    C++ Question Is it possible for a Mesh to be a Resource

    Guys, I am currently working with Chuck Tetakel on writing a .dll for his fabulous model of Dream Chaser. We have been discussing the possibility of somehow allowing a mesh to become a resource embedded in the .dll. I fully realize that this is not the ordinary or maybe even easy way to do...

    Question Improved framerates with CrossfireX

    My motherboard supports CrossfireX and I have been thinking about adding a second video card for improved performance. I realize that this would likely not have any effect with DX7 but could improve performance using the DX9 client? I don't want to waste my money if it would have little or nor...

    Flight Question Is anyone use Velco's attached stage functionality?

    I am looking for an add-on as an example that uses Velcro Rockets attached stage functionality. I am working on an add-on and this seems like the perfect method to make a "payload" with a 2D cockpit or VC visible during assent without having to write a custom .dll for all the stages of a rocket...

    Advanced Question Is there an easy way to combine orbiter meshes?

    I am working on a Multistage2 add-on and have come across a curious problem. The add-on I am making is actually based on 3 existingt elements stacked on top of each other as a payload. Based on what I have seen done by others it seems that the way to do this is to create a temporary mesh out of...

    General Question Addon using Attachments

    I have read all the documentation I can find on using attachments but what I really need is a good example to experiment with. While the information I have found is useful it is difficult to apply it directly to a new scenario. Can anyone recommend an addon that uses a lot of attachments -...

    C++ Question MFD Button Labels for USER MFD's

    I have been an Orbiter fan for a long time and am working very seriously now on my own .dll based ship. I am working specifically on a very wide panel (1920 pixels) and have room for at least 3 or maybe even 4 MFD's while realizing that there may be frame rate problems. I have all the MFD...
