Yes, I'm using 2016... Orion-MPCV is available in the forum. But you can also test the Crew Dragon (https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=7198), just to see if you can reproduce what I'm talking about. Perhaps is there something to do in the add-ons to make them fully compatible with your...

Works fine with the standard Delta Glider, but not with Crew Dragon or Orion-MPCV (see attached orbiter.log)

Cool, but no HUD... HUD drawer SDK v.0.4 installed, but HUD button does nothing.

Absolutely great. Many thanks Philippe

Could you please explain how to add product/consume functionality to vessels other than ISS? Tried to add a custom config file for Orion-MPCV, but can't address the proper vessel part. My config file: ; === Configuration file for vessel class Orion-CEV === ClassName = PCM-Orion-MPCV MeshName =...

Add-on Description: This add-on for Orbiter 2016 is designed as a companion MFD for francisdrake’s Orion-MPCV spacecraft and its default “Orange SLS” launcher (https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=34839). It currently it contains 3 functions: SLS launch autopilot: launches the...

OrionAP actually is a script-MFD, and as so uses an LUA script. The autopilot takes hand each 0.1 sec (which appears to be a good compromise between guidance accuracy and CPU usage, at least on the configuration I used for tests). It seems that with some add-ons it can cause some frame hang-on...

CPU usage Remark from the author: the ascent autopilot (SLS mode) takes control every 0.1 second for making trajectory adjustments. If you are using XR Sound it is recommended to increase the UpdateInterval value to 0.1 in the XRSound.cfg file.

In docking mode, activating the TRIM autopilot doesn't seem to do anything. With this new version, I cannot automatically dock as the RCS in linear mode doesn't seem to be controled any more by the MFD. The alignment (roll) works fine, but the vessel is not automatically aligned in x, y or z...

FYI, the previously posted code had a bug in managing the position of the LAN. After a few tries, I made a fix. Now the function returns proper elements in all cases - as far as I can see -. matrix = require "matrix" v = vessel.get_focusinterface() function Get_Target_Elements_eq() Rref =...

Very strange… Using DXD9 client I tested various MFD refresh rates (1x and 10x par sec) as well as several MFD sizes and never noticed that. Anyway, here is a patch that should solve the problem. For the reentry process, I’ve chosen to use the Retrograde mode to accelerate the descent and have...

File attached...

Here is an updated OrionAP.cfg with new heading limits (now 200 to 340°). Just replace the existing one in Config\MFD. The file includes other enhancements. In the RNT mode, you can somehow control your reentry path if you unlock the Retrograde mode and gently roll the ship to the right for...

Here is a new MFD including 2 autopilots for Orion-MPCV: SLS-launch and Orion reentry. It replaces the slsap.lua script. Please read the documentation for installation instructions. Any feedback welcome... Phil

OK, works well now. Just added LPe_e = LAN_e+AgP_e to complete the returned elements. Many thanks..........

Thanks very much for the link. The algorithm seems to perfectly fit my needs. However the example code does'nt work as is. Matrix.lua requires another module, complex.lua. And, even if I copy these 2 modules (using the full matrix package, see attached), the execution fails at first line : Rref...

I try to get the equatorial inclination of my orbit within an LUA script. The LUA implementation of function GetElements does not seem to support the frame parameter, and the only elements I get are the ecliptical ones. So no option for getting this value directly from OAPI library... Any idea?

It is for Orbiter 2016, and works with Francisdrake's "Orange-SLS"

For those interested in the previous version, here is an upgraded autopilot for FrancisDrake's Orange-SLS. Have fun...

I'm glad that you like it (I just discovered LUA in this occasion...). Perhaps I will improve it a bit, not so happy with the azimuth control... And I think it wouldn't be a big deal to integrate the script in your development (there is somewhere an API entry to call an LUA script, so you could...
