ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
Thanks drgullen,
Glad you enjoyed it. New version comming soon. I've been working many months on this and the new version is a lot better in every single aspect.
~20x faster. Grid plans (direct transfers) at 1000x1000 grid are now solved in sub-second times! The transfer that took 14.4...
Here's a full chess set for your instrument panel. ChessMFD turns any MFD into a complete chess experience:
play against a built-in engine at four strength levels, from a forgiving Novice that makes human-like mistakes to a full-strength Expert of roughly 2000+ Elo that most club players will...
Hi everyone,
I'm happy to release MediaPlayerMFD 2.0, a multimedia hub that turns any MFD into a full media center. Watch a mission briefing during coast, put on some music for a long burn, tune in to a web radio station, or browse actual YouTube - without ever leaving the cockpit.
What's in...
Wouldn't it be better to update the addon with the missing mask tiles, so it would work "out of the box", without the end user having to take extra steps?
Thanks for confirming and testing that bug again! (y)
I have reworked the "Shorts form mode". In the next version you will enter "shorts\[search term]" to get a query that returns only shorts. Once you play a video from that result list, you go into short form mode and the PRV/NXT buttons...

Do the search results also show Ukrainian on screen? Or do you get just the English (latin) characters and the rest as "???"
About the inner input box height. Done, descending letters are fully visible in the new version.
Please follow this EXACTLY:
1. Open the MFD, press MNU...
EDIT. ADDON HAS BEEN RELEASED HERE:
New version available (dll only). Numerous fixes and improvements in this one.
Download the attached file and unzip in your OrbiterRoot\Modules\Plugin folder. (overwrite the previous MediaPlayerMFD.dll)
You still need the CEF library, so if you haven't done...
Hehe! I think I might revisit my New Rome Drive-in (Fly-in?)
Anyways back to fixing bugs and addressing the issues reported, plus my list of features to add (in no particular order and certainly not in the order that I will tackle them):
Issue #0 (was already working on it when I uploaded the...
@misha.physics
Excellent testing round, thanks!
1. Great to hear!
2a. The button to skip adds is the FWD button. They are skippable as soon as the skip option is available on the video.
You mention that pressing FWD actually moves the add forward? Weird, hasn't happened to me. Will...
EDIT: ADDON HAS BEEN RELEASE HERE:
Test beta ready to be ...ehm... tested. Any brave souls around?
The size is large because I have included the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) library. When testing is complete and the MFD is ready to ship, I will probably not include it in the download...
Testing out various elements of the port to 2024.
I ended up mostly rewriting the engine. I figured out a way to display YouTube videos on the MFD that does not infringe on YouTube's terms of service.
There are a lot of things to fix/test/add before I can share a public beta for testing, but...
Been working on this for a while now. I wanted to port my MediaPlayer to Orbiter 2024.
Also wanted to remove the "video preprocessing" step that was required in the 2016 version for the audio to sync up with the video.
Both done. The new version plays in Orbiter 2024 and videos have perfect...
Once you have the mesh with all the frames as separate groups, you can use whatever method you want to display them sequentially.
Spacecraft3/4 shown in the vid, Vesselbuilder, Lua and of course a c++ module.
IMO a dll would be best, using oapiEditMeshGroup to edit the flag to render the group...
In this video, I use Spacecraft4 to bring 30-FPS humanoid animations to Orbiter Space Flight Simulator. I cover the entire pipeline: from Mixamo rigging and Blender to generating custom .ini components in a few minutes.
Here are the scripts that I used in the video:
Script for blender to...
Work on the MFD is moving a bit slower these days. I’ve found myself stuck in a bit of a loop while trying to "optimize the optimizer." I want the tool to find "Grand Tour" style solutions for the outer planets, but these are essentially "needle in a haystack" problems. Mathematically, they are...
I believe I had written this part before we had the Blender addon for Orbiter. The main idea was that you got your mesh as a single group with a single texture, animated it in mixamo and then got all the frames of the animation as separate groups of the mesh. After that you load the mesh in...
