Luna1.3wLaunchpad does not work... The gantry doesn't move, the base has no texture and the platform is right in the middle of the crawlerway.

Good luck with that. It will be a lot of work, and I bet you will get into license troubles for your daring to give people something for free. Not worth the effort IMHO.

Instead of going from scratch, perhaps it would be a better approach to talk with the SSU guys and use their already open-sourced material to get started. This way it would be harder for someone to show up and bitch about how you've violated some license and how your work is illegal. Of course SSU is GPL'ed, which makes it a target already, but the more people are involved, the better the legal standing against trolls.

Yes, that one. I took the ISS to Saturn with it (w/ IEAT MFD)

The Orbiter MiniBar still works; ready for the next hundred years to come.

Launch MFD - v. 1.6.4 for Orbiter 2010

Launch MFD - v. 1.6.4 for Orbiter 2010

lists

ModuleMessagingExt for Orbiter 2016

ModuleMessagingExt for Orbiter 2016

as required.
Since on OH we also have the "old" ModuleMessagingExt (for 2010-P1), is this just a typo, is it a limitation of current OH platform, are they interchangeable...or what?

Is this a gag MFD? It always calls me an alkie.

Ah right. I didn't think of that. Thanks!
Actually MMExt is no problem and yes, they are interchangeable, but HUDDrawer SDK isn't

[JonnyBGoode]

DG-EX still works. Though it's still a beast to get into orbit!



One issue: It starts off in the bushes to the west of the runway. Change the position in the .scn file to this:

POS -80.6824940 28.5967940

and it will work. (Note: The DG in the "Delta-glider > Virtual cockpit" scenario starts off in the same position; you can use the same fix!)

For me the MFD's updated for Orbiter 2016 are imcompatible with it. I installed burn time calculator, tranx 2016, base sync and whenever I press select on an MFD these don't show up. Can somebody help me?

So it's only partially working correctly.

For example: selecting an evacuated UMmu from the XR2 results in a CTD.

I have the same issues.

Make sure you have them selected in the [Modules] tab one the startup screen?

Sorry for the delay (RL).. but I'll fix up BaseSync, Glideslope, MMExt, RV Orientation this weekend, with "for Orbiter 2016" versions.

Well, you should never become smith if you are afraid of the heat.

I have no problem with GPL trolls. I can ignore them in general and sue them into a life of poverty in special when they just call for breaking the license of SSU or do actually so.

There is just one annoying thing. Right now, we never needed to care about the real names of our contributors. Should we ever need to sue somebody, we need to do it in the name of all involved contributors... or become a legal entity (Like an association)

Also, we absolutely encourage forking our code, as long as you respect our license. After all, if you take our code, we also want to be able to take your code, if we like it.
