I thought I share with you guys what I have been doing in SSP recently. I found PowerCraft which is a very intuitive and simple industrial/automatation mod. In just a few hours I was able to build a nice remote controlled subway system: mc.avi - YouTube

This one is fairly obvious, but some people may not think of it, so I put it up here. Whenever I explore a cave (or dig out mining shafts) I always put my torches on the right wall. This way I can easily find the exit by keeping the torches to my left. If exits are not easily seen, I usually...

Starting here with some things I start to remember from playing Minecraft. Are you annoyed by gravel? Here's a useful hint. If you are in front of a high gravel wall and you just want to dig along, don't waste your shovel. Destroy the lowermost gravel block with a torch and immediately place...

Just stumbled over this, from nature: http://www.nature.com/news/super-earths-give-theorists-a-super-headache-1.9636

So yes, my intention here is to collect the best TV series that Orbinauts have watched. I don't like the idea of putting them into an order of which is "the best" as that isn't really fair. Most series aren't really comparable. So I chenge you, if you had a TV station to show your TV series all...

Wow. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/12/joint-strike-fighter-13-flaws/

This is kind of amusing. http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.platform/browse_thread/thread/c0b1d383f9a8ca63?pli=1

Since getting back into Orbiter I stumbled over a lot of issues and solutions, as usual if you like tons of addons. Sometimes it is easy to notice a simple fix for some issue, let me use Deepstar 2.0 as an example here. It works fine in 2010P1 if the dll files in the root directory are removed...

Hi, I'm in the process of building my first station but I seem to lack some basic things. For example, I have the Solar Modules for ISS (http://www.orbiterfrancophone.com/index.php?disp=addons&id=10) and let's say I want to attach a Neesys...

Okay I am a bit confused about LaunchMFD. Situation is like this: Want to launch in the next hour for Moon interception. The problem is that LaunchMFD doesn't count down to 0 (Time to Intersection). It goes down to like 2800s and then "resets", wanting to wait another rotation. Can anyone...

This should actually be the right community to ask about this, I have been wondering for a while. Science assumes four fundamental forces and I wonder how dark matter and dark energy fit in there. Dark matter would probably be gravity, and dark energy is not a force as such but a trait of...

So I planned to take away an highscore from you and claim my third poker title. And there happens stuff like this: :blink: and a bit later this: :uhh: 67k, really? What the hell, how could you stand this? :lol:

NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has found bright veins of a mineral, apparently gypsum, deposited by water. Analysis of the vein will help improve understanding of the history of wet environments on Mars. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-377&rn=news.xml&rst=3220

I want to install a second instance of Orbiter but noticed that if I call up the installer it detects the previous installation and only gives the options to repair or remove. I'm a bit in worry about my existing install as it has quite a few Add-Ons and is finally working without CTDs. How...

Possibly next tuesday we will know more. CERN has invited to a seminar on the 12th december. Rumors are that the Higgs Boson may have been found at around 125 GeV: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2011/dec/06/is-higgs-boson-real

I'm trying to understand this: I can launch Orbiter just fine and Wideawake (Wideawake International) looks perfectly fine to me. However, Orbiter Diagnostics warns about a lot of missing meshes that are definitely not missing. For instance: D:\games\orbiter\Config\Earth\Base\Ascension.cfg...

I tried reading the manual, various tutorials and forum posts but I am not that much smarter: What actually is the difference between a direct and an equatorial approach? In the BaseSyncMFD it switched the nodes by 90° and the base by 180° -- I am really unsure what that actually means. Can...

I tried to change the Orbiter.cfg (namely adding MFDMapVersion = 0 for HiRes-Maps) but everytime I load a scenario, Orbiter.cfg is re-written to the original one. Thus I can't change anything in there. Any idea what would cause this?

The Mars reentry gives me a bit of trouble. Not that I don't manage to come down, but it's mostly guesswork. I'm looking for the correct procedure. The situation is as follows: I am sitting in a DGIV in a circular orbit at 200km. I am nicely aligned with Olympus, a close 3m approach in 1,5...

I hope this is the right Forum. I was loading my scenario from yesterday. Situation: Deepstar just finished the TMI burn and just left Earth SOI. Now all the sudden I get strange trajectories on my IMFD Map display: These highly eccentric trajectories around the sun jump all around too on TC...
