So I'm getting acclimated again to orbiter with the 2016 version. I haven't done many flights in a few years. Today I was somewhat disappointed near the end of my journey. What I've got Orbiter 2016 Hi-Res Textures Dx9 Client OrbiterSound DGIV IMFD AutoSave Module Launched the DGIV from Cape...

You're not crazy... I modified the HTML source for orbiter.us to give links between the core download and the textures. I thought it was a convenience thing. Each of the mirrors are independently operated. I have put the HTML codes in a git repo if anyone wants to submit changes to...

Have you guys ever thought of doing a free git repo on bitbucket.org ? I think its like a billion times better than SVN. I have several projects on there. Here's a link about working with large file storage...

I'm not sure how the other mirrors are going, but the new pair of servers setup for orbiter.us have sent over 1.2TB each for a total of over 2.5TB in the past 24 hours since release... Signs of a healthy community!

For those using archaic browsers having trouble with CSS/JAVA/Cookies/or Cache, the downloads are "text-only" browsable here: http://orbiter.us/base http://orbiter.us/tex

Weird... In my original scripts, I never experienced any major discrepancies as described. Perhaps it was just proper handling of the data. I remember making comparisons between Orbiter and Orbitron and positions were pretty close to matching. I have used SGP4/SDP4 in the past, and I did...

I'm not sure if this is necessary or not? I realize TLEs are not extremely accurate over time, but I would assume that so long as the simulation MJD is within a week or so of the downloaded data, then shouldn't it be pretty accurate?

Hi All... I used to have a PHP script which would download TLEs from celestrak and generate an Orbiter Scenario from that data. I lost the work ages ago, but I'm once again interested in re-writing this. A long time ago I released the Orbiter to TLE utility which would extrapolate the current...

Not even that. I just tried the latest build on RGB and it just crashes... No worries though, I didn't expect it to work in the first place. I got my old ASUS ROG laptop re-installing Windows now. I feel a moon shot is coming soon. **** Orbiter.log 000000.000: Build Mar 23 2016...

Just the monthly costs listed there. I'm renting everything as dedicated servers from OVH. There's no way I could afford all that... probably $100,000 in hardware... It started smaller, but as I added more customers the pool grew... The XenServer's I rent are $259/mo each and the Storage...

Spotting supernovae is relatively easy, but witnessing the immediate aftermath of those exploding stars? That's hard -- however, NASA has managed just that. By using the Kepler space telescope to capture the light of 500 galaxy every 30 minutes for 3 years, the agency caught the flash of a...

Well, I didnt honestly come on here to promote my business, but since you asked... Its a pool of 4 Citrix XenServers, 32 cores (64 threads), 512GB of RAM, Dual 10 Gigabit internet connections to each server, and several storage servers with 240TB of raw storage. It can run Windows virtual...

Thanks guys. I do have windows setup in Bootcamp... I set it up to play some GTA5, but I dont honestly boot into it too much... Its too much of a pain to reboot and switch back and forth. I have a Windows 10 VM in my cloud that I RDP too when I want to do windows things usually. Just has no...

Yes! I did so much work on network integrated addons. Unfortunately all of my orbiter projects were lost due to a hard drive failure at some point. It was muchly a hobby and I didn't make backups of anything.

Oh, I'll have to grab one and give it a try. I'll have to dig up an old Windows Laptop as I switched to a Macbook Pro about 3 years ago and never looked back! In 2013 I quit my job at the IT company and started a cloud hosting company of my own. Things are good. Only got a handful of...

6 years later... looks like I didn't even miss a version... Wow.

I found a good place in my resume to list things like this, under Hobbies, if it makes you seem better fit to the job. Coincidentally, I applied at a VoIP/networking company and listed 'Rocket Science' amongst my hobbies on my resume, and did get the job (though I doubt much was due to the...

sorry, just had to follow up, i've just finished the first version of take a bow i thought was worth releasing... http://tellan.net/take.a.bow.bow.rev1.mp3 just couldn't leave you hanging with an uncompleted song :-) comments welcome (only if you like it).

Guided Rocket... Sure, but not missle. A Missle implies there is a warhead on it. Some rockets have warheads too. Also I don't believe compressed air rcs would work nearly well enough in the atmosphere to be able to guide it. guided missles change their trajectory after being launched. the...
