I mean something that's used to tell you where to draw your skin/texture/whatever. I know there's something called UV Unwrapping but I could never figure it out. A tutorial would be great.

Thanks for the replies. I'll definitely check out 3DS Max as well as Anim8or and Blender. Also, is there a good, understandable, easy-to-use tool for creating textures/skins/whatsit for your vessels?

Hello everyone. I'm wondering what the most popular 3D application for Orbiter add-on development is. Also I would like to know if there are any tutorials that describe how to determine how big your model will be in Orbiter, in comparison with other Orbiter ships. Thanks in advance.

Wow this thread has generated a lot of posts while I was not watching. That's just fine I guess. I thought there was a balloon add-on at OrbitHangar? I've run across it once or twice... ---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ---------- Okay, I admit it...

Replays aren't exactly what I'm looking for here. To clarify, what I'm interested in is ideas for interesting flights/activities to be done in Orbiter. I'll download the replay, though, looks interesting.

Thanks for the replies. I'll work on adding some to the List. :) EDIT: Feel free to continue posting, this is in no way closed or as comprehensive as I would like. EDIT 2: Some people's suggestions were added, also I enhanced my original single idea and added a suggestion to build your own space...

Hello everyone. I decided to set up a thread for people to post interesting things they do with Orbiter for the benefit of bored Orbinauts. I'm making a list in this post, starting with a few things I thought of myself, and if I see anything in the thread that looks interesting/useful I may add...

Hmm, this thread seems to have cropped up a lot more replies than I thought it would. :) Thanks for the tips, everyone.

I agree with Rtyth, the design is pretty awful.

I am having trouble with the Delta-Glider XR1. When I try to turn it by my usual method - banking 90 degrees and using up/down to steer - the wings fail - I also get a "wing load at over 85% of maximum" message or something like that. :( I know you're supposed to use shallow banks and the...

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering if there's a add-on for Orbiter that would allow you to use the mouse as a joystick like you can in some space combat/trading sims.

I've tried that in the past, and while it has some of what I'm looking for it's not a full featured addon and as I remember some things were missing. I've never really used it for anything major. I suppose I'll have to program my own add on. Even if I do decide to, I won't do it anytime soon...

Wow, what a lot of replies! Thanks everyone! Thanks for the tips, Grover. I already knew about some of them, but the rest are new to me. I am considering doing a "How To Land" tutorial video (once I get the hang of it myself, of course :)). If you think that such a video would be useful to the...

I'm new to the forums and I would like to say that I just suceeded in manually landing the XR2 at Wideawake International! That is to say, I almost suceeded. I actually touched down some to the right of the runway, and then steered myself onto it and braked via retro rockets. I didn't do a...
