Semi-autonomous variant of the stock Orbiter Space Flight Simulator Delta Glider III equipped with its own SQL expert-system-based AI and relational database. Github - hosted project, currently in beta.

I recently published on Github the files of an ongoing project of mine that is a modified stock Delta Glider III with an on-board expert system and semi – autonomous capabilities. I have been at it for several years now and it is far from finished but the basics are already in place as well as...

In real life, radar altimeters are used only for some IFR final approaches or to avoid terrain collisions. In all cases, even with the most sophisticated instruments, you will need to use by regulations (on Earth, that is...) a barometric altimeter set to values known as QNH and QFE. QNH is...

Don't forget to write something like "Made by the Syrius Cybernetic Corp." somewhere, or make the MFD say something lime "Hummmyummmyah!!"

Something like that is described by the pilot himself in his own report; he said that he suddenly realized that he was flying over a populated area moments before the accident. That's enough to nail him down independently from all other factors because he lost his situational awareness, which is...

Other than running out of fuel, wrongly fiddling with their controls or a major design flaw, it is extremely rare to suffer the loss of both engines in any plane. Lack of fuel is the most likely and to me it seems that there were some serious preflight and emergency planning mistakes in this...

Indeed, I did read it. I was making the point as to what would happen if you crash at Mach 1+. In fact, and perhaps I did not express myself quite clearly, I was saying that the pilot would have been flying at less than 250 KTS. Probably the same as what would happen if you do so in real life...

Normally you would be limited by ICAO regulations to fly at no more than 250 Kts lower than 10.000 ft. Only under very special circumstances pilots are allowed to fly at higher speeds below that altitude - for example, if their planes do have higher stall speeds or experience some condition that...

I guess then that my fate is sealed in this matter. A pity, perhaps, because installing al the VC++ stuff seems overkill just to make DLLs. Well, I guess then that I should look again at that windows.h affair.

Oh! No! I am not essentially against VC++; it is simply a matter of not being limited to just one sort of tool. I have built recently a simpit for a Beech B350 and ran into some trouble using VB to control Phidgets in there, but got around in that way. Plus, my newly installed BC++ EE has told...

Hi there! It would be nice to have some sort of aggregated list of compilers that could be used instead of VC++ specifically for Orbiter, with info on what kind of modifications could be needed to actually make those things work. Has anybody tried to actually do that?
