    Question "Spool up" an animation

    I'm making a satellite that spins up to a certain rpm and stays there. I got it working using a timer with a limit. if spin_timer == nil then spin_timer = 0 end local tm = oapi.get_simstep() spin_timer = spin_timer + tm -- time limit for increasing rpm if spin_timer >= 10 then...

    Question "Spool up" an animation

    Thanks for the reply. I'll chew on that for a bit and see if I can figure something out. It'll give me something to do for the next week or so... :unsure:

    Question "Spool up" an animation

    Is it possible to spool up a rotation animation? That is, start from 0 rpm and increase rpm over a period of so many seconds. If not with an animation can it be done with "set_angvel" ?

    Implementing two default MFDs in VC on Lua

    You don't. @Buck Rogers was just giving an example of the "D" flag if it were being used for a dynamic texture.

    Implementing two default MFDs in VC on Lua

    Yes, you need UV coordinates for an MFD. Give your MFD group a UV mapped texture, but in the mesh don't use the texture, label it 0.

    Problem .obj to .msh conversion acting strange

    For my own interest I decided to try to convert the obj2msh Qbasic program to Lua. I got it to produce what looked like good meshes but they would not load in Orbiter2024. If I opened them in Shipedit the groups, vertices, and triangles all read "0" and the mesh could not be manipulated in any...
