This also means you'll have to e-mail or PM any of the other mods about forum/moderation questions. You can find the...

    Article at: http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMI5HWPXPF_index_0.html I thought this might be interesting, as there are some people here that appear to have quite serious skills with planning trajectories. Even if it's just for the fun (strong opponent teams). If an interested team would be formed, it...

    [NL] Nu ook Nederlands...

    Zoals je kunt zien is er nu ook de [NL] prefix, om het forum nog completer te maken! Ik heb al aardig wat nederlanders voorbij zien komen hier in het Orbiter forum, maar nog geen nederlandse topics in het internationale forum.

    Parabolic flights

    Yesterday, I had the opportunity to be aboard a parabolic flight, this was great fun. Due to the size/interior setup of this plane, we could not completely float around like they do in the novespace A300 Zero-G, but it still offers a lot of possibilities. I was wondering if there are any other...

    Multistage/clustering experience?

    Hello all, I still have got some german Held-1000 rocket engines (C1.3-0), which I'm planning to use as multistage engines. A few weeks ago I used them on a rocket powered glider, this works.

    Max2msh exporter opacity problem

    Hello, I've been using Mindblast's great max2msh import/export tool in the past, it always worked good. For some reason I now encounter the following problem when I try to export various models in 3dsmax to msh: "Unknown property: "opacity" in ..." I have seen a question like this on the old...

    Jettison A Satellite

    A better meaning would be to 'release' something; to throw something overboard (from your ship). But don't they have dictionaries in the Philippines? You're asking lot's of questions (nothing wrong with that), that can be answered with just a little investigation of yourself.. Why is this in the...

    EasyTiler v.0.9 questions

    First of all, thanks NickD for this fantastic idea (also the integrated google-maps images downloader). I have some problems with EasyTiler. I am not sure if this subject was already covered in a thread on the M6 forum, but the forum is down right now, so therefore I will post it here. The...
