...

I didn't have a calendar for upcoming launches, and I just found this website : http://www.zarya.info/Calendar.php Launch schedule for the current six months, plus on-orbit and re-entry or landing events of satellites and spacecraft. They have a twitter account too. Next launch : 2012 Mar 21...

Hi, I'll start building my space station and just wanted to share a concept drawing of it. I won't use any spaceplane so the first payload will be a Tranzit tug with a robotic arm and during others launches the modules will be captured by the Tranzit to be assembled with the station. Capsules...

Hi, I'm taking time to decide what exactly I want to achieve in my personal space program and I was thinking about : - building an orbital space station (with centrifuge modules) and then - send it in a perpetual figure eight orbit around the Earth-Moon system (so that people can transit from...

I was uncomfortable making a request without giving anything so I made a little demonstrator of my idea. edit : last readme and version http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=335427&postcount=7 To the extent possible under law, Jarod has waived all copyright and related or neighboring...

So, I was fooling around with Lua and I had a little surprise. require "test" is working but f = "test" require f is not. Why is that ? Is there a way to obtain something similar ? The purpose : I made a MFD and it needs some custom Lua code depending on the ship. I don't want to make a INI file...

I found those rendered pictures of Titan's atmosphere http://www.beugungsbild.de/huygens/povray/titan_rendered.html . Is this something possible to render with Orbiter graphic engine ?

I started playing Orbiter with space planes, but I realise that I am more of a capsule kind of guy. I tried SpaceX launch vehicles and Dragon and this is a very good addon, I just wanted to know what is your favorite launcher addon ? any reason for your choice ? Do you use the same for...

Hello everybody, I'm 31, french, aspie interested in transhumanism, life extension and space colonization. I knew about Orbiter for quite some time but was put off because of its apparent complexity. Finally I decided to give it a try a few days ago, and this is fun. I played on Ren's server...
