I was reading again the hot thread about the use of ChatGPT :wow: :devilish: just after searching for some old advises among the 627,553 posts (to date) of this forum.... Then, I thought it may be not that complicated to install an AI-agent to support users at using Orbiter, instead of the...

It seems that we haven't any thread for the news about HERA. Let's start one... With a picture of Deimos at Mars... maybe we should re-work its texture in Orbiter :) the video is positioned when the pics of Deimos are disclosed, and when Patrick Michel and Brian May are welcomed :)

I found these images of Cassiopeia and decided to "stack" a part of the field of view in order to reveal the interstellar stream. Just imagine: the scene spans over 2 light-years and the animation covers "only" 40 days... personally, I'm just fascinated by that! source = https://webbtelescope.org

For the development of OMX (fork of Orbiter Multiplayer), I am creating a feature to restore a previous state: I unlocked the acceleration rate that was developed by @Face & fellows for OMP to start a scenario in the past and re-propagate until real time with time accelerations higher than x2...

In my next MFD, I'm getting sometimes (sometimes none after 15+min of tests) an exception raised by ddraw.dll, according to the C++ debugger. My MFD switches automatically from a view to another, from a vessel to another, and moves the camera based on some computation. It doesn't look like other...

Boxx submitted a new addon: Phebus' Wheel Station - in Nex'Orbiter project Read more about this addon...

Hello, moderators! I would like to access some statistics about our community: how many members, how many active members in 2023, how many addons, how many addon downloads? I guess you could extract such data, hope you are willing to share it. I want to speak about this community, hence the...

Hi, on 4th of Nov, I made a donation that is said unconfirmed on the donation thread. But PayPal took actually my 30€ for you. I used the "Contact us" form in the footer to warn you but got no reaction. Can you confirm the money arrived at orbiter-forum.com?

Boxx submitted a new addon: OMX with OrbiterX - Orbiter Multi-Player in a persistent universe Read more about this addon...

Here are some ESA pictures for Moon Village (credit ESA - P. Carril). If somebody gets inspired to build new type of buildings in a Lunar base at the South pole for O2016, it would be really great to support new highly topical scenarios: I guess a structure under a hill of regolith, with a...

Boxx submitted a new addon: Life MFD - Monitoring Accelerations and Resources and their effect on Health (1G-paradigm) Read more about this addon...

Just a detail here, but I prefere to mention it in case it would hide another concern, don't we have an inconsistance with the Preferences > Time zone. For instance, I am in Central European Time (CET), i.e. UTC+2:00 in summer time but I read that CET = UTC+01:00. Or am I myself wrong? :aga:

* EDIT (2023-12-10) * This starting post in the thread evolves to keep track of the past events and to prepare the next ones: (past) Elephant Walk 2022-09-11: annoncement below and report here (past) surprise connection during a tutorial 2022-10-08... and fun! brief and link here (past) event...

The "Scenario Editor" allows to add (in an already running scenario) a vessel with its state vector that must be input manually, at the exact time when "Apply" is clicked. Well, I want to do the same but not manually, by reading/loading a vessel's state vector from a ".scn" file, as produced by...

Hello, Orbinauts! Here is my initial release (pre-pre-alpha) of an add-on to "feel" the accelerations during a flight.... endlessly calling for 1G-Navigation tools, like here and here :) ... This is my first add-on and now, I am facing some issues.... so can you give me some good tips to go...

Hi, there! Please find a commented flight from Kourou (French Guyana) to ISS, and docking, in 1h30. The fun part is a 50-mn phase at 1G strictly, meaning a normal weight feeling for the crew! It demonstrates a new way at piloting and it is also a tutorial, with many comments (and no needs extra...

Hi all, the problem with Hohmann transfers is the time it takes to go to the next planet!! Just imagine that our engines could deliver a continuous thrust at 1G during days or weeks. It would take a couple of days to reach Mars or Jupiter. It would be even safer for the body.... Well, turning...

Et aussi, comment active-t-on les textures Lvl9 et 10, parce qu'apparamment sur Mars ce n'est pas ce Lvl quand on s'approche!

vraiment bien !!!

Hello ! Is there anybody ready to write an "Export Function" for Orbiter trajectories to Celestia (for instance)? It doesn't seem that the topic exists yet, so I am creating the topic here (also on Celestia forum) and I provide below the step-by-step procedure that I tested first. But I don't...
