Hi all, Thanks for the input, Ripley, PhantomCruiser. I agree that the framerate plays an important role when coding and executing an automatic guidance but I think that I may be experiencing something else. I was not able yet to test things out on my main computer (where I do final tests and...

Hi all, I believe that this is probably one of the most indicated places to write a little about Multistage2.dll aerodynamics stuff (in order to keep all info in the same spot, despite the time difference from the last post). At least it should be useful and relevant for future reference...

Hi Franz, I was planning to write about this sooner (when reading previous posts where you have mentioned the black MFD's problem) but I was not able yet to hunt some of my development notes... So, what follows next may not be helpful, but here it goes! I think that have experienced a similar...

NASA CxP SC (Dev Phase1): AresI + Orion + Centaur! (Lower Bookend Missions) --------------------------------------------------------------------- I. First Release Contents: Objectives Realignment --------------------------------------------------------------------- As more or less evident...

Hello all ---------------------------------------- Orion 607 (SC) - CSM Preview ---------------------------------------- Not being able to advance as fast as would like, I will attach a new image about the work in progress. Context: when 'playing' with the files I found myself looking, each...

Hi all Star Voyager: The Soyuz abort system takes ~half of the fairing with it because the orbital module is above the capsule. In Orion's case, just the CM is extracted from the vehicle although the overall integration kind of looks like an unique faring because of the way several components...

Hi Andrew, By the way I like your Orbiter / FOI toys, some of them have interesting points of contact with my own development, for example, in the alternative VSE SC reality I later replaced a 5 seg. SRB HTPB design (assumed to have been developed for STS and, in such alternative world, would...

Additional comments, like I wrote, this is all interlinked: I. The Constellation changes to ESAS recommendations (and after that) were caused by mass growth of several components, revised margins of several order (including better margins for vehicle development and mission design than what was...

Hi all Thanks, Some comments: The 'what if' component of the addon is related with: a) less known but still part of official design iterations of CxP hardware b) and/or still open trade spaces or other things related with eventual solutions that could protect the intended capabilities...

Hi all Thanks, here goes a new development post and render: NASA CxP SC (Dev Phase1): AresI (and a little about Orion) ------------------------------------------------------ I. CxP SC: Addon Development Background ------------------------------------------------------ Instead of releasing...

NASA Constellation SC (NASA CxP SC) ---------------------------------------------------- I. Objectives ---------------------------------------------------- To provide orbinauts with a 'standalone' and coherently integrated addon about NASA's canceled Constellation Program (CxP). I'm aware...

Hello all Please allow me two quick questions and one comment. Q1) Anyone knows how to contact Alcione? (Alcione, if by chance you are reading this, we really need to talk, could you please try to contact?) As a side note I remind orbinauts about the importance of including simple...

Hello I haven't tried the SLS addon and related scenario but the description caught my attention: As usual, what follows is only being written in a spirit of constructive feedback :) ----------------------------------- I. SLS + iCPS + Orion ----------------------------------- If using...

Thanks for the 05 update, I was not yet able to play with it (maybe next weekend). -------------------------------- I. Service Module Mass -------------------------------- I agree that the 6.2t on the JSC's Oct 2014 fact sheet may be a bit too much for the total SM mass (I mean, for the...

Hi again Franz (all) I could not contain the curiosity and today searched my archives for the (Vinka dll powered) simulation files that developed regarding the Delta IV Heavy + Orion integration and which referenced on my previous post. Objective: to do a quick and very clumsy update on the...

Hello francisdrake, nice to see you back ;) I have also been (still am) in a kind of 'away mode' although continue to incrementally improve my addons (but not really being able to pack all up and release). Moving on: based on such past virtual 'simcosmos' development experiments, I have a...

------------------------------------------------- simcosmos going offline (+future) ------------------------------------------------- Fellow orbinauts, Some of you may have noticed (or maybe not) that my site's contents - http://simcosmos.planetaclix.pt – are offline (since 9 jan 2014) except...

Hello Francisdrake (all) Although still doing private performance / trajectory and (slooooow...) addon development brainstorms I continue to be in a kind of 'away mode' from Orbiter (at least in what regards public interactions such as writing in forums). Nevertheless, I would like to write a...

Hi Nistenf, I'm sorry for taking so long to answer!!! (I do not login often): I do have updated DIRECT toys (and other) on my archives. As for releasing them, that is another question: free time is not what used to be years ago... Can't really tell when and what will release (or even when will...

Time.
