I figured it out. I wasn't UV mapping the mesh correctly. I tried it in Blender instead, and it textures now. I think some normals need adjusting (see below, the second picture), but it should look great. Now I'll try to learn the current method for irregular body rendering, rather than using...

I used GIMP to save two versions, one using BC3 / DXT5 compression and the other using BC1 / DXT1 compression. Neither worked. There's no abnormalities in orbiter.log when I run the sim. The texture does not appear in either graphics client. I notice that if I change the material in Anim8or...

Hello, I've made a mesh of Saturn's moon Mimas based on a shape model of the actual moon (I'll gladly upload it to Orbit Hangar if anyone's interested in it). It appears correctly in Orbiter, is accurately scaled, and is oriented correctly relative to Saturn, but the DDS texture does not get...

I think I missed a dependency. I tried to activate the module and I got that message about msvcp140.dll being missing... even though I have the dll in system32. Did I miss a dependency?

I don't really have the computer know-how to install PyKEP/PyGMO, but having read your posts in the math/science board, it appears to be a powerful trajectory planning tool. Lately I have been experimenting with GMAT, which has a lovely GUI for knuckleheads like myself and a C++ like coding...

Hi Keithth, I understand. Multi-period Lambert solver eh? I should read up on the math involved. I fiddled with the manoeuvre variables as you suggested, and was able to use TransX to come up with a flyby trajectory that placed me in the approximate orbit around the sun I needed, but it...

Hello, I've been using Orbiter for the last 10 years but I've only recently learned to use IMFD. Best decision ever. My question is fairly specific. I'm flying a low-dV flight plan to Jupiter involving multiple flybys of inner solar system planets. In between my first flyby (Venus, MJD =...
