Hey all, The short version is: Does anyone know where to find a copy of the "Personal Edition" of Delphi 6, or anything else that could be used, legally, to manipulate and compile a project that is written in Delphi 6? The reason I ask is, in short, because I'm trying to get back into Orbiter...

Hey all, I'm in the process of designing an addon for Orbiter (it's still on the drawing board, so don't hold your breath). Essentially, the craft will use a capsule to preform re-entry, à la the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo capsules. I've come across a point in my designs where my...

Hey all, I was just wondering, is there an equation out there that will (painlessly) give the orbital period of an orbit where the perihelion and aphelion are very, very different. I ask only because I realise from working out the total orbital period, I can work out the time it takes...

Hey all, I noted that when you put in a Inclination and LAN of a target orbit into LaunchMFD, which is what TransX gives you, it creates a dummy vessel called LaunchMFD-Probe and targets it. Am I right in assuming that this vessel has the orbit that I want to have when I make my TransX ejection...

Heya all, I'll skip to the point: What is the best way to become proficient at atmospheric flight and space manoeuvres, such as docking? When I think of you guys flying, and see screnies and so on, it makes me realise that you guys must be able to fly with military precision, with skills that...

I've been looking around the internet and it seems to me like the most popular vessel for station construction is the Dragonfly. I've never used it myself, but it seems like a very complex vessel. Perhaps that's why I've never used it ;) My two questions are these: 1. Why is it so popular for...

Well, I know it's not a walk in the park. If it was, I'd bring my dog along. ;) But, here's what I want to know: 1. Is it difficult to learn how to code C++? That's what Orbiter uses, right? 2. Is it anything like VB.NET? Cheers, James.

Well, today is a special day for me. Today, I made my first complete trip, from the Cape to ISS, then from the ISS to Acension Island. Happy days! To make it all the better, it was using a standard (gasp) XR1! Now, I'll be truthfull. The acent left something to be desired, didn't exactly stick...

I seem to have a smal problem with the XR5 (1.0c version). I placed a Dragonfly (there's a config swimming around somewhere in the hangar) and a bunch of SSBB modules in the cargo area. Simple enough. Then I quicksaved, and exited. When I loaded the quicksave, the cargo was not in the XR5. It...

Hey all, I was just wondering if there was a mathmatical formula that I could use to work out possible launch times to Space Stations, when the planes are allredy alligned (or pretty close).

Well, after a long absence from Orbiter, I decided to give the old girl a bit of a spin. I downloaded Rendezvous MFD, loaded up the example scenario, only to find myself unable to controll the Delta Glider. Here's a list of the symptoms: Unable to use the sliders to manipulate the engines (the...

Rats, how could we forget? How did we forget Friday the 13th? The jokes and puns possible... But we may still be able to salvage it, for it is Saturday the 14th here, but, in other places, such as America, it may still be prior to midnight. Quick! A pun, joke, witty coment, anything! For the...

I have a problem. A pretty major problem. So major, in fact, that I can't re-create Apollo 11! Grrrr... Oh yeah, the bug. It's quite simple. I load up an AMSO scenario. There is supposed to be a little thing in the lower left corner, yes? Something saying T-xyz? Anyway, I'm following...

I recently tried to strap (UCD) two of Burch's "Hyper Wedges" together. I copied the 06 scenario, and doctored it so that there was two SSJs, SSJ01 and SSJ02 (I modified the location a bit). SSJ02 simply was not there. F3 showed the SSS01, the SSB01, even the SSJ01. No SSJ02. I'm on a PSP atm...

A penny for your thoughts! I recently had a look at the Recommended Addons thing. And, strike me down, I saw the Generic Mod Enabler. I downloaded it, and am currently in the process of installing my addons with it. But it's taking AGES. Dragging on and on... little things like...

Does anyone know of a good bandwidth monitor, as in one that monitors usage per program? Like Process Explorer and so on monitors Ram and CPU usage for each program, is there any programs that do the same for bandwidth?

I need some help. Specifically, I need some formulas. If you know your maths, read on. First of all: Formulas relating to the Energy Project, which is a launch vehicle by Kulch. I know that these would be better placed at the main Orbiter forums, but M6 doesn't have a good track record, if...
