I was searching for free space flight simulators starting with "O" and i found it !!

the attach restrictions , the red arrows that imply that the 2 parts are incompartible to be attached in that position.

using the standart orbiter mesh specification ; importing orbiter meshes The attachment points could be defined using .cfg files or within your 3d prog and remove the Restrictions - allow the user to freely attach parts

How can you do that ? you are not a moderator

impressed 10/10 stars i think it's a MUST to allow importing user-made parts ... yep its a MUST

i'm utterly confused but Fizyk's explanation sounds reasonable so i wont post it on the bug section.:hotcool:

When i switch from surface to orbit HUD the velocity vector (the circle with a cross inside ) is not at the same point , in my opinion it should. I was thinking of posting this to the bug section but i am not sure if it's a bug

@Fizyk can you simplify your equations ? i'm lost is this for the 2d or the 3d ? the 'z' is the yellow arc ? heres what i figure out so far for the 2d version... we know f so the <ab> angle = 180 - 90 - f we divide it to the 360 degrees FRAC=( 180 - 90 - f ) / 360 degrees apply the...

The Yellow area versus brown area percentage of the 2dPLANE is equal to the SPHERE's Yellow area versus brown area percentage ? i mean the 2d vs the 3d have the same Yellow % do they have the same analogy ?
