I have been enjoying Orbiter for a few months, it is of great fun! I have created a satellite 3D model with Pro/Engineer software recently, and the software exports *.prt or *.asm format files, I couldn't find any way to transfer them into .msh format, could anyone help me? Before I put the...

use some other software You must make clear that the recorded flight process is drived by some files in .pos or .att format. So you should take the porcess with some other software, usually it is saved as .avi, then you could change it to any other format you like.

Thank you for paying attention to my question. It's a .dll vessel. If the thruster force vector doesn't pass through the satellite's center of gravity, it will make an angular accleration, don't think so? So I want to know what's the defination of the center of gravity in Orbiter or what should...

I have added some thrusters to the satellite which I have created by myself. However, when I use the thrusters to change the Orbiter, the satellite just rolled around. I don't know what's the matter behind this, could anyone help me? Thank you!

Thanks a lot! I have learned the mechanism of shipedit through what you have said.

Thanks for your help! I have taken your advice and that works well! Thanks again for your kindness!

Hi,tblaxland: Yes, I've defined the thruster as what you have said. I'm not sure whether there is any relationship between the thruster defination state and the staellite's inertia axes, because the satellite's attitude control system is related to the inertia axes.However, I don't know...

I have added six thrusters to six direction of a satellite, and all the force direction are in the body reference frame(left/right/forward/backward/up/down). Certainly I put the force action point at the center of the satellite. However, when I make the forward thruster to push the satellite...

Hi,Arthur Dent: I'm so sorry that I had published the answer to your question on ar81's item.(You can see as above.) I hadn't pay attention to this, I just convert it form a jpg file. What did you do when you were developing some new add-ons? Best wishes!

I have tried to use the playback function to see the effect of my own satellite, which is called FSKY. However, after recorded the process, I open the scenario in the "Playback" directiory, but it couldn't run in the orbiter. Then I found there was a deathful error when I was developing the...

Hi, ar81: First, thank you for you help! I have downloaded the convertor you recommended, and I will try it a moment later. Second, I want to make out the following phenomena: I once use the .dds texture to decorate my satellite, then I transform it into the .msh file and run it in the...

Hi, Arthur Dent: I copy the "FOIL_GOL.dds" file (my own texture file) in the "orbiter060929_base/Textures" folder. After converting the 3D model into .msh format, I have checked it in notepad, I think there was nothing wrong in it. The last few lines of my .msh file is as follows...

Hi, Arthur Dent: Thanks for your kindness. I have copied the texture which I used to the Orbiter/textures folder, and I also checked my .msh file in a text editor, there was no error in the file. Is there anything wrong with the convertor I used to transform .3ds file to .msh file? I use...

I have developed a satellite named FSKY, and now I want to add some effect about the solarpanel and the satellite's main body. So I took some pictures and transform them into .dds format, then I stick them on the satellite in 3ds max. However, I couldn't see the effect in the orbiter. Then I...

Hi, Arthur Dent Thanks for your help! I feel very sorry for I haven't reply to your message immediately. I have downloaded a plugin for photoshop which is used to transform jpg file to dds file, however I couldn't see the texture in the orbiter all the same. Then I tried the textures...
