    Console mode

    Console mode is very useful if you want to run a long-term scenerio without user intervention, or the overhead of running the graphics client. Long-term state propagation, especially with fixed-timestep mode are how I tested the new gravity models. I have also used this for systems stability...

    Question Custom Planet Elevation Maps for Orbiter 2016?

    Cubemapping would be a much better topology. This is also what spaceengine uses. It would be vastly easier to make compatible with our octtree texture/elevation formats. You'd need: A few new celbody API functions the topology transform from cube to sphereoid/ellipsoid GraphicsClient calls

    SDK Question New to addon creation, looking for a good place to start

    For actually programming an addon, it's really helpful to understand the callback functions and how the they're called in the Orbiter internal update loop. The addon/API documentation is super helpful.

    UI rework

    I really like that you can change and lock the MFD aspect ratio. Could I make a small request though? Can you add a button to set/reset the aspect ratio [back] to 1:1 and 4:3. Some things depend on that formatting. Are all the dependencies for this change compiled in, or are we linking to...

    Discussion Vessel cfg file : 'CollisionHull' parameter

    This should be the same method of specifying touchdown points as Orbiter 2016 had.

    General Question Where the bleep do I find Orbiter 2016?

    All of the older (2002-2016) Orbiter releases can be downloaded here: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/resources/categories/orbiter-download.15/

    Problem No HUD. Orbiter 2024

    Are you launching Orbiter.exe or Orbiter_NG.exe? You'll want Orbiter_NG.exe. You are running the DX7 graphics, which is probably the source of most of the issues.

    I need permissions to use Orbiter 2016, InterplanetaryMFD, AerobrakeMFD for commercial purposes (teaching at a private university)

    I'm not a lawyer, but generally "non-commercial use" covers education, even private education. I think the spirit of the license is aimed at prohibiting: Selling Orbiter install or Addon disks/downloads Selling a service directly related to Orbiter (micro-transaction/sports betting addon...

    Problem No HUD. Orbiter 2024

    Does running in full-screen vs windows vs full-screen window make a difference?

    Problems with building orbiter because of irrKlang

    I won't get the free-software soap box, nor does it solve any immediate problem....however virtually all incompatibility problems in Orbiter (old addons, old versions, etc) stem from, at least in part: "non-free" or "links to non-free". Isn't there an SDL library that does async audio? I'm sure...

    Software Orbiter 2024 opens then randomly crashes

    0xc0000005 is an access violation. There is pretty much no way to know what caused this without a debugger attached and symbol-table loaded when the crash occurred to get a stack trace. However generally, these occur due to uninitialized pointers or when objects are deleted, but some if(nulptr)...

    Orbiter 2024 Release

    Short answer, no, this had not been addressed to the best of mt knowledge. If it's what I think it is, than I know how to solve it. I  believe we are checking for the closest planet by checking for the strongest gravity contributor. If that is indeed the case, we can use a slightly less...

    Discussion ChatGPT Can help writing Code for Orbiter

    When the absolute heck is going on in this thread... I don't really understand the motivation in using something like ChatGPT et al. to do anything, but in particular hobby stuff like Orbiter addons, art, etc. There is no arguing that AI ( the field of study, not the corporate driven LLMs)...

    'ello

    There are two main addons for Apollo for Orbiter. AMSO and NASSP (both share a common ancestry ~25 years ago). AMSO is a bit easier to get into, and works much like the default Orbiter vessels, and is all around quote good and complete. NASSP is very detailed: emulated Apollo Guidance Computer...

    Hello community

    Are you launching Orbiter.exe or Orbiter_NG.exe. you'll want the NG one. it sounds like a DX7 max resolution issue. With orbiterNG (no graphics), you can enable the D3D9 client. There was an old (20 years now?) guide, called "Go play in space". It's still on the Orbiter wiki and a few other...
