Hello, I have a small laptop problem. It's an old laptop still working like a breeze, with only 1 boot device, the cd/dvd (no boot usb support), that unfortunately now is broken - doesn't read anymore. So for now I installed Plop boot manager (http://www.plop.at/en/home.html), that allows me...

Hello, I'm trying to perform a tangential transfer to Mars with TransX. I performed the same, "almost-partially-successful" :lol: with IMFD, that helped me to reach Mars Soi. With TransX i set the date of departure as in IMFD, and after some tweaking, I got a reasonable Encounter plan...

May be it's a stupid question, but... Before I was using a multi-axis joystick (now scrapped) + flyByWire, and with that system I was able to use RCS independently of any autopilot holds. Now I decided to rely only on keyboard, but I found that I'm not able to use RCS while holds are...

While I solved most of biggest graphical (and not) problems with a new driver, I found this bug only after having activaded during simulation Camera MFD. If Camera MFD is loaded in modules, but not used, everything is ok. The simulation itself it's not compromised by this bug, only VC and...

It is said that this guy is just an hoaxer, but seeing how is going economy right now I'm not that sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp-MQhssCqI&feature=player_embedded Here an interview from Forbes...

It's quite a lot of time that I'm trying to figure out the reason why Win 7 doesn't like Orbiter. I don't know if it's a useful info, but this is what I found: 1) Orbiter doesn't like Win graphics effects/themes like transparency, aero and so on, so better to disable them from compatibility...

I thought it was a D3d Client issue, but it seems a problem related to XR fleet. 1) XR-1 is OK; 2) XR-2 crashes Orbiter, if can be useful, when it comes the sign" loading supportmodules.dds" or something similar. 3) XR-5 starts, but completely invisible and not responding to commands. A clean...

I recorded the scenario "Rescue Disabled XR1-01 (hard)" for XR-1, switching between XR-1s with F3 key to perform nosecone and doors operations for docking. When I played back I saw that nosecone animation is performed only on focused vessel, so while performing docking, RESCUE-01 opended...

Yesterday I completed the challenge scenario from XR2 Ravenstar 1.4 installation. Personally I didn't find very difficult to get Mars reentry, provided there was no AeroBrake MFD restriction, instead, the tanks search was to me very unnerving. If you completed this challenge too, it would be...

Hi there, I have some doubts about Target in Planet Approach. While in the manuals it's well described how to set it, I find difficult to find examples on targets different from "l" (equatorial). The other options are "e" (ecliptic), "r" (reference planet), "g" (geostationary), but changing...

I discovered just now that playbacks don't work anymore, not even standard ones (that I'm sure they were working), they just behave like normal scenarios. Is there any option to enable it or do something?

Hello, switching from Setup to Escape Plan the foreground color of earth becomes white, so my orbit (green ellipse) is completely hidden, as seen in picture. While I can still adjust with no problem PeD, in this way I can't adjust easily the Ej Orientation, as performed in Flytandem tutorial...

Hello, I'd like to know the meaning of the iV component in IMFD Course Enroute info. This because it's always there as a non zero value, even if I finished the burn (Burn Vector Total dV=0). In the full manual, is described as inward component, but this should be already included in BV.

As an absolute fan of Frank Herbert's Dune volumes, I wonder why I watched the Dune miniseries only recently. I found them a little masterpiece and far better than the 1984 Flash Gordon-recycled David Lynch's Dune. Since it passed something like almost 30 years since I read the whole saga, I...

Hello, I have a question about the Surface Launch program of IMFD. Scenario: XR-5 Ready for takeoff to the ISS (target changed to moon). Guideline: IMFD Full Manual, page 93, Tutorial #2—Mars to Phobos I activated the Surface Launch program, and following the tutorial, I waited until EIn was...

Conspiracies fans can have a rest: Jerusalem UFO (seen in January 2011) was an hoax: here the proof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cHOc35nmUDk

I reached successfully Mars with a UCGO Arrow Freighter + docked XR-2, I undocked and tried a re-entry with Aerobrake MFD, but at Olympus arrival I was too fast (1000m/s +). I had a second try, but this time I just burned retrograde until I almost stopped, and enabled the auto-land feature of...

In 1976, when still I was a child, I naively believed that in 2001 we would have really been in resident space stations / cities and we would have have populated satellites and planets, just like in the Kubrick's film. I'm afraid that we'll have to wait quite a lot for that. In anyway, here some...
