Well I feel a bit silly. I didn't change the output file in the linker section. I've done that now and my dll is there, but it doesn't seem to work. It's as if it's a 'blank' vessel. Orbiter doesn't crash but seems the module doesn't contain any info, if that makes sense.

Thanks Blake for the response. I actually set the output directory to a subfolder withon Orbiter's Modules directory. I did remove the original ShuttleA.dll just to check but nothing.

Hi all, I am trying to build the ShuttleA provided in the Orbiter SDK sampels. The solution is building without errors, but I am not getting any .dll generated, instead only a .exp and .lib. Would anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I have actually never attempted to build anything in the...

Hi Submariner, thanks fo rthe feedback! Unfortunately I made this so long ago and I don't have any documentation for it other than what was provided. I know the Ares lander is difficult to fly, but I rember sucessfully landing and taking off. My only advice would be to make sure you are...

I think I'm going to have to ask for some advice again... As I previously mentioned, I want to now calculate the temperature affect from the ambient atmosphere. After this, I will then try to calculate for dynamic pressure/friction heating. I figure a good place to start would be to get the...

Thank you all so much for all the info! @n72.75 thank you for the clarification... I had completely overlooked masso_O And thank you for the info on stiff equations. I have encountered this before but I was not aware there was a name for this. I have something which works better now, but still...

Hi All, I have been stuck on something for a few weeks now, and I am just going round in circles. My goal is to calculate a temperature reading based on some defined parameters (like surface area, emmisivity, etc.) Right now I am not getting into any aerodynamics or atmospheric thermodynamics...

Hi Marcin, From memory it is quite fiddly, but everything I needed I found in this thread: https://orbiter-forum.com/threads/orbiter-texture-tree-tools-ot3.34136/ Hope it helps!

Hi All, Hopefully a quick question here: I have a function which returns true if a vessel is currently in sunlight.... sort of... Essentially I am calculating if the local reference body is obscuring the sun, this is simple enough. However the issue arises if my vessel is say orbiting one of...

Thank you so much Martins! That is perfect, works exactly how I need it to now. I think I need to familiarize myself with the math functions more... I often find myself neglecting to use them... Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply! From what I can see in NASSP's code it doesn't really work out for what I am trying. As for your suggestion, I think that is straight-forward enough, but one thing I am really having diofficulty with is creating a rotation matrix for my defined direction vecotr in the...

Hi All, I would appreciate help with something rather complicated which I just can't seem to be able to approach on my own. I want to return the 'angle' to the sun of a direction vector in local-vessel frame. To better explain I have posted below code which achieves something simillar...

Hi All, Thank you so much for the suggestions. @n72.75 thank you for the advice, your comments on having a draw value in watts and calculating current based on that was particularly useful. I have since started to rewrite the systems API with an architecture closer to this, however my dear old...

MFD blackout! That’s a great idea! Yes this is the kind of affect I meant. Easy to simulate/calculate, but I was just stuck on what the actual affects might be. I have something like when you turn on HGAs, you get additional Mac receivers and IDS functionality, but beyond that I wasn’t sure how...

Thank you Urwumpe, all excellent points. Totally aggree. In trying to create something that could be adaptable for any type of power systems, I found myself just writing more and more vectors to the point it just became silly, especially in battery implementation, so I'll go in the direction of...

Hi All, One other thing I could use a vote on: I currently have 2 options for power simulation. First is an attempt to simulate amps, volts ect. and the second is a more simple veriosn which just simulates 'power' expressed in watts. The first option has become increasingly more complicated...

Thank you all so much for your interest in this! @4throck what kind of 'transmissions' simulation were you thinking of? I was toying with this idea but beyond just Orbiter's basic navigation (IDS/XPDR/etc.) which I have already implemented, I couldn't really think of any way that I could create...

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...

I have experienced this too. From what I have been able to tell, from testing, is this actually has something to do with the surface elevation rendering in Orbiter 2016. If the planet/moon is a simple sphere (as in the old versions, no terrain) this will seem to happen. FPS will drop when...

Are you hoping to load in entire scenario, or just a particular vessel? Also, are you hoping to load the state vectors from an actual scenario file, or do you want to load them from your own defined text document?
