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.
Hi there,
after a long period I found some time to look again at my fork of orbitersim/orbiter at github.
There are Pull Requests from dependabot (in my fork), what is the recommended way to handle these?
Thanks in advance,
Kuddel
Couldn't find any thread on Change'e-6 so far(*), so here's the news:
China's spacecraft takes off from moon with first samples from lunar far side
(*) might have been posted in an Chang'e-5 thread, though.
Hi there,
I am currently trying to build the Documentation of OpenOrbiter.
According to Martins post I've set ORBITER_MAKE_DOC to "ON" (in CMakePresets.json) and I think I have all the required tools.
But CMake complains with something like this:
1> [CMake] CMake Error at...
Seems like roscosmos is launching Luna 25 this week.
You'll find the information on the news-page of your choice ;)

Hi there,
I am a bit puzzeled by this "This branch is 7 commits ahead of orbitersim:main." message at my github-fork:
clicking on the link leads me to this set of change:
Can someone with knowledge tell me what's that all about?
I would like to have my main-branch exactly like...

Hi there,
I like to know if anyone has a good source (apart from what I list here) about the flashing interval / period of the VERB NOUN Flash of the DSKY?
My findings (so far):
The flashing is done by the DSKY, not by the AGC.
So the frequency is determined by a circuit in the DSKY (absolute...
I've tried to search or "gcGUI" in the "D3D9Client Development" thread but nothing was found...
Even if I added to search only posts by user "jarmonik", still no cigar.
And I am sure that "gcGUI" is mentioned in that thread (see for example here...
When I change the "Enable Similar Threads" option under my Preferences it seems that none of the option is working.
I've tried " No selection", "Yes" and "No" but I always see the "Similar threads" at the bottom of a tread page.
Hi,
I've noticed something that doesn't seem to be right:
When compiling the Orbiter2016 branch, ApolloRTCCMFD_Display.cpp uses oapi::Sketchpad::TextW method, although that method is only available in Orbiter BETA (DrawAPI.h) as far as I can tell...
DrawAPI.h
// Present in 2016 (and BETA)...
Finally here's the Lua (sub-)Forum!
My current progress and questions regarding the Orbiter Lua API will be posted here.
I will update this 1st post with the current state, as soon as it changed.
New items (since last edit of this post) will be marked green
The attached file represents the...
Hi there,
I was fiddling around some optimizations for the D3D9Client build process lately and I now want to see whether it's worth it (or not).
So attached you'll find two versions of D3D9Client, A and B
One of them might perform better...
To not bias you in your experience, I'm not telling...
Hi,
I've come to a problem that is very strange (at least to me ;) ):
I have an MFD which calls
orbiterSoundId = ConnectToOrbiterSoundDLL(vessel->GetHandle());
in its constructor.
After some button pressing etc. a 'Play' method does basically something like this:
if...
Hi there (Europeans),

Hi,
I have several scenarios that were made for "older" Versions of Orbiter (don't know exactly, but they seem to be made for Orbiter "pre 060929")
that I like to update.
I don't like to move the bases/pads/launchers manually via the Scenario-Editor, 'cause it feels like "guessing" ;)
So...
Hi NASSP Team,
the current CVS-Version of NASSP (Version "2012-01-14") seems to have an issue with translational RCS in 'Virtual AGC Mode'.
In 'Quickstart Mode', the toggle between translation/rotation works fine (via Numpad "/"), but only rotation works when you fly in 'Virtual AGC Mode'...
Hi,
after I saw the request of Stevodoran here and found that this was of no use (at least I couldn't get it to do anything) I decided to implement this:
Warp Control MFD/Plugin:
WarpCtrl(MFD) is the way to control the time acceleration factor (time-warp) beyond the internal limits of...
Hi there,
I would like to share the (very minor) changes I've made to martins original 'Flight Data Monitor' that were requested by SuprunP in the
Flight Data Monitor with an MFD Interface + Horizontal and Vertical Velocity request-issue.
So here it is: "Flight Data Monitor 'Plus'" ;)
