OHM SlaveMFD

[Castor]

SlaveMFD not able to select AttitudeMFD. Will not include it in the selection list.

That's strange. I have been able to use Attitude MFD with Slave MFD.

There's nothing in the MFD selection code which would specifically target AttitudeMFD. If there is a bug, it probably has to do with the overall number and order of MFDs you have. Could you try enabling/disabling MFD DLLs in launchpad and seeing what happens? Also, could you list all non-stock MFDs you are using?

I unchecked all the non-stock .dlls, then checked only attutudeMFD, no change. Slept on it. Started Orbiter, now, it is able to pick attitudeMFD, don't know why.

But, when I try to use the AttitudeMFD, (ex. Velocity(hold)) the ship I'm in is the one that moves. Also, if I uncheck SlaveMFD from the launchpad and run the scenario again, (not the saved-state), when I go through the MFD list, SlaveMFD is still there, however selecting it crashes Orbiter (expected). When I restart the scenario, SlaveMFD is no longer in the MFD list.

Hope I was clear.

Looks like AttitudeMFD expects that the vessel it is attached to is the vessel in focus... The sources are available fortunately, so I will put debugging this on my to-do list.

AttitudeMFD already has a remote function: you can enter a target ship and AttitudeMFD will take control of it.

Could you elaberate? It does not work for me.

Actually I took AttitudeMFD for [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5866"]PursuitMFD[/ame] which is a more recent MFD that does the same thing. Sorry for that.

 

[Donamy]

Doh !!:facepalm:

I was not able to get a grasp of pursuit. You say it does the same operations ?

 

[SolarLiner]

Yes, it has the default Velocity and Attitude mode, but is features a new station keeping mode and even a landing mode. And you can target a remote ship and do the stuff for him.

:hmm: I'll take a look. Thanks

Hey it works ! Now, how would I use it, to remotely fly the dragon, from 100m below the ISS to 10m, below the Harmony for SSRMS grapple ?

The UAPMFD doesn't work either. Even though the name in the lower right says Cygnus, the UAPMFD still says "In Cupola"

Yep, you are right.

Have you tried Rcontrol? It is included with Orbiter and allows you to control a vessel that is not the focus vessel.

 

[Donamy]

Yes, but that is being used by the SSRMSD and can't do it automatically. More RL IMHO
