Ok, to start this thread, I would like to introduce the addon. It uses the Israeli three-stage Shavit launcher with a Jericho ICBM on top. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_(missile)
And there are some pictures of mine.
Basically, I felt the need to start learning C++ and Orbiter API because of how everyone raves about how much more benefits it has compared to SC3 and Multistage. So I figured, why not make this addon a .dll? It has been almost two weeks or maybe even two that I have been working on it. Let me tell you, it is not an easy task especially if you are new to it, but I like and learn better learning by trial and error.
What I got done so far is the main code for the Shavit launcher and I just need to do some minor adjustments concerning thruster groups, jettisons, and other visual aspects. By the time that I am done, I hope to have a fully functional three-stage rocket with clean and fun flight. Maybe even I will release a surface base for Israel since this is in fact an Israeli rocket.
If anyone is willing to help this new comer in the field of C++ that would be great. For example, I have already received much help from these given names. Xyon, Woo482, Zantikelmen (Can't spell his name :lol, Orb, and some others.
Thanks all for the help and I surely appreciate it even if I am a pain in the butt.
I will keep you guys up to date on this project hopefully daily and weekly and let you know how it is going. Thanks.
P.S. It will be released for Orbiter 2010. In another thread it was being compiled with the old 2006 SDK and I forgot to change that, but now it is for 2010.
