    Terrain refresh rate

    I have a question regarding latest Orbiter 2015 beta with D3D9 beta. After changing the camera view (rotation around the vessel for example) already loaded terrain loses it's detail and starts to load again. Also, when orbiting the terrain starts as low resolution and proceeds to build up...

    custom payloads for the XR2?

    One thing I've noticed some time ago - there are very few custom payloads on OH (other than Woo482's) for the XR2 although it is a very popular vessel and has a great support for custom payloads, be it spacecraft3 or .dll. In the development thread there was much talk about satellites, rovers...

    This is a question about the way Orbiter manages (planetary) textures. I noticed that increasing the field of view angle and increasing the distance from the surface of the planet reduces resolution of the texture used. I was wondering if it is possible to change some parameters so that the...

ProCutter and ProBoolean do a great job, but when i apply mesh smoothing afterwards i get weird creases/ridges on what should be a...

    I am currently in the process of writing some functions and code snippets in C++ for an yet unspecified add-on and I have some questions about the ways to organize the code. I made a few functions that serve as first approximation of a solar powered probe power system (shadow cones, battery...

    C++ Question multistage2 no fuel bug workaroud?

    Hello everybody! Few weeks ago I decided to stop flying and start learning how to make a .dll driven vessel. I manually converted some spacecraft3 driven vessel into .dll for practice and after some time I got it working (even the animations :hotcool:). The problem that keeps popping up is that...
