I noted with the downloads of IMFD57 that a pdf manual in the Doc section is for the version 5.3. Has there ever been an updated version to 5.7 been prepared and if so, what is the link to it, please.
I am modelling a vessel in Blender. This vessel will have an airlock and I intend to animate the airlock doors (translation fore and aft) and use Vinka's Spacecraft when I have transferred the model to Orbiter (using Blake's tools). How do I setup and name the animation mesh groups to correctly...
I recently ran into a situation that puzzled me. When working in sRGB colors are expressed in three characters such as 0,0,255. I ran into a four character description such as 0,0,0,255. I didn't recognize this. Is this a CMYK description? Could someone please educate me on this one.
Thanks in...

I thought I remembered a posting where someone was looking for a working link to "Go Play In Space". Did they find what they were after or still need a copy?
Good day, folks. I'm looking for a mapping tool where I can plug in the Surface and/or Elevation tiles of Mars and visually see where they are. Any ideas?
Here is an odd one. I set up a mission to go from Mars to Ceres using the Frelon. I initially set time for today, and launch the mission. After doing what set up I need to do using IMFD and TransX2, I let the mission run in real time in the background. If I get lazy or take a nap, I will often...
When I want to change the "Now" date in the scenario editor, it enters the date in UTC. I have to manually change it to EST. How do I change the configuration of the scenario editor to use EST?
Can anyone advise on how to obtain MOLA data to build an accurate Mars surface? In particular, I'm interested in the Erebus Montes area but it is the general extraction of height data that I want to discuss?
