ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
That was only a feature of DanSteph's DeltaGlider-IV, not a generic feature. With most vessels, you have to manually pilot the vessel into the desired orbit.
Well, this idea is not a product of Trump, but rather the two Senators of Texas, Greg Abbot and Ted Cruz. They're the ones that introduced this additional legislative text into the original FY26 budget text. And AFAIK, no one else in either chamber is willing to slugging it out if it comes to a...
Anyone remember when MS tested their "AI" on Twitter? Didn't take long for it to lose any sanity it might have had at the beginning. Lead to MS having to pull it entirely.
I've been thinking about this and I think the best way would be to externalize all systems stuff, VC elements included. Currently, everything is internal to the main SSV DLL module, which I think unnecessarily complicates things as things much exist both internally and externally at the same...
No, unfortunately any planetary textures created before Orbiter 2016 are completely incompatible with later versions as the entire system was changed then. Orbiter 2016 was the version that introduced the current tree system for planetary textures, before it was all baked into a single *.tex...
I originally posted this on the Orbiter Github issues page(issue#592), but to give it a bit of a wider exposure, I have also decided to post it here, as an add-on request:
"This is a request to update the current Earth nightlight texture with a more accurate and recent one based on the NASA...
Have you pushed in the circuit breakers for the RMS CCTV on panel R14? There's three of them, row E, RMS CAMR. Then on panel A7U, under CAMERA POWER, RMS to ON. Use the PORT RMS CAMERA switch on the same panel to switch between the elbow camera and the end effector camera.
No, it can't. Juno doesn't have the delta-v to do it, no operational spacecraft does. It's just one of Avi Loeb's crazy ideas and he doesn't know the Juno spacecraft (main engine offline since February 2017 when helium valves in the propulsion system malfunctioned preventing anymore main engine...
All Mars landers until MSL in 2012 relied on simple open-loop guidance. MSL was the first to use Terrain Relative Navigation (TRN, pronounced "terrain") that allowed it to target a precise landing spot. Until TRN was demonstrated, the actual landing site was unknown until one of the orbiters...
That's because everything that has to do Orbiter with is ancient! D3D9Client is still compatible with the default graphics client (using DirectX 7, first released in December 1999) written by Martin back in 1999/2000, which predates the first flight of the so called "glass cockpit" of the Space...
