Everything is ok. The problem is that Orbit MFD can only calculate a 2-body solution. When you are on the ground, you are "attached" to Earth. If you reference the sun in Orbit MFD while on Earth's surface, you are seeing the correct ApA and PeA for Earth - and your vessel as well, since your...

This was put out almost 1 month ago, so many of you will have already seen it. But I looked through the last 2 pages here, and it hasn't been posted in this thread. Very cool! Watch it. You'll love it.

Thanks dgats. If you hadn't spent so much time chatting with me via Skype, I never would have figured it out. Once I understood it, I really wanted to record the process so I wouldn't forget it myself. I would also like to point to this document I've been working on which outlines the process...

It's fine the way it is. People just have to remember to shut off Auto-Center after the burn is complete. No big deal. I just wish it didn't completely destroy the flight if you forget. EDIT: Also, I didn't know it would work if you turn Maneuver mode off from inside of Target view. I haven't...

I tried out the new dll several times using a simple Earth to Moon flight I have which is already set up and ready to burn. (I will include the scenario at the bottom.) With this new dll, I'm seeing the same behavior that I demonstrated in the video I made. The new dll seems to work without the...

No, you can't just point the nose at Mars and fly straight there.

There is.

Water that doesn't look and behave like blue concrete.

Bored after just 7 days? :) So you've already mastered rendezvous and docking with the ISS? You've gone to the moon and back? You've launched the Space Shuttle and learned reentry? You've gone to Mars? You've visited the moons of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune? You know how to do...

I'm sure I'd have to place a scumbag hat on myself in that case.

I want to find a power supply for my keyboard. The keyboard operates just fine with the power from the USB port, but if I want to use the USB hub that is built-in to it, it needs an external power supply. The keyboard manufacturer does not seem to provide a power supply, but they do provide the...

Does a controller like this actually exist for simulation (gaming) purposes?

How does that controller work exactly? I assume pressing it to the left moves to the vessel to the left? Right pressure moves it to the right? Are up and down "backwards"? Press up to thrust down and down to thrust up? What about forward and backward translation? Push in / pull out?

Wow, that would be the ultimate Orbiter controller.

I've seen this happen myself, but I've only noticed it happen when I turn Maneuver mode off before turning Auto-Center off. If you forget to turn Auto-Center off, the Auto-Center feature is still on even though Maneuver mode is off. And there's apparently no way to turn Auto-Center off once...

Yeah, that is true. I already have Origin for other games, so I didn't think about that. It's pretty unobtrusive though. Like Steam, I only have it running when I want to play a game from that library. 99% of the time it isn't running, and they don't force you to make it run automatically at...

For those of you who enjoy playing the occasional video game, you can get the original Dead Space for free at the moment. No catch, just download it and it's yours. The offer may be rescinded at any time, so if interested, I would grab it now. The original Dead Space was an awesome game. I...

I'll second that. I use Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13.0 for light video editing. The UI is very responsive and it's easy to learn. Before Sony Movie Studio, I had Corel Video Studio Pro X5. It was functional, but the UI was unbearably slow. (And I have a very capable system.) But Corel was so...
