OHM Upsilon Andromedae system

[Pinguinboy]

Hmm... if your hard-drive is still working, you can shove it into another PC. No problems about that, just a little editing to your PC's BIOS. :thumbup:

 

[donatelo200]

I don't know if the hard-drive still works. I doubt it does as i can't turn the computer on. The light will turn green showing it's on but nothing else.

I don't know if the hard-drive still works. I doubt it does as i can't turn the computer on. The light will turn green showing it's on but nothing else.

Then it could be anything from an unplugged wire in the machine to the CPU having melted and fused. There's still a good chance that your hard drive is intact and usable, if you can hook it up to another computer.

 

[donatelo200]

Don't know how to hook my hard-drive to another computer but i was playing around with the orbiter galaxy standalone when my computer had a meltdown. All the external wires are in the right places. I can't check the internal wires as i would probly make things worse.(Will check them later with my dad)

 

[Pinguinboy]

You can find many tutorials on the internet of how you can plug your Harddrive into another PC!

 

[Izack]

Yes, but be careful. If you know anyone trustworthy who can do it, get him/her to do it for you rather than doing it yourself. It's not surgery, but it can get hairy. :hide:

 

[donatelo200]

Great news. I've got all my updates recoverd. Gliese, Xexina Neutron star and Upsilon's updates have all ben recovered! Unfortunatly my main computer after we trie to fix it now give use the black screen of death instead of the blue screen of death.:facepalm: Another problem is that the computer that i'm using to post things at the moment was made in the 90's and can't run orbiter.:blush:

 

[Izack]

Good to hear!

The old computer bit not-so-much, but still better than nothing.

Has anobody an idea how can i get to Ups And d I from Ceres station without TransX? IMFD doesnt work right, it calculates a flight trajectory with horrible dV for a moon, but after shut down of main engine the moon goes out of the flight path, so i have to make a correction burn with 2nd huge dV, but the moon goes out agian, wtf is going on?
I did set "Course" then "target intercept" with Ups And dI, Ups And d as "Ref" and my ship as "Src".
What can i do else?

I tryed a normal orbit coasting too, where i did set a little bit smaller orbit than Ups And dI of my ship around Ups And d, so i got closer and closer, but not close enough that i was catched of gravity of Ups And dI, i was 260000km away, my ship did not set it as orbit reference body for orbit insertion.

 

[donatelo200]

Well my normal computer is fixed. My graphics card it ends up was the problem. Well now that thats solved i have a 1 GB graphics card. (my old one was a 250 MB card) Man my computer will haul when this thing is put in.

Has anobody an idea how can i get to Ups And d I from Ceres station without TransX?

Unfortunatly i don't, but your problems will get worse after the update beacause navigating the system will go from relatively easy to uber hard. Ups and d and c are exteremely incined. (so mutch so it makes me wonder how that happend (real inclination data))

 

[Harvia]

day lenght

Length of Day on, Breathable moon Ups And d I, is 1 678 000 s.

 

[donatelo200]

The atmosphere isn't breathable and the long day/night is due to the fact that it is tidally locked to Ups And d.

 

[donatelo200]

Well today i found the time to really pursue at finishing the update. Progress went well and i'm very close to being able to release it. I have also have corrected the inclinations of the planets. (I forgot to convert degrees to radians before)

Corrected orbits.

Finally updated after 2 years of procrastination. There are quite a few new things which are listed on the add-on page.

 

[Mr Martian]

i love this addon thank you so much for making it, and i was just wondering, in the description it says that you made the ring textures for Ups And d, and i am curious to know how you made your own ring texture, cos ive been trying and i cant do it :blush:

 

[orb]

i am curious to know how you made your own ring texture, cos ive been trying and i cant do it :blush:

A flat ring donatelo200 made was converted to curved that can be used by Orbiter for the provided inner and outer radius of the ring by me. See this thread for details:

• [Project] The Upsilon Andromedae system

 

[Mr Martian]

just wondering, how did u make the texture fore Ups And d I, the earth, like planet??

Looks interesting but I'm having CTDs when loading any of the included scenarios. Here's the log:

Crashes right there. Eventvwr shows the error triggered by orbiter2010\Modules\Server\orbiter.exe Anyone have any clues? Thanx!

-Rick

 

[donatelo200]

See if it works on the default orbiter client. The error may be coming from the D3D9Client as this system pre-dates it.

 

[Rick Schaefer]

Yup. That's the prob. Real bummer. Any plans to update for the D3D9Client? I guess I can toy with this add-on without the D3D9 but D3D9 runs smoother on my system. Thanx for the help!

-Rick

 

[jedidia]

Uhm you know, it might also be that one of the other add-ons you're running are causing the problem with D3D9 client (has anyone actually ever tried orbiter galaxy on D3D9 client? it runs its own D3D9-thread, but I guess there's lots of potential for the two threads to begin a squabble...) :shifty:

Just deactivate all your modules to make sure the problem is actually with Ups-and. Somehow I don't quite see what problems it could cause with D3D9 client...
