    Simple things are hard, apparently. I never expected to struggle with the meaning of something as simple as "in 30 days", but being tasked with implementing automation for customer data removal and notification thereof, I feel like I need a lawyer... 🤦‍♂️

    My head canon is still that Mr. Clete did not fully die when crashing down a gorge in the mountains outside Ankh-Morpork, but that his spirit found a way to our reality (it's happened before...) and founded GEMA... 🤷‍♂️

    General Question Using a Chat app to simulate interactive communications ...

    Actually not so much. Without player cooperation, it's almost impossible to keep them from going off-track and introducing stuff into your game that you really didn't want in there. In case of orbiter that would be fine, as player cooperation can be assumed as given when somebody installs an...

    News Changes to the SpaceX BFR rocket.

    With how the current administration is set up? When Musk looses interest, I guess... It's probably not long now until he figures out a way to make Nasa pay for it. It was kind of fun to watch while they were being suborbital, but now that they're going orbital and every breakup produces hundreds...

    So they've found a way to brag about how much money they're spending on the project. Good for them, I guess?

    AI is driving me to pass initial judgement about whether some coding tutorial might be worth reading through by how bad the english is! 🤦‍♂️ Since chatGpTs inception, there's been more and more tutorials of the long-winded kind in clean english that start with basic concepts, entire project...

    Question Screen annotations for one vessel showing in other vessels, how to control?

    Switching the Hud on and off shouldn't be a problem. Not drawing it... hm. Too long ago. I don't remember there being the ability to create a custom HUD mode...? you just might have to take the mode least cluttered.

    Question Screen annotations for one vessel showing in other vessels, how to control?

    Hmph. Just took a look at your code above and have to admit that definition doesn't look what I expected it to look like. I'd have expected you to define a mesh, and a surface on that mesh, and then you get the handle to that surface to draw on. I guess I'd need to have a look in the api docs to...

    Question Screen annotations for one vessel showing in other vessels, how to control?

    In a VC, a hud is expected to be a physical presence in the cockpit, not an overlay as for a 2-D panel. I'm not sure how you'd go about destroying and recreating it. Might be easier to move it.

    I would be extremely surprised if it could do that. I don't think there's enough sound material available to train an AI on it. And I'm not sure chatGPTs training involves any audio data at all...

    Orbiter 2024 Release

    Currently the only officially supported platform is Windows. Linux is being worked on, but will take a while to get there. I don't think anybody's planning on supporting consoles. They're not a good fit, what with Orbiter pretty much requiring a keyboard. I don't think the audience there is...
