ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
I only have the RGB emulation in my 3D device list,
the GTX 770 in my new computer is not recognized, both in 100830 and the newest beta (and the good old 060929).
Always enumerate devices is checked, drivers are up to date, and it works perfectly with the D3D9 client.
The installation process...
Subang ATC has lost contact with flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing,
scheduled to arrive at 06:30 (three hours ago if this is Beijing time):

The plane was enroute at 35000 feet over the Gulf of Thailand according to avherald...
As you can see, long lines in front of the planes to get inside them, to long for me:
Some Luftwaffe stuff. CH-53G, Tornado IDS and Eurofighter:

One post of plane pictures is left, then...
Fat nose :P:

I made a great trip to Cologne yesterday, and I have a lot of picture to share.
I'll post a few on my blog each day.
Of course many former and current Astronauts were there. I saw Hans Schlegel, Thomas Reiter, Reinhold Ewald, Léopold Eyharts, Frank De Winne, Andreas Morgensen and Thomas...

Sadly, I don't have enough time to pre-fly both legs in FSX.
Anyway, here's a shot:
It should be easy to guess via which Airport I'll be travelling today...
It was a rather quick decision to fly to Norway again this year, from Hanover to Bergen, on a ERJ-190...
I'm just trying to create a high resolution Earth texture, using the December image available here as source.
A level 8 texture of the 2km/pixel version was easy.
But as I'd like to create higher resolutions I have to use the 500m/pixel version.
It is 86400 x 43200 pixels in size, splitted into...
Still a lot of work to do, but for those who can't wait to land there, here's a mesh of MSL Curiosity's target, with a scenario of Shuttle-A standing at the targeted landing site at landing day.
Around that position, vessels will stand on the surface of the mesh, so they will not sink through or...
Ok, I've been trying to get this running for a hour, but somehow the Probe doesn't want me to get it working.
I've created a thruster and added it to the main group. As you can see, a fueltank is also created.
But when I try to ignite it, nothing is happening.
I checked the number of thrusters...
I'm just trying to write a little autopilot plugin, and want to switch it on and off by some key (let's say F5), but I just don't get it working.
Here's the code, nothing is happening when I press F5:
#define STRICT
#define ORBITER_MODULE
#include <Orbitersdk.h>
DLLCLBK void...
As I posted in another thread before, having beautiful Shuttle launches with Slat's pads and the default Orbiter 2010 Cape Canaveral is possible with some little changes in two config files.
Ok, lets start.
First you should make sure that you have Orbiter 2010 and Shuttle Fleet for Orbiter...
If you look at some of Igels and Thortons add-ons, you'll see how cool it is to see your launches in Google Earth.
I thought that there needs to be a way to do it with all vessels, so I wrote a little Plugin that does this. Currently it is very simple, all trajectories are simple white paths...
This is what I did wrong, three vectors, but only one is allowed:
SetPMI (_V(3.1,0,0), _V(0,3.42,-0.4), _V(0,-0.4,0.68));
How do I get the three vectors (from shipedit.exe) into the correct format for the SetPMI function? Is it just a simple calculation, like addition of the vectors?
I just ran into a problem while creating the module for my ship.
When I ignite the main engine, it has no thrust, and the touchdown points seem to be deleted, causing the ship to sink. Here's the code:
#define STRICT
#define ORBITER_MODULE
#include <orbitersdk.h>
const double SHIP1_FUELMASS =...
