I don't understand the question - do you mean a description of the format of the configuration files? Or a full listing of all files?

Confusing. Not sure what you are referring to here?

This place called "home".
The Orbiter configuration user manual pdf is the OrbiterConfig.pdf file found in the Doc folder, gattispilot.

But as to the main question (if I interpret correctly), if you're looking for a vessel that uses every feature available in a configuration file, you'll rarely find it. Main reason being is that if you have a vessel so complex that it uses all features, you probably want to use a different tool to get even more additional features. Examples are Spacecraft4, GenericVessel, Multistage2015, programming in LUA, programming in C++, vesselbuilder, etc.

But of the vessels included in stock Orbiter, the Carina probe (Config\Vessels\Carina.cfg) is probably your best bet.

And as the config parameters are so simple, many definitions are very similar. For example, the attachment definition is very similar to the docking definition, so it should be pretty straightforward to do.

Many thanks for your replies. The carina.cfg does contain a minimum configuaration.



A fullyfatted config file would be helpful as a rapid application developement tool? Just one.

The orbiter configuration user manual references these and other definitions that must work in combination.


MEngineRefi V Reference position for main thruster i (i=1…)

REngineRefi V Reference position for retro thruster i (i=1…)

HEngineRefi V Reference position for hover thruster i (i=1…)

AttRefdij V Reference position for attitude thruster (for rotation around
axis d (d=X,Y,Z), rotation direction i (i=1,2) and thruster
index j (j=1,2)) for a total of 12 attitude thrusters

LongAttRefij V Reference position for attitude thrusters (for linear
forward/backward translation), direction i (i=1,2) and
thruster index j (j=1,2)) for a total of 4 attitude thrusters

I have attempted to set these values in a config file. But so far no success.
I agree, there are luascript definition of ship configs shuttleA, I think.

Many Thanks

orbiter\vessel\Scriptpb.cfg

It is a luascript implementation. :)
It's amazing. But I cannot back translate it into a workable config.
I know I can modify/use luascript. Manual says it can be done in config file.
A working example would very help. I have tried to figure it out.
