    General Question White Box with "PreStep->" etc.

    Hi, I have just started using 2010 and I am getting a small white box in the bottom right hand corner of my screen saying "PreStep->" with some parameters. Looks like some kind of debugging box that I may have enabled! Any idea how to disable? Have searched and nothing turns up. Thanks...

    Question Multistage Guidance with Velcro Rockets?

    A little hobby of mine was working out rough launch trajectories and using multistage's configurable guidance (pitch and roll over time) to implement them... a nerd thing!!! Very satisfying when it worked! Tx for the replies.

    MFD Camera MFD in 2D

    Would be great to have a version of Camera MFD available in 2D screens... as has been mentioned here elsewhere, you could use that along with some other external MFDs and Remote Control to have a virtual mission control for unmanned missions... would be great for the immersion factor! :thumbup:

    Hello again

    First messed with Orbiter around July 2003 I think. Spent a lot of time around 2005-2008 with Orbiter (including many weekends trying to get old versions of AutoFCS working, good to see some things never change LOL) and coming back now and hoping to dig up my old college memories of C++ to do...

    Question Multistage Guidance with Velcro Rockets?

    Hi, Just a quick query... does anybody know a way to get the Multistage.dll's guidance.txt to work with Velcro rockets? I know there is guidance with Velcro but I am trying to use mutlistage's configurable guidance.txt for my own trajectories. Tx! BL

    New Orbiter

    Software development by hobbyists is a little different to software development in a commercial/development house: more freedom to change scope and requirements, work, waxing and waning enthusiasm, other hobbies and interests, simply choosing to spend more time with family, etc. etc. throws the...

    Orulex 1.1 Testing request

    Thanks folks. Meshland is actally working great for me on the moon, can land on the Sea of Tranquility without any problem. Does Orulex take into account landing on flat areas of the moon? Great add on! Thanks so much for all the long hours of hard work that must have gone into it!

    Orulex 1.1 Testing request

    Hi I have been doing some more work on this - it seems the surface of the moon is actually below the landscape that Orulex draws - when I fly upwards for a few kms I pass through the Orulex "surface" and everything looks great. Is there a problem with the heightmap maybe? Thanks!

    Hey, YOU'RE the one helping US :-) Yes it did, and pressing NUMPAD was definitely the cause of the problem. If it doesn't cause you a problem maybe you're keyboard is configured differently?

    "From the Earth to The Moon" an AMSO 1.17 Apollo 11 Full Mission Tutorial Using IMFD

    Hi thanks for the response. I am using 5.1j; have not pressed AB; no other burns setup. On attaining orbit using the AMSO AP I open IMFD, go straight to Config menu in IMFD and as soon as I press return after entering 0 for this value the throttle goes to 100%. I even checked to make sure the...

    Ascent trayectory

    There is also a Flight Recorder MFD which might help with formatting of data, etc. How do they do it in RL, does anybody know? Compute the desired state vectors at Orbit Insertion point and "fly towards them"?
