Dear Orbiter Forum Friends: As you all know, I encountered more errors in Multistage2015 than I could possibly address. Given the project's large size, I came up with the following idea: Rebuild all of Multistage from scratch. That is, discard the original Multistage2015 code, even with the...

As you may know, we're working on converting the Lua Sikorsky R-4 helicopter to C++ to add UACS support. The first step was converting every line of Lua programming to C++. And now we're running into the problem: the mesh won't load. I've tested it on my Windows 11 + OpenOrbiter2024...

Hello friends of Orbiter-Forum As is public knowledge, the XR2 mesh currently has some copyright issues because the author mysteriously disappeared. It is because of this situation that, for example, in Orbiter Linux, we cannot fly the XR2, because the mesh cannot be redistributed. Some forum...

Hello friends of Orbiter-Forum, I bother you again with my endless questions. It turns out that I am programming the Boeing 747SP for Orbiter, and for this I followed the same steps as always: we could say that I copy and paste the code from my previous add-on and adapt it to the new one and...
