Hi, I've have recently returned to Orbiter after a few years away. and I have a small problem with the Vespucci_D add on. I'm running a fresh install of Orbiter 2016 on a windows 10 system. I launch the Vespucci_D scenario and I can see the assembly structures but the Vespucci_D ship is...

2006 to 2010 Quick and Dirty File Transfer I did do a quick and dirty transfer of my Orb 2006 folders into a clean Orb 2010 install. I just coppied the folders across, keeping or overwriting the newer or larger files, as my preferences decided. It took about half an hour (1200+ files!). (I did...

Well, It could have been. the thing is that Woomera 6A worked fine before 6B was added gaps and all. The main culpret seemed to be a mesh is section 10. I divided up the CFG file into small sections, then added the sections until I got a CTD. then picked through that section. The weird thing is...

As a patriotic brit I like to download anything related to british space programmes. If like me you downloaded Notebooks Blue Streak F2 (SC3) add-on, only to find that it CTD's (Crash To Desktop) if you go anywhere near it. I have patched both the bases. (Pity, is a good add-on!) Something in...

This add-on used the stock surface tiles as a guide. On closer inspection thet were a little out here and there. I ended up just living with it and tried to get the best looking fit I could. I thought that there would be a problem with other canaveral add-ons. Apart from re-doing the whole base...

That did the trick! If you put both those files in a folder named `Unity` in the config folder it woks a treat. Thank you.

Unity V2 The documents really wet your appitite, but there are absolutely NO config files WHATSOEVER! This addon needs updating with the relivant config files ASAP.

Wallops Island is one of the premier launch sites in the U.S for small orbital, suborbital, test and sounding rockets.  This add-on is just a slight embellishment of Len Jarrett’s Wallops Island and flight facility add-on. Which is some brilliant surface tile work, but when placing a vehicle...

PHOBOS (Originally By Toni Ylisirnio) Toni Ylisirnio’s original Mars 2060 V1.2 add-on is a brilliant add-on for Orbiter; in fact it became part of my standard Orbiter SOL system. The real heartbreaker was that the bases on Phobos and Deimos didn’t coincide with the stock Phobos and...

KSC Canaveral Missile Row Version 2 This add-on overwrites the stock, Config / Earth / Base / Canaveral.cfg file in Orbiter. This version has some extra features over the stock base: The old stock base (Spaceport) is moved to a better position (Not across a road.), Most of the active and...

Have you ever wanted your own backyard spaceport? Now you can. No need for planning permission or noise level worries, because it's all virtual! This actually started out as a way to use Orbiter as a simple stellar observation guide set for my own home location, it was just a pad at first...

This is just a bit of fun to see how small a base I could place on the smallest `planetary body` I could find  1998KY26. This addon requires NightHawkes Asteroid Pack 1.00 to be insttalled first. The 1998KY26 config file will overwrite his original file. This can be found at...

This base is just a bit of fun to see how small a base I could place on the smallest `planetary body` I could find in Orbiter, 1998 KY26. Just big enough to land a Deltaglider on! The structure of the base is below the ground level sphere for the asteroid as set by it's config file but above the...

This base was just a bit of fun to see how small a base I could place on the smallest  `planetary body` I could find in Orbiter, just big enough to land a DeltaGlider on. The base  probably weighs more than the asteroid and would affect it's orbit. The structure itself extends below the ground...

This is a very simple tool to determine the height of objects that are not effected by the `Map Objects To Sphere` function. When constructing a base that covers a large area, some objects appear  to float. This is due to the curvature of the planet / body your base is placed on, and that...
