    Gassing Downhill, Coasting uphill. A fuel efficiency question.

    :rofl: yes. I already get above average mileage for it. I easily get 18mpg, but never actually did an official fill,drive,fill test to see. Infact, I have never filled her all the way up :(

    Gassing Downhill, Coasting uphill. A fuel efficiency question.

    Just to clarify, I keep it in 2WD unless I'm in the mud or snow/ice, and my tires are stock. I've often considered getting good mud tires but they are too expensive and, as aforementioned, inefficient. Also, it is a manual transmission so switching to neutral is no big deal, and its a 1994, so...

    Gassing Downhill, Coasting uphill. A fuel efficiency question.

    I regularly drive on a route with a lot of medium length, high-grade hills. One day I had the idea that instead of maintaining a constant speed through out the route, it might be more efficient to over-accelerate on the downhill, and coast in neutral on the uphill. Would this technique, in this...

    Your Help Wanted to Name Two of Pluto's Moons

    I voted Cerberus, Styx, and Acheron. Charon, the ferryman, is already a moon of Pluto's, why not have him in the midst of the rivers, or a fellow servant of Hades? I think Hercules should be saved for the first manned voyage to Pluto ;)

    Closed Systems, Entropy, and long duration spaceflight(non-cyrogenic)

    I know that my use of Entropy and closed system is wrong. What I was trying to get at was no resupply operations. As for the problem of psychological integrity, that brings me memories of a movie I saw once, called Pandorum. Pandorum being a psychological illness that caused a captain to go...

    Closed Systems, Entropy, and long duration spaceflight(non-cyrogenic)

    Aside from interstellar radiation, micro-meteors, and other things I know nothing about... plus the fact that we don't have the tech to accomplish the things im about to propose... Is it actually possible to maintain generations of population (with very strict breeding laws of course) during a...

    New player from Kerbal Space program

    Welcome fellow Kerbonaut! Is Jeb still displaying his iron-nerved smile as usual? :lol: Just as everyone else is saying, KSP is alot more simplified, but its still the same basic concepts. And on your attempt to getting to the moon, I did the exact same thing! THAT was a learning...

    General Question Questions from a new developer: Blueprints, Textures, and Spacecraft3

    That was one of my initial concerns, using the more aged VSP3 and it's compatibility with 2010p1. I am unfamiliar with C++, What would be a good program to operate it and where might I find a good tutorial on useing it? Thanks again for all your guy's help. It's very helpful and enlightening...

    General Question Questions from a new developer: Blueprints, Textures, and Spacecraft3

    Is Vinka's SC3 used for coding moving parts? or is that another program? It was my understanding that VSC3 was used, but I can't find anything in ar81's tutorial about that. :shrug:

    General Question Questions from a new developer: Blueprints, Textures, and Spacecraft3

    2. Okay, So you're suggesting I try to make a texture for the entire vessel rather than making texture for the body, wing, window, and so on? 3. So I would need to assign a button for each increment? Is it not possible to code it like trim with larger increments and range of motion?

    General Question Questions from a new developer: Blueprints, Textures, and Spacecraft3

    Hey Guys (and Gals?)! Just had a few starting questions. First off. Blue Prints; Are there any good blue print making programs that any of you have used for making vessels? Iv'e been fighting between making an inaccurate blueprint in Paint, or drawing one by hand. Is there a better way...

    General Question Seeking developing help/mentor.

    Thanks for the seuggestions! One final question before I launch into it. Should I start a single thread to post all my questions ( this one for instance) to avoid flooding the forum, or should I post each question individually/asking groups of questions?

    General Question Seeking developing help/mentor.

    Thanks, I guess your right. I should have known that! Should I divide each of the features up into smaller vessels or should I start on the big project and hack away at it?

I realize that this is alot to undertake as a first project for a newbie to developing/programming, So...

    Hello All, I'm just starting to dip my toes into developing (I'm a complete newbie to orbiter style programming, and programming in general) so this will most likely be the first in a line of questions that may surely drive you crazy. To the point, Iv'e been following Pablo Luna's base...

    Problem Earth has Siderial day greater than Venus?!?

    The Only addon I can think of that would change anything about earths rotation is OMP client. But it didnt mention anything like that. Is it about time for a fresh Orbiter 2010 download? And Where can I find Orbiter 2012? or is rstricted to official beta testers?

    Tonight I noticed while using scenario editor and editing the time, the hour selection had virtually no effect on the terminator on my map. stepping up to days, I found that it took 220 some days to get from sunrise to sunset. Allo, The sun was setting in the east and rising in the west...
