I really enjoyed this thread. One interest I have had lately is if I learned to use GMAT well enough, could I use it as a navigational tool for planning missions in Orbiter, and get the data "back into" one of the simple Delta Velocity programs. I was trying to fly BrianJ's excellent LADEE...

Just had 2 CTD's with the stock Atlantis, one when using the new Launch Autopilot - between SRB sep and MECO - and one on a manual launch - after ET sep. Here's a log - **** Orbiter.log 000000.000: Build Mar 7 2015 [v.150307] 000000.000: Timer precision: 2.99603e-007 sec 000000.000: Found 3...

I downloaded all of the massive multi-GB texture packs (120GB unzipped!) I am having issues with a "shimmering" type texture corruption on any textures >L9. I uploaded some .pngs tohttp://imgur.com/a/RAbQe, with all the "Planetary effects" turned off to just show the texture with no...

Edit: Typed this post on the wrong thread. Sorry :(

I've been going through the scenarios for the Beta, and it seems like there are some issues with the Dragonfly. In the inline client: -The automatic CG compensation doesn't seem to work -The tracking antennas and doppler distance readouts don't work One thing I noticed looking at the code in...

Certainly with the callback functions for coefficient of lift and coefficient of drag, re-entry aerodynamics could be as complicated as the add-on developer desires (or not).

I'm going to take a crack at this just because I am bored and I have some time. As far as I can tell the strategy used by the "manual" controls on the new Atlantis is that prior to SRB sep, pitch is controlled by the SSME thrust vectors deflecting and roll/yaw are controlled by the SRBs, and...

Is there anything specifically in the Beta that needs testing attention right now?

I live in the middle of the desert (near Edwards AFB) and I can only download 40GB/month. I think there are a lot of people who either have limitations on their total GBs OR slow service in rural areas around the world. So it's important in my mind to have a basic working version somewhere in...

I was just trying to get your Voyager through the Grand Tour this weekend - an exercise in patience for even an experienced Orbiteer with the limited DeltaV. I also installed Orbiter, Project X-15 & X-15 Delta on a computer at the Saxon Aerospace Museum (http://www.saxonaerospacemuseum.com/) in...

Is there a way this could be extended to work with multistage vessels, specifically Velcro Rockets type vessels? I have tried creating APs on all stages and hitting 'GO' on the 2nd stage right after staging, but I get a 'Lost - going blind' error. Perhaps a 'WAIT' button that allows the AP on...

I just tried RC33 on 100830 for the first time and...it's awesome! I've really struggled with the performance issues in Vista and Windows 7 with the stock built-in DX7 client, mostly because of GDI.... I hope more add-on authors embrace the DX9 client like the XRx series have, because it's...

I experimented with making an NSIS-based installer for Orbiter at one point, with the intention of expanding it to incorporate add-on installation once I could talk to a few add-on authors and secure permission. The nice thing about the installer I made was that it was only 500KB - it goes out...

If you want some more detailed textures for the Voyager model, I can go take some pictures of the Voyager flight spare on display in Von Karmen Auditorium at JPL.

I believe comms have terminated until Odyssey makes another pass in an hour and a half. All of the required operations for the 'set-up' post landing are on an automated sequence. Which means in an hour and a half we should see photos of deployed solar panels, biobarrier, etc. I was around...

Thanks! (Although I had no involvement with Phoenix) I have coworkers who worked on the biobarrier and arm, so I have to wait for the first set of pictures to confirm the biobarrier deployment before I congratulate anyone. BTW - love the new forums.
