Release History for FreeFlyer 6.5

FreeFlyer 6.5 introduces the much anticipated Extensions feature. FreeFlyer Extensions allow users to directly access and utilize external compiled code and define custom objects and forces. This means that customers can directly integrate their classified, propriety, or legacy models and algorithms with FreeFlyer without the need to recode or recompile them. Also in 6.5, you’ll find visualization enhancements and a completely rewritten User Help.

  • Extensions
  • Integrated Debugger
  • Object Lists
  • New Script Parsing Engine
  • Ability to generate bitmap-based movies (WMV & AVI)
  • Visualization Enhancements
  • Solid Earth Tides modeling
  • Probability of Collision (Pc) method
  • Help File Rewritten and Expanded
