OHM TransX 2018.05.06 MMExt2 for Orbiter 2016

[OrbitHangar]

Author: enjo

TransX is a flexible planning and navigation tool for interplanetary transfers and orbital operations.

This package replaces the stock TransX.dll. It contains bugfixes and new features.

Update:
Linking VC++ dynamically now

New features:

A) Modul e Messaging Ext SDK utilisation for communicating with Launch MFD and BurnTimeC alcMFD (BTC)

B) Auto-Center™ (Target View's crosshair auto centering):
The Manoeuvre mode now has a new variable: Auto-Center. Switch it on to automatically center the crosshair and switch it off in the Manoeuvre mode to disable it. 

C) The hypotetical line of nodes, which results from changing plane velocity, is now drawn as a dashed grey line, while the solid line is the reference line of nodes between source and target bodies.

D) Auto-Min™ (Closest Approach minimization):
Serves as automatic solution finder

E) Displaying Hohmann DV, Total Hypo DV, Time Of Flight in Eject View and Circ Delta in Encounter View (together with dgatsoulis)

Requires: 
Modul eMes sagingExt
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable

It used to be... "TransX, it doesn't make coffee."
Now it is... "TransX, how would you like your coffee?"

Thank you very much for all the hard work you 've put into this Enjo!

Setting up plans and comparing them has never been faster or easier! :thumbup:

 

[Ripley]

Great job! Thanks a lot.

 

[malisle]

:hesaid:

 

[Enjo]

Thanks for all the kind words, for testing, and dgat: for helping me realize that all the integration tasks were just a walk in the park :tiphat:

 

[Interceptor]

Thanks Enjo,dgat,and,Ripley

 

[Ripley]

Me? Nooo!
It's The Probe!

If any, the only merit I have is this question to blixel.

After his answer, dgatsoulis published his version on OH, on Nov. 28th.
Maybe it was just laying "forgotten" somewhere on his HD.

The rest...is history!

 

[n122vu]

Sweet. Just in time for my return to Orcus Patera from Phobos. Going to land & resupply then rendezvous with the Arrow for TEI. Will let you know if I see any issues.

Thanks so much to all of you for your work on this!

 

[Enjo]

If anybody is interested how the Auto-Min works behind the scenes, here's my blog entry about it.

 

[Enjo]

Update:
Removed original bottlenecks of TransX, which were leading to frame rate drop and slower reactions while using Auto-Min in "passive mode" (modifying Ej.Date)

 

[AAC-1667]

Thank's a lot!

 

[Furet]

I won't be able to try this new version before the next week, but thank you so much to all the involved ones for continuing the improvement of this fantastic tool.

 

[JSwift]

Another big thank you to all involved in the TransX development efforts. The new features and additional data readouts are very good.

And Dimitris - I like your colour choice for TransX2, the "evil twin"

 

[Interceptor]

Cool,thank you Enjo,and,Dimitris,TransX just keeps getting better,and,better.

 

[blixel]

New Auto-Center feature works great! I like that you changed the Auto-Center ship orientation to the traditional prograde position.

 

[Enjo]

Nice tribute blixel! Thanks!
Another technique, that didn't get into the README is the following, proposed by dgatsoulis, and slightly modified by me:

Set the burn ~1 m/s "short" with BurnTimeCalcMFD (BTC), wait for Auto-Center to converge, disable it and finish with linear translation.

 

[Matias Saibene]

Although I can not use it (due to my limited intelligence), I think because of its complexity and where I've seen their operation (in Orbiter videos on youtube for example) is an excellent add-on, and is fundamental to make Orbiter a realistic simulator.

Great job.

Orbiter isn't loading the module here.

In orbiter.log I found the line:

Weird. I've found this.

 

[sorindafabico]

Weird. I've found this.

The transx.dll dependencies are msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll (both files are in plugin folder), orbiter.exe (of course) and kernel32.dll.

I tried an orbiter clean install, but it didn't work too.
