After careful deliberation, the O-F Staff have decided we...
Hello,
I am having an issue with the font rendering in virtual cockpits when using the 1024x1024 texture resolution setting in Orbiter 2016's MFD parameter configuration menu under the extra tab in the Orbiter launchpad. I have provided my Orbiter.log and D3D9Client.cfg in the event they are...

Heya guys,
I know some of you have expressed some desire to play submarine games, and multiple users have reflected on their time in the Silent Hunter series. A new Cold War submarine game pulled out of dry dock today.
Perhaps in the spirit of Dangerous Waters, this game gives priority to a...
The following is a thread to discuss Xplane's accuracy of simulation compared to other flight simulators, as well as an initial platform for Thorsten to voice his opinion on blade element theory. The context is listed below:

Hello,
I'm using Spacecraft3/4 to create a ShuttleA-esque cargo transporter and am now in the Virtual Cockpit design phase. Recently, I learned how to define mesh points for HUD and MFD placement. My question is: are you able to define more than just two MFDs? If so, what is the syntax...

The King of the Blues has passed away. A few weeks ago, hospice was called in for problems he was having with his diabetes.
RIP BB. You will be missed. :(
Welcome to the HASSESA Industries development thread. Many of you know, through chatbox spamming, that I have been on a development streak. I really enjoy meshing and have had many ideas for projects sent I created my JLEO satellite. As to limit my chatbox spamming, I decided to just create a...

Monty Oum has passed away from a severe allergic reaction during a medical procedure.
Talented guy taken far too soon.
RIP, Monty.
Hello guys.
So, I'm working on a capsule that I'll be coding with spacecraft3. Nothing too fancy, but I was wondering if anyone can give me advice as to how I would go about adding parachutes to my vessel when the time comes?
Is it possible to do it in spacecraft3?
Do I need to just buckle...
Greetings,
As a lot of you know from chatbox "smalltalk" I have been working on a satellite. I'm using Spacecraft3 for the vessel coding. My question is, how do I use the particle streams for my RCS thrusters?
I should note that I'm still tweaking values, etc. What I need to know is...
I promised the guys in the chatbox I'd create a thread with the pictures from my KSC trip last weekend.
A little teaser. :P

Hello,
I have a little project I'm doing that requires the creation of a separate solar system from the default one in orbiter. I know how to create planets and moons etc.
The problem I'm having is creating textures that are higher than level 8. I was wondering if there were any other...
As many of you know, I've been learning how to mesh and texture the mesh in orbiter. I recently figured out how to import my mesh into orbiter and place it near a base.
My question is: how would I go about creating a .cfg file for my mesh, so I can create it as a vessel in orbiter?
I assume...
Fellow Orbinauts,
Welcome to the new Orbiter Magazine Thread. Columbia42 has given me permission to take over this project. The goal of this thread is for the development of the magazine.
I am calling out for writers for the magazine. We already have two people, (not including myself) to...

I go under the knife around 11:30AM EST.
Wish the doctors luck, and pray that this...
