You say you have a state vector and you want to create a TLE-File from it. You ask for terms like drag e.g. I think there is some basic misunderstanding. If you really have only a state vector, you can derive most information for the second (!) line only of the TLE-File, but nothing for the...

Depends on the task of the client. If you are in need of variable datasets as with changing MFDs that's ok. If you have a fixed dataset as in a telemetry application it requires a work-around, especially during client development, where you are often disconnecting/reconnecting during debugging...

Agreed, i was just wondering

Of course there always is a work-around. I should have asked: What is the benefit of having a different id for the same kind of information every time i reconnect to Orb:connect?

Hi together, if i subscribe a message in orb:connect, i get a message identifier starting with 1000 and counting up. Unsubscribing says e.g. UNSUBSCRIBE:1000=OK. However if i restart subscribing, the count does not start at 1000 again but will continue to count up from the previous highest...

First of all thank you for your quick answers. I think it is important to get in touch with one another to keep this thread alive. BTW: why is it called a Mega Thread? Up to now it looks tiny to me. @kamaz: I think, you simply have a different approach: You are asking "how", i am asking...

The Mission Control Mega Thread is fading already, so I thought it worthwile to do something about it, if we want it to become real. So i looked through all recent postings and wrote down a few thoughts about what we want to achieve and how we should proceed. What should a Mission Control...

Hi everybody Does anybody know, how i can make Lua-TCP/IP-sockets non-blocking? Presently polling a lua socket for incoming messages halts orbiter execution. Kind regards StefanE

Good to know, thank you. BTW: Communication with the "native" version via port 37777 is still not working, but this may be due to lack of knowledge on my side. I can analyze what is exchanged between server and client by looking at the TCP/IP messages using wireshark. I am facing a difficult...

this means by simply connecting to port 37777 instead of 38888 i get response from the "native" version ?

That did it! Now i have: c:\orbiter2010\Config\OrbConnect.cfg c:\orbiter2010\Modules\Plugin\Orbconnect.dll c:\orbiter2010\www (with contents!) The question is, why the extraction of the zip-File did not put (e.g.) OrbConnect.cfg into c:/orbiter2010/Config and OrbConnect.dll not into...

That was the reason why I asked for the files. If I extract the zip-File (Windows XP home edition), I usually geht the files extracted into their respective directories. If I extract OrbConnect-3.19.zip, I get a directory OrbConnect-3.19 at the same level (!) as the Modules-directory, which i...

Sorry, no luck: Native version: hangs with white screen web-version: 404 Not Found If i am right, OrbConnect.dll is the only file that makes the differnece between native and web-Version, Config ist the same for both, other files not really needed? Is that right ?

Hi together I am having difficulties getting Orbconnect::Web 3.19 to work. The Java Testclient is ok, but when i launch Firefox with 127.0.0.1:37777 i get the message "receiving data from 127.0.0.1" or more precisely "Übertragen der Daten von 127.0.0.1" (its a german Version), but the screen...

Hi together, I think the idea of a MCC fascinating. I would immediately jump on it! But... There are equivalent organisations in the internet for Air Traffic Control, many of us have probably heard of: VATSIM (formerly SATCO), IVAO und some minor more exotic structures. I myself was heavily...

Hi Urwumpe I think the solution to this problem is an entirely different one. When I did the first Orbiter2010-Install I allowed it to install in the default directory, which is "\Eigene Dateien" , resulting in very long path names. I removed Orbiter2010 and did a new install with the...

The same with LUA_CPATH: nil;)

Hi Urwumpe After several hours of unsuccessful testing i came upon the possibility to let me show the value of environment variables. local text text = os.getenv('LUA_PATH') term.out(text) This gives me: ;;C:\Programme\Lua\5.1\lua\?.luac The same with LUA_CDIR: nil The same with LUA_LDIR...

Hi Urwumpe Not being lazy I googled for global variables in context with orbiter, and found the following: "To determine its path, require first checks the global variable LUA_PATH". Problem is, that with a clean install of orbiter, there is no sign of a global variable in the Control Panel in...

Hi everybody, I am trying to get data out of Orbiter (2010 P1) to a 2nd Computer via RS232 or TCPIP, using the lua-interface. There are libraries for serial communication available (e.g. luars232), but the Orbiter-Lua-Interface does not seem to recognize them. As soon as I put a line "rs232 =...
