Thanks for the reply Jarmonik. I wish I could say the quick patch fixed it, but sadly it didn't. Is it a known issue or maybe my graphics card? I think not knowing what's messing it up is bugging me more than than the messed up textures lol. EDIT: WAIT! It does work! I followed your...

Hi all, been away from Orbiter a while, but now I'm using it again and I love the D3D9r12! looks so good. Just have an issue with base textures at night. The base here is a version of Brighton I made back with Orbiter 2006. I understand the solar plants and trains don,t work using the...

Seconded...vehemently! Yeah, kinda fun reentry. Ha, I could never get close to Agent's Psycho-Airline's time. In fact I think I actually only made it alive a couple times. Oh no, another one? I spent days trying your 9min direct ascent to (ESS in my case) and still could only get it down to...

Speaking of the XR2 being forgiving, I didn't intentionally make this reentry this way, it was probably just another poor start from the moon. I did find it fun as there's not much room for error. Have never uploaded a .scn before, but I've stripped everything out of it so it should work for...

What a great post. Thanks so much Tommy for taking the time and making the effort. I really appreciate it and hopefully anyone else who reads it will too. It makes me realize that even though I've had Orbiter on my pc since Sept 2006... there is virtually no "finesse" to the way I fly lol...

Thanks Tommy and Jarmo for the responses. Think I'm getting there. 1st I think I made an error with regard to TEj and GET. I kept thinking that a Tej of 6400s and a GET of 22hr meant that the mission elapsed time would be close to 24hrs...duh. So yes, my test .scn from Brighton was 22hrs MET...

Heh, there is dg there is. Unfortunately it's on the tip of my brain and it's staying there. Once it's sorted we'll kick ourselves as I just don't think it's that complex. But that is why I used the numbers above for my testing (90E for moon long, 6400 TEj & 22hr GET). It's close to 24 hrs...

Hmm, not only is that odd, it's really good to know lol. Another little tidbit you have delivered which I'll remember. I must be dim, cause I can't figure out the relationship mentioned above. Heh I'd be fired as the pilot for this trans-lunar service for sure. I keep attempting to do some...

Hi jarmonik, hehe, I'm not surprised you're not sure what I'm getting at. I had a tough time trying to put my question into words so people would understand what I'm asking. By the way, is "ration" in your post just a typo for "ratio"? I assume it is. Basically, in the tutorial that Tommy...

Ahh, I see. I was looking for direct reentry as I know how to aerobrake, but thanks for the response all the same. I'll definitely keep the "opposite long/lat" info in my brain for emergencies. Also, the Ant as you probably know is the estimated degree differential between your selected base...

Thansk dg, yep that makes sense. I'll try it for fun for sure. The only issue (and why I mentioned the Eqi) was I was starting from the surface launch program in which you first have to input the proper Eqi into the Planet Approach page. And mainly I was curious about the mathematical...

Hi all Orbinauts, I have a question re a specific part of the direct reentry setup for say moon to earth but would also like to be able to apply to say an Earth to Mars trip. I have searched "Direct Reentry" and have found a few informative threads but they don't answer my specific question. I...

Yep that all makes sense. I would imagine it got screwed up when I manually changed the MJD of the whole .scn but didn't make a similar change for the timer and it was running. Either setting it back to 0 in the .scn or adding the new MJD to the readout line. I'll just have to remember to do...

Shoot dbeachy I wish I could. I'm sure it has something to do with me being in orbiter and using the scenario editor to either add an XR2 or move it or changing the MJD of a .scn? I just noticed that during a playback .scn that someone posted the M.E.T. started at wheels up which made me...

Hi, Just a quick question about the M.E.T for the XR2 (Original Orbiter) I've notice in some scenarios I've created and/or changed by either adding an XR2 or changing the date when one was already in there etc.. The Mission Elapsed Timer stops initiating at wheel's up. I've noticed that the...

Yer evil my friend. That XR2 to ISS challenge is eating up my days lol. Having a great time with it. Gonna go watch yer playback.... again hehe.

Sorry Stevo wish I could hlp, but I've been practicing this for a while now and still can't get below 13 min lol (from engine start to contact). Using a diff scenario and launching from Wideawake but that shouldn't make much of a difference. It's a fun challenge that's fer sure. At the very...

Hmm, just posted a thank you but it didn't take. But thank you again hielor! I've d-load it & will throw it in right now. I didn't realize how much it was bugging me until I realized how happy this little fix made me. Nice one. Cheers XonE32

Thanks DG that hlps. I have a feeling that although I have the correct Launch Azimuth calculated; my "by the book" ascent profile must be from the wrong book. In other words I need to go back an reread the XR2 manual 'cause I'm doing it wrooong lol. Thanks again! XonE
