    Out of Orbiter for a little over a year.

    It all started a little over a year ago when my PC graphics card died. Then, cataract surgery, right eye - same month. Left eye, last November. Swept up in RL and thinking the hiatus from Orbiter wasn't so bad. Hernia repair surgery at the end of August. My advice: don't grow old. It's a...

    Scenario How low can you go?

    An XR2 is ten minutes from clearing the highest point on the Moon by approx 200 m, while in a stable orbit. Ground speed about 1676 m/s. At start, MapMFD is set up so that that summit is in the center. Visual high point in Orbiter 2016 terrain appears to be at 158.634148 deg W 5.403957 deg N...

    Buzz Aldrin's doctorial thesis

    Does anyone know what was contained on pg.69 in Buzz Aldrin's doctoral thesis? He uses two variables, b and k, for the remainder of the thesis, and I think that the definition of these two variables are on the missing page. I have a hard time buying MIT's statement that this page is missing...

    Software Can't activate Spacecraft3 animations

    It acts like something is ignoring the "left shift + number pad key" combo needed to activate the animations. The only response I get is activation of RCS thrust. I have a clean install of Orbiter, v.100830 on Win 7 64bit. I've tried two different PS/2 keyboards and an USB keyboard...no...

    Advanced Question Number of radio channels

    Besides a custom dll for a spacecraft, is there a way to define more than the default number of 2 radio channels per spacecraft? I've gone through all of the documentation...perhaps the answer is staring me in the face.

    Idea MESSENGER Scenario Pack

    Just gauging the potential interest of a scenario pack for the spacecraft currently in route to Mercury. I've been tinkering with it for a month now, and just have it as far as LEO. Perhaps before March 11, 2011, I'll have a scenario for MOI (Mercury Orbit Insertion) to finish the pack.
