    Orbiter beta texture issues

    And where is that? I have not found any info related to copyright, which is why I asked.

    Orbiter beta texture issues

    What is the licensing for the texture packs? I didn't see any mention of this on the download site. Are we free to use them in other projects?

    General Question manned mission to saturn, ship recommendation?

    Could anyone recommend a (somewhat realistic) spaceship which I could use for a manned mission to Saturn? It would be great to use a ship where I can have a small lander craft docked, to perform landings with. I've practiced some lunar missions, a little space station construction in LEO, and...

    Demonstration Platform

    You might want to print out some diagrams showing basic orbital mechanics, such as plane changes and altering your periapsis/apoapsis. These are a mystery (and quite interesting) if you don't already know them...

    Orbiter demotivators

    Unrealistic, because the space shuttle flies in it... If you dont get the joke, just dont comment. ---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ---------- Another demotivator, at least for the Americans...

    General Question free 2d panel textures?

    Intriguing :) There is no hurry, I can borrow some textures from the orbiter default ships in the meantime.. I'm not about to release an addon any time soon. But knowing the licence info for the supplied textures would be nice.

    OHM Project Gemini 4.5

    Worked fine in 2010p1 for me.. Would it be possible to release the ADI instrument as a general MFD; cos it's totally awesome :)

    Meshing Question Basic mesh crashes :(

    Thanks for pointing that out! It is not at all obvious from looking through the code that the 2 and 3 refer to mesh groups, they just look like magic numbers. A comment above it would probably help. In this case, deleting the code is fine as I am not intending to enter any atmospheres if I can...

    Challenge 2001 - Earthrise and Sunrise

    Here's an easy challenge: Take a screenshot from lunar orbit showing the Earth rising over the lunar horizon, and the sun rising over Earth at the same time, like in the famous scene from the movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey". There is certainly room for improvement on my alignment..

    Meshing Question Basic mesh crashes :(

    I've just started working with the SDK and meshes. I've got ShuttlePB.dll compiled and running. If I use the shuttlePB.dll it works ok. But as soon as I switch the mesh to my own custom mesh (a sphere with a material) then Orbiter crashes after loading. Below is the mesh I am using (exported...

    Realistic information gathering

    Actually I've been doing a bit of reading about how Cassini navigates, and it's position/trajectory is much more accurately known than, say, Titan's orbit. Probably due to doppler effects in the telemetry and so on, but this means that when approaching for a flyby, Cassini is using radar ranging...

    General Question free 2d panel textures?

    I'm thinking about creating some simple vessels. But my art skills are minimal. Are there any free 2d panel textures (switches, indicator lights) or 3d models which could be rendered to 2d? Is it possible to use those from the default orbiter vessels in creating my own panel?
