McAfee... I think I trust nigerian princes more than I trust McAfee these days.

I consider McAfee to be malware, every time I see it freeze my work notebook for 15 minutes because I started a Java based application on it.

What is Kine Gattis

Inverse Kinematics are the opposite of Forward Kinematics.

Both are special terms from robotics.

Forward kinematic take the angles of the robots joints and calculates the position and orientation of the end effector.

Inverse kinematics take the position and orientation of the end effector and calculates (in the best case) a set of valid joint angles to get to this position and orientation.

Both is pretty mathematical and can escalate into a lot of C++ code. For example: For making the robots "hand" move along a straight line, the software needs to subdivide the motion into many smaller steps, so you are not noticing that such a robot arm actually can't move in a straight line.

The Canadarm2 and the Dextre are good examples also.

I miss SiameseCat so much.

What mod is that.

What mod is that.

The IDA (International Docking Adapter) is from here:
https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=35320

and the Dragon-2 is the recent mod by BrianJ on OH here: orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=7198 (copy and paste as for some reason any link to O-H seems to bug)


I did the scenario myself with ISS A2Z, ISS US, and many other modules for the ISS.

Attaching the MISSE FF experiments, with the Dextre.

How the MISSE experiments were tranfered to the Base on ELC2.

Cool!

Trying to get my manual skills back after a long hiatus. And... well lets face it, the autopilots on the XRs has made me lazy. So after trying to manually land the shuttle at Edwards (and missing badly), I did manage to make it to White Sands (barely).

As my instructor would say:
A landing is ... ! (you know the rest)

Good job :thumbup:

Orbiter has come a long way since I last got into it with the 2006 version. (Using GemFX)
