Why not reach out and touch the buttons? :) https://www.leapmotion.com/ ---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ---------- I have been experimenting a bit with UE4 and my Vive headset, and have made a few simple cockpits in VR with interactive buttons. This...

And where is that? I have not found any info related to copyright, which is why I asked.

What is the licensing for the texture packs? I didn't see any mention of this on the download site. Are we free to use them in other projects?

It's a bit on the big side though.. I will check it out and see..

Could anyone recommend a (somewhat realistic) spaceship which I could use for a manned mission to Saturn? It would be great to use a ship where I can have a small lander craft docked, to perform landings with. I've practiced some lunar missions, a little space station construction in LEO, and...

You might want to print out some diagrams showing basic orbital mechanics, such as plane changes and altering your periapsis/apoapsis. These are a mystery (and quite interesting) if you don't already know them...

Unrealistic, because the space shuttle flies in it... If you dont get the joke, just dont comment. ---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ---------- Another demotivator, at least for the Americans...

Intriguing :) There is no hurry, I can borrow some textures from the orbiter default ships in the meantime.. I'm not about to release an addon any time soon. But knowing the licence info for the supplied textures would be nice.

Worked fine in 2010p1 for me.. Would it be possible to release the ADI instrument as a general MFD; cos it's totally awesome :)

Thanks for pointing that out! It is not at all obvious from looking through the code that the 2 and 3 refer to mesh groups, they just look like magic numbers. A comment above it would probably help. In this case, deleting the code is fine as I am not intending to enter any atmospheres if I can...

Here's an easy challenge: Take a screenshot from lunar orbit showing the Earth rising over the lunar horizon, and the sun rising over Earth at the same time, like in the famous scene from the movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey". There is certainly room for improvement on my alignment..

I've just started working with the SDK and meshes. I've got ShuttlePB.dll compiled and running. If I use the shuttlePB.dll it works ok. But as soon as I switch the mesh to my own custom mesh (a sphere with a material) then Orbiter crashes after loading. Below is the mesh I am using (exported...

Actually I've been doing a bit of reading about how Cassini navigates, and it's position/trajectory is much more accurately known than, say, Titan's orbit. Probably due to doppler effects in the telemetry and so on, but this means that when approaching for a flyby, Cassini is using radar ranging...

I'm thinking about creating some simple vessels. But my art skills are minimal. Are there any free 2d panel textures (switches, indicator lights) or 3d models which could be rendered to 2d? Is it possible to use those from the default orbiter vessels in creating my own panel?

Can star tracking be used for more than determining attitude? It's not going to tell you your orbital elements I guess. Any suggestions for how these might be determined without ground support (say for a mission to the outer planets, or interstellar flight)?

The MFDs supply the exact orbital elements for my spacecraft, but this doesn't seem very realistic to me, especially when I'm not in Earth orbit (with the advantages of the gps system). I know the Apollo astronauts took star sightings with a sextant, and had radar altimeters to verify the...

I'm trying to use DeepStar2.0 now, and it seems nice. At least I can dock craft to it easily. But when I try to use the lander I can't seem to get any thrust, the RCS is stuck in OFF, and when I press numpad+ for the main engine, I can see the display change to show Main Eng at 100%, but no fuel...

I've been busy so far with trips to the moon, Mars, and a little space station construction. Now I feel its time for a Grand Voyage to Jupiter space to explore its moons. Can you recommend a good addon vessel for doing this? I'd like it to be somewhat realistic (no warp drives etc), and be able...

You can change the date of the simuation in the scenario editor. It's faster to advance time by a few months than waiting at maximum time warp
