    Gaming Codemasters F1 Multiplayer discussion

    Well, I saw the title and expected the Codemaster's game. 3 races left though, yeah. I'd probably wait 'till Melbourne.

    Flight Question Europa not in expected position

    I was flying a typical mission to the Jovian system with the Arrow. Once I had arrived at Jupiter and aligned with Europa, I had UAP automatically do a Hohmann transfer over to the moon. The problem is, the MFD is on target, but the moon itself is extremely far off of where it ought to be, I...

    Speaking of unpowered landings....

    I hit the same milestone TMac did just a few minutes ago. I brought back an XR5 safely back home to Wideawake from my station at 262km without firing my engines once on the decent, touching down at a somewhat jarring (but well within safety parameters) 6.5 m/s. I promptly allowed myself a moment...

    Scenario Proton K and Zvezda - Scenario Crashing after Final Separation

    Good afternoon everyone, me again. I decided to redesign my Trinity Station, and as part of it, I'm launching Zvezda up to RV with the now assembled core and Zarya. However, I'm encountering a problem. After the third stage, I get about 1-15 seconds of free-flight before CTD. I've removed...

    Project Project VENEVSYS

    As I was driving around town today, pondering about planning a Venusian station, I realized I wanted to do some EVA on the planetary surface. However, me being the stubborn total immersionist I am. I did not want to use the basic UMMU suit, as I feel it wouldn't be about to take 92 ATMs of...

    Question Suggestion for a comic panel: Probe Marines

    Some of you here may or may not be familiar with Warhammer 40,000, but just before I went to bed last night, I had an idea. Recently, I've gotten back into sketching. I am still at a beginner level, but I've drastically improved from what I used to do. After reading Mojoey's latest blog entry...

    Flight Question Countering drift from (possibly) unbalanced CoG

    So, I'm trying to fly a mission to Mars with the James Cook, attached on Port 1 is a DG-IV, Port 3 has an Antares LR capsule, and Port 7 has an XR5 attached. My problem here is that when I do the TMI burn using AB, the RCS is unable to sufficiently position the ship (possibly due to CoG shift)...

    OF TeamSpeak 3 Server

    With my escapades in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, I thought we could use a TS3 server to chat amongst ourselves. I'm strapped for cash, so it will be hosted locally from my machine whenever I'm online (assuming I remember :lol:) Right now it's only got a few rooms up, but more will be added...

    BA Newsletter #2 (dated 3/12/2048)

    Authors Note: I don't usually follow a standardized time schedule for my missions, whenever an idea pops in, I fly it, regardless of the timeframe, expect some entries (like this one) to be dated far into the future(Breto Aerospace's "present time" is in the year 2040.) NOW TO THE NEWS! Hey-o...

    Personal VSA: Breto Aerospace Reveal

    Been hearing that telltale rumble of rocket launches near Wideawake International lately, well, you're not in fact, crazy! (or maybe you are, in which case, your train to Narnia is leaving in two minutes! Better hurry!) Well-known electronic R&D company Double Helix has decided to expand their...

    General Question IMFD - MJD to GET conversion?

    I've recently taken to using Arrowstar's TOT, and I've hit a bit of a snag. My proficiency is in IMFD, not Trans X, but I don't know how (or if) there is a conversion from MJD to the GET that IMFD uses. Is there one, or am I going to have to learn Trans X?

    Question Interplanetary MFD-"Cannot Display for this MJD" fluctuations.

    Hey everyone, recently I've started using IMFD for my transfers because I'm lazy and like autopilots. However, I notice that the MFD starts to fluxuate between a message of "Cannot display for this MJD" and the normal display. This totally screws up my transfers and sometimes my flights when the...

    Gaming Calling all nerds: What tabletops do you play?

    In actuality I only play one, but I was curious to see who does, and if we can potentially organize a few games on the web. For myself, I only play Vampire: The Masquerade at this time. The old group I used to play with on the web disbanded, so I act as the Storyteller for a local group.

    Question Any musicians up in Orbit?

    I was writing out some tunes today, and I wondered how many of us are there up here? I'll kick it off with my own musical experience: Primarily, I have played tenor saxophone for about 3 and a half years for my school, first in the symphonic band, and now two years in the jazz band. I do own...

    Scenario Loading - Scenario crashes when loading "./Textures/cockpit.dds"

    Working around with some more scenarios, I seem to come into a problem where, whenever I try to load a specific scenario, it starts crashing Orbiter without a logged cause in Orbiter.log. The only things existing in the Scenario are: an XR5, an XR5 container, aand a few parts from OFSS (since...

    Vessel "OFSS-HabitatModule5" not appearing in scenario

    Hey guys, I was fiddling around with a scenario for my VSA, and I needed a hab module with multiple ports to facilitate a station arm. Since I had the OFSS installed, I decided to use parts from that, as they already had the scripting to make it compatible with the XR5. When I tried to directly...

    Scenario XR5 "Hops" into the air on throttle-up.

    Hey everyone, I seem to be having some sort of odd problem. I'm making some scenarios for a station I'm building, and it seems I have a problem. The XR5 in question starts in one of the large "for rent" hangars in Wideawake. When I add some thrust to taxi out of the Hangar, the XR5 hops into...

    Question Armory Wars system - are those ideas feasible Orbiter-wise?

    I really would like to start working on a project where I reconstruct two things: 1. A few of the 78 planets detailed in Claudio Sanchez's Amory Wars. 2. A particular "starter" craft called the Grail Arbor which is used by one of the protagonists, Inferno, as a moving base of operations for...

    Flight Question Nose Wheel Turning?

    I seem to have run into a problem here. I'm trying to taxi an XR5 out of a hangar at Wideawake, but no matter what controls I try, it doesn't rotate for anything, even with Hielor's NoseWheelTurn. Any suggestions?
