Just search "Tiangong" on youtube :tiphat:

The video of the reentry is awesome, several pieces and the main body light up and then all of them start burning at the same time, leaving all those reentry trails.

Hola Luis! About creating ships (vessels), You can do ships in different ways. One of them is creating a vessel dll, but it is not easy. You can also make scripted vessels in the Lua language (which are text files and you don't need a developing environment, just a text editor). Or use any...

You need XRSound installed, but not the original OrbiterSound.

Working great XRSound and Sound Bridge on Wine under Kubuntu (Pylon using sounds)

It seems that the following functions should be exposed in Lua: oapiRegisterExhaustTexture, oapiRegisterReentryTexture and oapiRegisterParticleTexture.

I mean that you could detect that both modes have been switched in the same frame, so you could priorize the RCS callout in that case. I agree the bug should be reported.

Perhaps you could store bool variables in the frame where the switchings occur, and detect –in the next frame– that it happened and play the sound that you decide. It is somewhat what kuddel was saying, I think. But not in a time span but in the next frame.

Hi, I'm exploring Lua in Orbiter and was trying to define exhaust for thrusters. I want to define custom exhaust textures and the problem is with the optional parameter "tex" in the vessel:add_exhaust function, which the documentation says is a texture handle. I can't find a way of loading a...

:lol: In what direction?

Hi gattispilot. I think so. I only did the Pylon addon, not the STS Payloads. I haven't got a clear idea of the current state, if it is the Shuttle that is being updated, or the missions, or both. I've got a confusion on all the vessels involved, and already had it 13 years ago. User Gazza will...

Hi! I'm old user camelopardis, I've been away from Orbiter a very long time. Some days ago user Gazza sent me a PM, and here I am again! Good to see you all are active, I recognize a lot of members from back then. Good memories. We've been testing together to make the Pylon addon work in...

Hi, As I've said in other thread, I'm developing a game like Elite or Frontier and I would like to use the Orbiter mesh file format to import 3d objects to my game. I would use this format because there exists already exporters to .msh like the blorbiter export script for the Blender 3d editor...

Does anybody know where to download a real star catalogue? I've found sites where you can download it, but catalogues are segmented in files with portions of the sky, and are too huge. I would need a relatively small catalogue in one file, preferably in text format but it doesn't matter if it is...

Thanks Martin ---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ---------- I've got the orbits working! I thought i would need hundreds of iterations, but 10 or so gives already a good result. Now for the part of converting position and velocity to orbit parameters...
