OHM TimeJumpMFD

[OrbitHangar]

This MFD lets you choose an date to jump to, so you don't have to wait with time acceleration. It keeps all ships in the same orbital path, making it a good tool for long trips.

finally, the add-on needed when building space stations using hystorical data!!
thanks a lot!

You could just use the Scenario Editor instead. But I certainly see the appeal in using the MFD, not for station buildind though

I dimly recall there might be a TARDIS add-on. This MFD seems required equipment for you Time Lords out there...

I made it 'cos I got annoyed with going in and out of Scn Editor to warp time.

Btw, does anyone know how to convert standard time to MJD? I'd like to put that into the MFD too.

Have a look at the Scenario Editor code (Convert.cpp - date2mjd function).

Here's another way...

Look in Orbiter\Utils at the little Date.exe program. Input date and time, and out pops your MJD. I use it all the time when setting up scenarios, without having to run Orbiter and then open Scenario Editor.

Edit: Whoops, my answer's no good for you, since I now see that you're interested in coding this into your MFD, but what I said might be interesting to others. I should know better than to post at bedtime.

Thank you, that worked great. There's also a function for MJD to date, that's a very useful piece of code.

A much improved version is now on OrbitHangar.

New Stuff:

-You can enter the date in DD/MM/YY form.
-You can change the pmode/type of Time Travel.
-There's a cheesy sci fi sound when you press the JMP button (Don't worry, you can turn it off, or change it).
