    Project Simplex-based thruster control

    I just put the RCS code into a very specific vessel and it works fine. Even my framerate doubled, because the your Simplex implementation is faster than the Gauss-Jordan which I had.

    Darrenc, I like your code very much. There are vessels which really need it. Sometimes, ideas in this forum are months ahead of their time. ;-) Thank you!

    External MFDs for Orbiter

    Good question! The server application is a standalone application. It requires Windows and the VC runtime package, nothing else. If it asks for a QLIB DLL, just delete the USBTTL-Input module (a dll in the same folder as the server application).

    External MFDs for Orbiter

    Yes, you were right. I did not mention anything here because I did not want to put myself under pressure. My primary goal is to create a very stable and well-throught-out addon. And this takes time. The client module was originally part of a vessel addon. I had to do a major refactoring in...

    External MFDs for Orbiter

    NetMFD could be a solution ... During my student research project, I have built a professional simpit - and written a plugin which can distribute MFD instruments over a TCP/IP network. (The research project is referenced on the Orbiter website.) However, I have been refining and refactoring the...

    New Release D3D9Client Development

    The Client seems to have a Problem with black transparent color key in 2D panels. The black area is not transparent, but black. I am using white (0xFFFFFF) now and it works.

    Thesis: Simpit Framework

    Wow, that was quick! I think I will keep the links for some months. But you can make a copy if you like.

    Multiple Monitor/MFD ?Touchscreen

    Again: I have written a Network-MFD addon as part of my thesis. It is now published: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=14784 Advantage: - You can use as many MFDs as you want to over the network. - Easy to install, easy to build, schematics available. Disadvantage: - Requires...

    Thesis: Simpit Framework

    Hi, I've just completed a my thesis: A Simpit Framework and the exemplary implementation of a Soyuz-TMA simpit. I am posting the Presentation first: (German, but many pictures) http://mymp3s.de/Studienarbeit_Abschlusspraesentation_20100310.pdf Full thesis with explanations and code examples...

    Fly-By-Wire 0.9 Discussion

    I have the same problem that Puma mentioned. I have copied a fully working version of Orbiter on my USB stick. - On my Laptop, FBW works. - In my desktop PC it does not show up in the Extras-List. Orbiter does not mention it in its log. My conclusion: must have something to do with the...

    New Sweet way to reenter?

    The Russians experimented with extreme ballistic coefficients: http://www.astronautix.com/craft/irdt.htm I think this way of re-entry is pretty cool because you reduce peak heat loads. Of course, you must get rid of the same orbital energy, but you have more time for surrounding (residual)...

    Open-source versions of built-in MFDs?

    Yes. I'm doing the project at my university. We want to build a soyuz-style simpit to train students. So, having a mouse in the cockpit would be .... strange. Simulation should be as realistic as possible. There actually IS a pointing device in real Soyuz!!! Well but .... it's not really a mouse.

    Open-source versions of built-in MFDs?

    Yes, CameraMFD does not work when the focus switches to another vehicle. So far, this is the only limitation I have encountered. But I interpret this as a CameraMFD-issue, not as an issue of the ExtMFD ....

    Open-source versions of built-in MFDs?

    Exactly what I was worrying about. But obviously there's not a big problem. I even had 600x600-Frames running over the network and it was not even closely exceding the capacity! Now I'm using 300x300 frames and scale them up by factor 2 after receiving (very easy in GDI). I've set the MFD...

    Open-source versions of built-in MFDs?

    My implementation is based on the external MFD code, which is included in the orbitersdk. On the main screen (see image attached to my post above), you can see a small white dot in the upper left corner of the display. This is what's left from the external MFD. Basically, every time the window...

    Open-source versions of built-in MFDs?

    Hello together, just yesterday I have finished a Client-Server-MFD system. How it works: 1.) You compile my "NetMFD.cpp" into your spacecraft-dll. 2.) You give your spacecraft-dll a list of IP-adresses (one for each MFD) 3.) You install the MFD-Server on each of your laptops. I'm using some...
