Orbiter Main Forum dead again?

[Urwumpe]

Director: It is very simple: If you want a commercial launch vehicle development kit - buy Matlab/Simulink (sorry for the ad
). It can do everything orbiters physics engine can do, but much more accurate and engineering friendly. If you want
more professionalism in the visualization, buy a  STK license.

If you want a commercial Orbiter - write yourself one. Orbiter is Martins pet project, and his free time. While you might be
able to afford Martins work hours, i think his free time is priceless.

See: You have no sane reason to be mad about any developer or Orbiter fanatic - everybody was just trying to help you finding
a working solution. Which was not according to your own imagination of Orbiter and its community. If you can't defeat your
own demons, the resulting frustration might one day kill you.

As a dev I haven't had time to be frustrated lately.
I have dedicated all energy and time to my Orbiter projects.
Alysimia city is very time consuming, because with every new thing I plan to do, more programming was needed.
Right now coding is no more, for I already have the tools I need to do what I want, but I need time.

And in the way of making Alysimia I came to play Orbiter again and try some addons so I also came with some great idea in my
mind... So time is being shared between this city and this new project.

And if anyone hates me, well, those who hate me are those who feel bad...
So being loved or hated isn't affecting me lately.
Last year I was affected, for it was a really dark dark year in all senses (I thank those who supported me last year), but
things seem to have changed this year.
So hate is futile and will be assimilated...

I must say I have an advantage: appart my work, programming, familly, friends
I have a very bad memory, sometime I even don't recall writting of peoples
that are registered here since years, a new day is a fresh day for me,
good things for moderation  

This said I have a total recall about programming, I recall exactly listings
from years ago.

Well, i have a long list of stuff i want to finish for orbiter, but the last 6 months, university wants more and more time...
luckily moderating the wiki is simpler: Most is just banning spammers, which is becoming a reflex currently...

And i can't even recall what i programmed two weeks ago - thats why i learned how to comment and document my software...

The m6 forums loaded for me just now!  Most recent post was March 21, 2007 10:16 AM by... me! oddly enough.  I guess I broke
m6.   Just letting everyone here know.  

Hopefully it'll stay up.

You didn't break the forum. M6 is notoriusly unreliable and might go down every now and then. Go through this
thread from page 1 and you'll notice that every other week or so since late Dec. '06 it has been down.

WOOT! Forums up.

I know, it was a joke.  *whoosh*

Can Satellite Took Kit do Ceres?

[Simonpro]

STK can do almost anything if you can use it right.

[Urwumpe]

well, theoretically its , but i have the feeling, it will be down again soon.

I'm sure it can. The fundamental problem I'm having here with your suggestion, which is a good one by the way, is that Martin
Schweiger didn't ask me to model my newly designed launch vehicles and space missions with the Satellite Tool Kit, he asked
me to model them in the Orbiter Space Flight Simulator. That pretty much sums up my position with respect to Orbiter.

[Simonpro]

Well, you never told us that here - so on the basis of no other information we recommend the best tool for the job.
Orbiter is not the best tool for Launch Vehicle development by any stretch of anyones imagination.
I also have one or two thoughts about your statement, but I'll keep them to myself until I get someone to think about
it for a while

I agree... well, its something for the next ESA workshop...
