When these vehicles undock, they interpenetrate instead of moving away, and I can't figure out how to fix it. Parent vehicle dock list: BEGIN_DOCKLIST 0 0 -4.046 0 0 1 0 1 0 588 ; aft attach point for booster 0 in cfg 1 in sim 0 0 5.29 0 0 -1 0 1 0 588 ; visiting vehicle docking port 1...

I am working on a project that would benefit from virtual prototyping in Orbiter, and I don't have the programming skills to develop the needed addons. I have the models (and an excellent modeler), the scenarios I want to simulate, but not the programming part. If I were to approach someone...

I'm part of a volunteer grassroots effort to fly an unmanned prospecting mission to the lunar north pole. I am putting together a video to publicize the mission, but I'm not a programmer or a graphics artist. I'd like to develop a improved Orbiter scenario (over my own version) to illustrate...

How are the TLI payload capacities calculated for launch vehicles? I did find a reference for the Falcon 9 that stated it could throw 1,973kg into a TLI. I haven't found any numbers for the Heavy at all. I've seen references to C3 in SpaceX's performance tables for the Falcon 9, but I don't...

I'd like to see the fairing halves actually separate and fall away for a video clip. The scenario I'm running didn't show that for a while, then suddenly it started showing the fairing halves as they fell away. Now, the scenario doesn't show them anymore. How to I control this? JR

I would like to set a station in a stable orbit on the Earth-Moon L1 Lagrange point. A halo orbit around that point is supposed to be stable. How do I calculate the orbit and place something into it? I do have the Lagrange MFDs, but they don't seem to have that capability. JR

I have two spacecraft, an orbiter and a lunar lander, that launch as a stacked payload on a single booster. During launch, the stack is defined in the booster's ini file as a single mesh. When the payload is jettisoned from the second stage, the meshes change to two separate spacecraft, and the...

The LOLA 2010 version autopilot seems to go into an abort mode about 30 seconds before touchdown. I desperately need either a fix, a workaround, or some other MFD to use. I am using a custom designed base near the lunar north pole, with a custom designed lunar lander. Thanks, JR
