Umm, quite strange. I used this link before while connected to university wifi network. But now it's works for me, as I am in campus. If only I made traceroute!

Hi all, I has been using stable Orbiter 2006 for a long time, and now decided to look on a beta. I tried to download it from sourceforge, but it thows "Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE". HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found" using any link on Orbiter archives. Has anybody got the same...

Mainly I need it for education 'cause I'm going to university in few months. So mostly I will search Internet, write some exercises, use something like Mathlab, and Photoshop/Orbiter in free time. OS - mainly Linux, Windows only when needed (Orbiter is only point why I'm still using Windoz). So...

Hi folks, currently I'm looking for a laptop, but it looks quite hard to find model that fits me. Could you tell about your laptop experience? Especially interesting would be info on battery real capacity and heating/cooler noise (this data is usually absent in official TC). Alex.

I tried to use Ubuntu, took installs from three different sources(internet and my friends), but in all cases it was heavily buggy. E.g., I couldn't install any pack (whether it was rpm or deb, it caused a system error), other version was hanging on every second boot. And my machine is very very...

Hi All, recently I was forced to replace WindowsXP with Linux on my old notebook (although it's Celeron 1.2GHz, 256MB RAM, it loads painfully slow under Windows, about 10 minutes on fresh install). Now I'm trying to configure PCMCIA WiFi card (RT2500) for it. I've found drivers through...

I started to fly in Orbiter in early 2002 - version 021202 was my first! But since then I had a great lack of time for about two years. I have resumed in 2005 - but even now it's luck to look into Orbiter one time per two weeks.

Native: Russian Fluent: Latvian (Latviešu) Quite good (I think): German, English Some basic phrases & words: Latin But I find programming languages far more interesting and useful that the people languages ;)

Thank you for your info! I've tried to use GetClientRect and InvalidateRect(), looks like it works (at least!).

Hi All, currently I am doing my homework on programming: a programm on C++ which draws in the window an analog clock using LineTo(), Ellipse() and TextOut() functions. I had a problem: I can't force window to redraw it's client area(the clock simply looks stopped). I tried to use SetTimer, and...

Hi All, I wonder how space monitoring organisations identify some pieces of space debris as a part of some satellite? Visually it's very hard to recognize anything on it, but orbital data may be very different from parent craft(because of some initial velocity, sun light pressure, atmospheric...

It's luck that they don't use Linux. I've tried three different distros from different people, but all of them worked awfully: don't recognize RPM's, hang every even start (not a joke!) etc. But Windows XP works stable on my machine, except rare hardware fails.

When I was planning my antenna, the main goal was to get a multiband. Hamradio bands can divide on two categories: main bands and WARC. Main bands are the oldest and their frequencies can be integrally divided - 3.5, 7, 14, 21, 28. They also are most popular. But WARC(10, 18, 24 MHz) were added...

You can use JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler. You can just ask Google for it, the first link would be ok. It's free, and allow to turn on and off different updates. Discussion about it was here: http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1415 Also it's a good idea to extract addons to a temporary...

Yes, I know that my antenna is a bit long for 10MHz band. Simply I work mainly on 7 MHz band (contesting, DXing). I look in 10 when a nice rare station working there. Anyway, I have quite powerful Z-match, which can adjust SWR almost to 1 on 7, 10, 14 MHz. Because of many trees around and low...
