:salute: Last question for today: nobody answered me about a CG shifting feature. Is there one?

Thank you for this clarification, Moach! So if I understand well, main engine in rocket mode (INT on EICAS) uses fuel from both main and oxy tanks ?

Hey Grover! Thank you for the details. I know the EICAS ascent profile, and I managed to remain between the line, but even like that, I hit T3 with only 70k main fuel (checklist says ~80k) and after that I was not able to get a high enough PeA when ApA hit 180km (which was my target). Maybe I...

Hi there! I made few other attempts, an I almost achieved orbit insertion. I mean I flew out of the atmosphere, but I was not able to circularize, because Ecc was too high. Plus, I found the OMS to be very weak, for me who flies XR2 and DG4 all the time, but I think it's normal. Now, I...

Thanks ! I didn't found any information on keys mapping, so I thought I could click on the 3D throttle in the VC, but I couldn't. I will try again tonight.

Hi there ! This Starliner is a pretty good plane ! I tried WIP3 on saturday for the first time and I really enjoyed it. But I could not get it to orbit, since I wasn't able to use the ramcaster throttle. It didn't move at all, even if the doors were open and the chart on the EICAS showed I was...

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the height limit has been set to 512 blocks in the 1.8 version.

Hi there ! I'm also a Minecraft addict, always playing peaceful and... industrial ! I'm a big fan of a pair of incredible mods : Buildcraft and Industrial Craft. Do you know them ? Since last week, I also use an alchemy mod (Equivalent Exchange), which let you make transmutation of items...

Hello guys ! I built a small desktop generic panel for Orbiter. It doesn't look like any real panel, but it provides standards commands for Orbiter, and th most interesting : I have differents controls for rotation and translation RCS thrusters ! It makes docking manoeuvers very cool !

Ah yes I forgot tp precise that I used 2010P1. Maybe it just needs to be recompiled with 2010P1 SDK ?

Hello ! Yesterday I tried this new version, but it caused CTD each time I tried to use it. When I launch the MFD, I click on REG to register my ship (which is shown as "non registered"), then it crashes. Any idea about what causes these CTD ? Thanks

Hi ! I mapped ROT commands on Shift+NumpadN, and there are no conflicts anymore. Now I can use Translation and Rotation RCS without changing RCS mode, pretty cool. I just have to be carefull when I enter digits in popup input boxes, and not use Numpad for this. If I do, RCS thrusters fire...

I try this tonight. Thank you :thumbup:

Hello ! I found this plugin very interresting ! Unfortunately it didn't work on my PC... In fact, if I set the RCS in Rotation mode and hit NUMPAD6, the ship goes forward and roll on the right in the same time. Good luck for debugging. Very cool idea ! ;)

In my opinion, the best solution would be addon developpers provide config file to let users modify the mapping. But as a profesionnal developper I know adding such a feature to an already released program is quite boring...

TSPenguin > Yes ! yagni01 > I'll try that, but I don't have enough time tonight, unfortunately. Maybe tomorrow. ---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was Yesterday at 07:24 PM ---------- Just to be sure... You mean "map another key to Ctrl-A (english, so Ctrl-Q french)" ?

Don't know if I already mentioned that : if I switch my keyboard layout to english, Ctrl-A works for APU ! On french keyboards, A and Q are inverted compared with english keyboards.

Yes ? How does it work exactly ? Because my problem is that 2 features use the same key on my keyboard, and one is prioritary...

My Orbiter is installed on a Macbook Pro running XP Pro SP3. About my keyboard layout, I'll check it tonight when I'm at home. I'll also try to run Orbiter on my girlfriend PC to see if the behavior is different from a Mac keyboard.

I guess I could use AutoHotKey to perform a mouse click on the APU button on the panel when I hit Ctrl+A, but I need to be on the central panel to do this. If there is no other solution, I'll try that :)
