General Question Tethering - not docking or attachment

[JMW]

Thanks TB.
I've got the MFD library zip & extracted as per , but still get same message as above.
Its too late for me to get my head round this now.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've got no trouble compiling it here. All I can suggest is that you double check your linker settings. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 with these settings:

Linker|General|Additional Library Directories: C:\Orbiter\OrbiterSDK\lib
Linker|Input|Additional Dependencies: OrbiterSoundSDK35.lib MFDlib.lib

Other than that I'm out of ideas.

Thanks again TB,
Checked, didn't have MFDlib.lib - now have diff. message

1>------ Build started: Project: K-L1011-P, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>Linking...
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBC.lib'
1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\OrbiterSTS\OrbiterSDK\samples\ShuttlePB\Release\BuildLog.htm"
1>K-L1011-P - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Will try sort from here.

I'm using the full version of Visual Studio so I'm not sure what settings the Express version supports. From the logs you posted earlier, it looks like you have the linker option /ML specified. Try changing this to either (in order of preference):

C/C++|Code Generation|Runtime Library:
- Multi-Threaded (/MT)
- Multi-Threaded Debug (/MTd)
- Multi-Threaded Debug DLL (/MDd)

You might also want to try ignoring LIBC.lib as I think the functions it used to provide are found in other libraries now:

Linker|Input|Ignore Specific Library: msvcirt.lib;msvcrt.lib;LIBC.lib

Thanks TB.
It compiles ok with LIBC.lib excluded, but file size is reduced from 32 to 26 KB, & I get CTD when MODE button is pressed - so don't know if all is well. Anyhow, I'll press on experimenting with code changes & see how it goes.

TetherMFD only seems to work with aircraft.dll based craft or I'm missing something.
Wishful thinking I had sorted Docking in aircraft.dll
I put this in the config file, but doesn't give me a docking port ????????

[DOCK_01] ;max 16 per vessel
POS=(-0.55,-33.5,-98.5) ;port pos
DIR=(0,0,-1) ;port app direction
ROT=(0,1,0) ;longitudinal rot alignmnt vector

Why not ? X

Now I know - gotta have [DOCK_0] for 1st port.
Sorry for all this editing.
Getting there !!

Thanks people.

JMW - You can find the source code for aircraft.dll here -> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=58685&package_id=113523&release_id=226332

Thanks Gary
Battling with Autopilots/Aircraft/Docking/Tethering combinations at the moment - nothing is working together well !!

Aircraft Refuel Project

My baby is born at [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3639"]http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3639[/ame]
It's not quite what I'd first envisaged, but it's turned out quite a challenging flight !
If anyone has managed to successfully "Dock" and refuel without cheating, (and can repeat it) please record and post it.
I'd very much like to see it.
Thanks to all involved, particularly the original aircraft makers.

Hello ! Anyone out there ?

Hi All,
This is worrying !
Either this flight is SO hard no one can do it - or worse, no one's interested !:blackeye:
Give me :feedback:

[Woo482]

I did it it was a bit hard for me

 

[JMW]

Thanks ! But where's the video ???? Huh! - Huh !

 

[Woo482]

I forgot to take one I was just trying to do it

 

[JMW]

Hmmmmm ! A likely story !:lol:
