:tiphat:Hello, hola, salut, ciao to the orbiter community.

I have a question about the creation of a rocket.
I am trying to create a mini-rocket as in the http://www.estesrockets.com/ site and I can put my rocket at the right position on my map. But how can I set an angle at start?

Thank you for your answers.

Forgive me for being dense... but I don't understand your question.

Are you wanting to put a picture of a rocket on an online map somewhere, or something else...?

An angle? Do you mean a launch azimuth or the direction the rocket faces on the ground? The latter is defined by the touchdown points in Orbiter. An explanation of how is in the API reference document.

Thank you very much Xyon , very good answer. Note the document \Add-on docs\spacecraft.pdf is also helpful.

So I use the LAUNCH_PT1 to rotate the rocket and HEADING to give the direction.

My problem is solved.
