    Advanced Question Simulation of Transsonic effects

    Hello everyone, I'm currently working on the simulation of the re-entry of a lifting capsule. I already have decently working aerodynamics and all that stuff, but I found somehing i can't quite explain: The callback function for aerodynamic coefficients works fine and generally the results in...

    SDK Question How do I update airfoil parameters every time step?

    Hey everyone, I'm currently working on a lifting caspule Soyuz module. I have Literature values that state, that the Soyuz flies with a changing trim angle of attack for different Mach numbers. The Soyuz has a shifted CoG (Cetner of Gravity/Mass) and I set the CoP (Center of Pressure) in a way...

    SDK Question Trouble with the produced drag of airfoils

    Hello everyone, I'm currently (still) working on a lifting capsule Soyuz model for re-entry simulation. As described in the API Guide I have defined two airfoils, one for horizontal and one for vertical lift with all the given parameters. The Code is as follows: double D1 = 2.2; VECTOR3...

    SDK Question Questions about the functionality of airfoils

    Hello Everyone, I'm currently working on the soyuz spacecraft for a reentry simulation and have a few questions about the way airfoils work. I've already read this Forum Post: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=38047 about how to programm lift generating capsule and the use of...
