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.
Thanks but in your scenario the 1st stage ends after the node, then the AP completes before it reaches the next node. What launch time are you using? What PeA and ApA are you using? RendezvousMFD says too far away, are you doing something in-between like sync orbit?
Thanks, so using your scenario?
Set Inc to 40, ApA 400, PeA 200? launch at 19:22:45?
After 1st stage separation, set inclination to 48
When you get near the node with ISS orbit, set inclination to 51.65deg (how do I do this with the Falcon AP as it shuts down, or do you mean do it manually?)...
So I can do this mission manually, but obviously that's not realistic and what happened in real life. How do I use some kind of autopilot to do all the things needed? The Falcon 9 mods comes with a great launch and circularisation AP, but stuck on the rest of how to automate the align, sync...
A thought came to mind, the Crew Dragon is actually very easy to build, as it's only touchscreen .. no overhead, few buttons, joystick etc. The only problem is the touchscreen interface is not simulated in Orbiter. Anyone going to attempt it?
A surprise thought came to mind ... it should be easy to make a GUI for Crew Dragon as it's only screens, I wonder if they will release a public simulator or code they use. It could be a great simulator instead of using Orbiter.
Anyone flying along made a youtube video of the flight in their...
IMO it should be an international crew made up of Americans, Europeans, Russians etc. In a world already fractured, a multi-national effort will let the whole of humanity cheer the mission on. Putting humans on Mars should not be the job of 1 nation.
I wonder if the manned Moon and Mars landings...

Looks very cool but pricey!!
Anyone watching this TV show? On today they visited the German Aerospace Center and used a PC simulator to dock the Soyuz with the ISS. Was wondring what sim it is? They used 2 very nice joysticks which has given me the idea of putting them in orbiter!
After installing the new scenery and configuring the Mars.cfg file, and using the DGIV Mars scenario. the ground flickers black and the ship flickers in and out of view. Anyone else having similar issues?
I used to have the XS2 attached to the HCLV in Orbiter 2010. But the Hyperion autopilot does not work in 2016. Are there any equivalent launchers for 2016?
