Instructions are in the last paragraph in description. Make sure that the text after ScreenBlock= matches cockpit name exactly as it appears in control panel, including spaces and numbers. Then increase number after Screen= until the graphics appears on the desired monitor.

How to display it in cockpit?

Sounds like a mod conflict. Are you using Real Orbits?

Orbiting Triton Will Make The Display Glitch the hell Out

No.

will your orbital scripts work with the new Real Orbits mod or on planets the have gravityfalloff set ^2
Thanks!

There is no easy way to do this at the moment.

Is there any possibility of a way to change the color of the display?

Where Can I find the script I have added it to my game but I cant find the script anywhere
anzellott 13 Feb, 2021 @ 8:01am 
ok
that'll be good for rendezvous for landers and Space station n stuff
Knsgf  [author] 20 Jan, 2021 @ 10:36pm 
I might, but no promises.

Could You make A Script That Shows Your Ship's Orbital Trajectory Compared To Another's?

Ah, thank you
Knsgf  [author] 14 Jan, 2021 @ 10:13am 
This is what Ship= in PB's Custom Data is for.

Can I use this to map the orbits of other grids? Ie a station I want to dock with
Leo2log 27 Dec, 2020 @ 10:42am 
nvm i fixed it
Knsgf  [author] 27 Dec, 2020 @ 8:29am 
The script won't do anything unless the required mod is loaded.
Leo2log 27 Dec, 2020 @ 8:07am 
yeah the script isnt displaying on lcds

Check local gravity in cockpit control panel. If it says "(stock)", then you're too low.

I Did Accomplish A Somewhat Stable Mini-Moon Orbit (3460m Diameter), But The Script Still REfused To Work, Although Somehow Not As Catastrophically As When I Oribted Earth

i used a speed mod with a maximum speed of 20km/s, way overkill for the <300m/s i needed to orbit my planet. the planet i used was a realistic earth that was scaled with SE toolbox to be exactly 1000th of the real earth's size (12,746m Diameter, 6,373m Diameter). I Tried Going In 200m, But The Best I Could Do Is A Good Sub Orbit At atleast 583m, Which Is Coincidentially Just below The Point At Which The Atmosphere Goes From Low O2 And Freeze To None O2 And Freeze, Or Space

@anzellott
Dude, I hope you used an increased speed mod. For I was able to enter the orbit of a planet with a radius of 2500 km (with the help of a plug-in I was able to put one). Developed a speed of 3.7 km / s, and quietly circled.

By the way, out of boredom, I even calculated the first space speed, so that it was more accurate. :D

Tested myself, and even with 500 m planet I didn't see anything odd. At which height were you trying to orbit?
anzellott 29 Aug, 2020 @ 3:10pm 
it appears to malfunction when used on planets smaller than 19km with a realistic gravity mod. could you make this mod more accomodating for these situations? Especially considering they are most important in these scenarios where i have no choise but orbit when i want to go to space

Wow! Thank you so much!
Knsgf  [author] 17 Jul, 2020 @ 6:26am 
I've updated the script to allow it to work on fixed stations. Make sure to specify the name of your ship on 'Ship=' line in PB's Custom Data.

Hello! Is it possible to track objects in orbit while on the planet? Like the observation center at KSP. If so, how to implement it?

Well, the script is * bad word of delight *, even a very * bad word of delight * !!!

Does SE have orbital mechanics now? Last time I played, planets just had gravity but that's it O_o
nubeees 15 May, 2020 @ 12:59pm 
Fantastic. Thank you for making this script!

For anyone unfamiliar with orbital mechanics or confused about how to use this script, I found this website to be very helpful in explaining its concepts: http://www.braeunig.us/space/orbmech.htm
