They are in release mode... I reattach the modules here to be sure completely but if they don't work this time it becomes a new mistery...

Those worked, so it may be an install issue.

nope,
Code:
[ALT]+[B] = Toggle All Beacons
[CTRL]+[L] = Toggle Next Light Emitter
Ctrl+L cycles through light emitters, while alt+b toggle all beacons. That's because I think that beacons are usually lit all at once, while lights can have the needing of being lit separately. To make a command for each light was messy, so (for now) the option is to cycle through them using CTRL+L.

I have actually a plan that when everything works I'll add a (very simple) MFD that will give the opportunity to do basically what the keyboard keys do now, so user will be able to switch lights, beacons, animations, cameras etc using the mfd.


Personally, I would love to have it connected to a switch, or button animation. The same for things like nose cone and hatch opening.

I know, but that would mean to implement stuff like VC switches or buttons, which for a general module could become a sort of a nightmare and I would like not to do it at least now, because I want everything to be clean and work. I prefer that a multiconfiguration vessel spawns it's service module correctly, applies all the thrusters properly etc, the VC switches will come in the future.
Anyway this should be almost solve through the MFD (that was the solution I thought): with that you will be able to turn on or off a single light for example.
I plan to have a very simple MFD, so once everything works (which seems to me we are really close to get there) it will be a matter of a couple of days for implementing it

Oh, I'm not complaining. Just a suggestion. I'm a very happy camper.

Well, whatever was my previous problem seems to have vanished with a fresh installation. I'm still amazed by how much you can do with VB. Really liking the ability to trigger events. This is going to be one of the best addons of all time for addon developers.

Hi Fred18, just wanted to say what a pleasure it is to be able to make changes in realtime ingame (like during reentry); a huge extension for Orbiter, also educationally.

Since last update:
FollowMe Cam: Now I can see the crosshair, moves with pitch, yaw, roll, cam and target NOT moving with X,Y,Z anymore!
Super Precision: no CTD anymore, but target disappears!

VB: I'm also getting errors with the control surfaces, IIRC one could set them without ani's in Spacecraft4.
Throwing an error with the last Beacon for reasons I can't decern, cfg. attached.( strange, when loading with STATUS: landed no error?)
Some things in Spacecraft I can't find in VB: TRIM=0.05,CW_Z_POS=0.09,CW_Z_NEG=0.09,CW_X=2.,CW_Y=1.4, WING_EFFECTIVENESS=2.5?
Glass cockpit position, I can set a VC position, when I cycle F8 the glass cockpit snaps to the VC position, haven't seen where I can set a Glass cockpit position.

So it is possible to have a light follow animations? Like a light at the end of a arm or head of an astronaut.

And camera follow animation?

and one more:) Touchdown points based on state. Like in sc3 you can have one set for landing and another for launch?

Oh, I'm not complaining. Just a suggestion. I'm a very happy camper.

:hail:

sure, I was just explaining why I don't think I will do it for now.


Well, whatever was my previous problem seems to have vanished with a fresh installation. I'm still amazed by how much you can do with VB. Really liking the ability to trigger events. This is going to be one of the best addons of all time for addon developers.

Thank you very much! I really hope so!


Hi Fred18, just wanted to say what a pleasure it is to be able to make changes in realtime ingame (like during reentry); a huge extension for Orbiter, also educationally.

Since last update:
FollowMe Cam: Now I can see the crosshair, moves with pitch, yaw, roll, cam and target NOT moving with X,Y,Z anymore!
Super Precision: no CTD anymore, but target disappears!
Hi Buck, to be honest I have a huge doubt because you said that you run Windows XP... The minimum requirement for VB is 8.1. I think that it works also on Win7, but WinXp I really think it's out of date and most of the CTDs and issues are related to that... for example the followme tool issues that you are reporting are just from you, so I guess it's about that.

VB: I'm also getting errors with the control surfaces, IIRC one could set them without ani's in Spacecraft4.

Relevant to Control Surfaces it would be a good point to let them work also without animation so I'll change that.


Throwing an error with the last Beacon for reasons I can't decern, cfg. attached.( strange, when loading with STATUS: landed no error?)
which error? the new system allows to trace errors instead of crashing so if you can provide that I can see if there is a real problem

Some things in Spacecraft I can't find in VB: TRIM=0.05,CW_Z_POS=0.09,CW_Z_NEG=0.09,CW_X=2.,CW_Y=1.4, WING_EFFECTIVENESS=2.5?

Those parameter are part of the old legacy aerodynamic model and were there just for old addons compatibility, so I didn't add that. If you want aerodynamics you should define the airfoils parameters that sums up everything


Glass cockpit position, I can set a VC position, when I cycle F8 the glass cockpit snaps to the VC position, haven't seen where I can set a Glass cockpit position.

The camera section is only about that.

---------- Post added at 14:19 ---------- Previous post was at 14:17 ----------

So it is possible to have a light follow animations? Like a light at the end of a arm or head of an astronaut.

a light can follow an attachment and an attachment can be an arm tip for an animation... In theory is possible then, don't know if it actually will work.

And camera follow animation?
nope

and one more:) Touchdown points based on state. Like in sc3 you can have one set for landing and another for launch?


you can either use the SET1-SET2 change over, or just reconfigure them with a reconfiguration event

Thanks for your answers.
As said I can see no reason for the error, occurs with both my test .cfg, but not with the STATUS: landed:
VBVector Exception... struct beacons_def idx:7 size:7 ver:190403 (same .cfg as above)
Sorry, turns out to be a red herring: I had a wrong entry in my .scn file, so this one is solved.

As for backward compatability, I understand that it's probably not a priority, although I would argue that with Orbiter possibly more so than with other software, but not a point I wish to push, I'm happy with what comes out (a little saddenned because of the XR series though). But I think the graphic issue may have to do with the inline graphic client, but I'm also happy to wait and see if others have similar issues.

Another issue that persists: changeover ani still not being saved properly, .cfg looks good, ani=0, when I open VB the changeover ani window is empty and the TDP SET2 aren't recognised til I reselect the ani.

Otherwise everything's looking great, the events demo looks very interesting and I'm very curious to see the soft docking, even having some success myself. Something I touched on before; I was thinking of having seperate configs so that engines aren't active when eng. doors are closed, there are 2 sets of doors, main and hover, and cut 4 of the main eng. for an OMS, that would mean multiple copies of both thruster and thruster group entries with very few changes (like 6 or more! with curr. 28 thrusters), would there be another way to do it?

P.S. TDP SET2: Demo DG works fine, only difference I can see is mine is ani=0, on the DG it's ani=5, both test .cfgs display this behaviour.
Or DEFSTATE, IIRC there was something about landing gear being down in normal state, that said I'm translating from Spacecraft4 and it works there.

Hello Fred :tiphat:

I just start studying / using VB.

For that I use the mesh of my DC6 of Tintin. (there are many animated pieces)
It is just for me the begining : I'm just starting ....

3ks1.jpg


But I'm stuck... So I already have a first question (can be stupid but I have not found the solution)

How the propellers of an airplane can be rotated according to the engine speed (in fact according to the value of the "THRUST")

With Vinka's Spacecraft4 it was like this :

[CONFIG]
MESHNAME=Tintin\DC-6
SIZE=35
EMPTY_MASS=22055
FUEL_MASS=10000
MAIN_THRUST=80000
MAIN_THRUST_ANIM=13
MAIN_THRUST_ANIM_SPEED=6
(etc)

and in Vinka's doc : (extract)

MAIN_THRUST_ANIM= -1 : if you want to associate an animation with the value of main thrust
(animation value [0,1] is directly associated to main thrust level [0,1] )
.

MAIN_THRUST_ANIM_SPEED=-1 : if you want to associate an animation with the
value of main thrust : animation value is calculated with a rate of change based on the
thrust level. At thrust level 0, the rate is null and the animation value does not changed, at
thrust level 1, the animation sequence will be played from 0 to 1 in the specified duration
for the animation (maximum frequency) and repeated again.

This mode is useful to animate a propeller for example.

Ist it possible to make this with VB ??

Hi jacques,
I remember that function in SC4, but it was a Vinka's idea, it's not something that the orbiter core usually does, so for the time being it is not implemented in VB. you can create an animation of the propeller but it is either going or stop, it's speed is not variable. I may add something like this for the final version, I'll see how difficult it is to impelment, even though the unique use that I can see for this is relevant to propellers, I can't see any other usage

Yes : rotating wheels while moving forward p.ex :lol:

And... I understand what you mean.

May be tomorow I'll have an other question...:tiphat:

I had to pause VB a couple of days because my wife asked me a small software for her new job, I couldn't say no, but it's almost done :lol:

I am supposed and just set the first lines, but if anyone is willing to do it I would be super happy!!! VB is a lot of work, I had to pause a couple of days but I'm going to resume it tonight or tomorrow, and besides programming there is the documentation that would dramatically help its usage and I can't make everything together, so it would take time.

If anyone is willing to help please come forward, I'd be happy to guide in details where there are doubts!

I would be willing to help someone, who has done other Orbiter tutorials. With the little knowledge I have with VB, but I'm learning.

you got me there, I realized yesterady that it's missing... next thing to be added.

Anyway I'd like to promote the use of dockings or "jettisonable docks", since they have the huge advantage that docks use proper physics, while attachment do not. Jettisonable docks are something new but I deem them interesting. for those who are not accustomed: jettisonable docks are docking ports that supports just one positive docking event, it means: you con dock to them once, but when you undock they will be deleted and not available anymore.
