Open Source Resources

[GoogleCodeExporter]

So you are aware there are a couple of open source Orbiter projects you can
draw on for resources.

1) NASSP for apollo GPL v2
http://nassp.sourceforge.net/
2) My own Project Mercury for Orbiter and Project Gemini for Orbiter BSD
License
http://www.ibiblio.org/mscorbit

Both of these projects goal to accurately simulate every switch and knob on
the spacecraft.

Project Mercury is 90% complete
NASSP is somewhere above 50% they can do the Apollo 7 mission readily and
some of the lunar stuff. Note NASSP uses a AGC simulator that runs the
actual AGC code used on early 70's apollo missions.
Project Gemini is about 40% complete, the physics are there but only a few
of the cockpit controls are implemented.

In addition I host a forum for open source orbiter projects at

http://www.ibiblio.org/mscorbit/mscforum/

I would be glad to host a series of forums for exoflight.

Thanks for the comments; I have been quite impressed with the Orbiter add-ons 
I've
seen so far -- it's amazing what's happened since Orbiter's inception. It would 
make
a lot of sense to incorporate some of the graphics/models/sounds/mission data to
bootstrap some of Exoflight's features. For instance I'm interested in getting 
the
Apollo/Gemini/Shuttle missions working in rough form (look at "data/missions" 
for an
example of what's done so far).

I think an Exoflight forum is a wonderful idea; however you may want to wait 
until
interest evolves to the point where a forum is warranted. The project is still 
pretty
young.
