Hi All, Just wanted to make a small announcement and see if I could get an expression of interest for a project I have been working on for the past few months. For those unfamiliar with the previous 2 instalments I made many years ago, ISV Pegasus is an attempt to recreate the Epping voyage of...

Hi All, I have encountered a very strange proplem, twice now, in totally different projects. I have no idea what this is, if it is something wrong with my code, or bug of somesort. The only thing I can do is describe it and see if anyone might know what is causing this. Say I have a header...

Hi All, I just wanted to make an announcement/ask for some suggestions regarding a project I am currently working on. The project is a UMmu alternative for Orbiter 2016, which will include a SDK for addon developers to add crew functionality to their addons. Based on current development rate...

Hi All, Apologies if this has already been discussed. I have encountered an issue in Orbiter 2016. When I set my surface position to a small body (say Enceladus for example), after this, intermittently my vessel acts as if it is in zero gravity. Even when i then set the surface location to say...

Hi All, I'm experimenting with a vessel class which updtaes some of its textures in realtime. I have this in clbkPreStep: SURFHANDLE surf[2]; surf[0] = oapiLoadTexture ("texture_1.dds", false); surf[1] = oapiLoadTexture ("texture_2.dds", false); if (light == ON) {...

Hi All, I have made a static library (.lib) which I am hoping to release later as a part of an SDK. the library defines a class type, which can be then be called by vessel classes. My issue is, I would like to be able to interface with the class in the same way as the example below...

Hi All, I am trying to develop a simple plugin which interacts with vessels in a simulation (for example refuel all vessels). This is not a dialog box but rather a plugin which when active will always run. However I cannot seem to be able to record key events. I can interact with Orbiter's...

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of some tutorials / advice. I am trying to create a vessel class using Visual Studio 2022. I have always used Visual Studio 2010 and am familiar with the project configuration settings. In VS 2022, I cannot seem to create the right...

Hi All, First of all, apologies if this is poasted in the wrong section. I was wondering, what seems to be the general consensus regarding Orbiter player's preferred version: Orbiter 2010, or Orbiter 2016? The main reason I ask this is mainly due to Dansteph's UMmu, and the loss of most...

Hi All, Wondering if anyone else encountered this issue. I am using Visual C++ 2010, and cannot compile my project since adding the libraries for OrbiterSound5.0. I eng up with a string of errors I don't fully understand, I think relating to how Dansteph's libraries were compiled, or another...

Hi All, Wondering if someone can help me with this. I feel it's a simple and obvious problem I've missed. I am currently developing a vessel class, however when I have two of the same class in one scenario, they "interact" with each other, as in the custom parameters I have defined will...

Hi All, I am creating a vessel which will jettison a component. This is simple enough, however I would like the spawned vessel to be rotated 90 degrees relative to the parent vessel. This is something I have always struggled to achieve, my guess is that I am improperly converting between...

Hi All, I am trying to create an exhaust whose level is not defined by a thruster handle, but is instead based on my own custom level. I have run into difficulties and I am not sure if this is something that Orbiter's SDK does not support, or if anyone else has found a workaround for this...

Hi All, Firstly, I hope you have all been safe and well during these times, I've busy and away from the Orbiter community for a long while now. I am working on an new project, and am trying to figure out a problem I have always struggled with; drawing the labels on MFD buttons in a VC. I am...

Hi There, wondering if anyone had a similar issue and found a fix. I am trying to code an animation that rotates not along X, Y or Z axis by 90 degrees, but rather along both the X and Z axis (essentially rotating along an axis 45 degrees from Z, if that makes sense, here is the code I have for...

Okay so first off let me start by apologizing if this post is in the wrong section. So I have been thinking about the real-world implementation of Orbital Elevators/space elevators and I just don't see how one could be constructed and maintained without it being constantly bombarded by orbiting...

Hey there guys, I am trying to make an International Space Station addon in which the solar panel truss rotates along the X-axis, and the individual panels rotate along the truss's Y-axis, (as the truss's starting angle is 90 degrees). I am sure you are all familiar with the International Space...

Hey there, I am trying to make a vessel that opens a dialog box, much like the Orbiter default Atlantis spacecraft. the dialog box I want to create is really very simple; just operates a few animations. I have looked over the Atlantis dialog box code and the section in the Orbiter API guide...

hey there, I was thinking about making an airship like craft. I originally thought of simply using hover engines to create the effect of buoyancy, but I thought it would be way cooler and much more realistic if I could actually make my vessel buoyant. I was wondering if this was even possible in...

Hi, I am wondering how I would go about changing the amount of fuel in a docked vessel? (Example being, say I am in a.delta glider and am docked to a ShuttlePB, the focus vessel is the Delta Glider (im in that) and iI want to change the fuel content of the ShuttlePB from the Delta Glider)...
