    General Question Moon high resolution texture question

    I recently installed the moon high resolution texture. I can't really tell the difference between it and the old low resolution texture that I had. I realize that the place where the difference should be seen is down close to the ground, but I see nothing. Is there something that I might be...

    Problem Code works as an upper level function, but not when called.

    Yes. This is exactly what I meant (sorry if I wasn't clearer). Additional experimentation leads me to believe that all functions work ok (even when called progromatically) except for those where I set thruster values, wait a given period of time, then disable those thrusters. Can anybody verify...

    Question VTOL info? (specifically direction)

    As I approach a VTOL pad I would like to be able to obtain information (via Lua) on the pad's bearing and distance. Distance is not a problem: range = oapi.get_navrange(hNav) I don't see anything that will give me a bearing. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    Problem Code works as an upper level function, but not when called.

    I have a piece of code to establish a constant vertical velocity on the moon of 1 m/s which works just fine when invoked directly, but not when called. When called, the Delta Glider NT barely moves at all and settles back to the ground very quickly. I don't understand what is going on here. Any...

    Question Calculations and execution times?

    When performing calculations, do you need to account for the execution times of proc.skip() and proc.wait_simdt(dt)?

    Problem proc.wait_simdt() issue?

    Yes. Inserting a proc.skip() solved the problem I was having. Thanks.

    Problem proc.wait_simdt() issue?

    Ok. Back home again. Attached are two items: control skeleton of attached Lua script file entire Lua script file Maybe the control skeleton will be enough to reveal the problem I am having. Maybe not. If you look through the Lua script file, be aware that it still needs quite a bit of work...

    Problem proc.wait_simdt() issue?

    I have used proc.wait_simdt(dt) in the past without any problem. I am several hundred miles today from the script I am writing. The call is in a loop, but I can't remember if it is a while-do loop or a repeat-until loop (actually I think it is in repeat-until which is nested inside of a...

    Problem proc.wait_simdt() issue?

    Sometimes when I use proc.wait_simdt() it will cause Orbiter to hang or freeze. I figure: I am doing something in other parts of the script causing this behavior or there might be some issue with this routine that I don't know about I would appreciate any insight that anyone could offer. Thanks.

    Question Is there a good way in Lua to determine vertical velocity?

    Is there a good way in Lua to determine what your vertical velocity is at any given time? Thanks in advance.

    Question Lua call to open retro engine doors?

    This is fantastic. Thanks. I've tried the Retro() function and it works just fine. Is there anyway I could have found out about these functions without asking?

    General Question Blinking display

    I have not consciously installed the D3D9 client, so I assume that it is not present (could it have been installed without my knowing about it?). I have ticked the "Disable hardware pageflip" option in the Video tab and (for the moment) the blinking has disappeared. Time will tell. Thanks for...
