I would recommend the Gear VR for the best 360 Video viewing. And I hope that poor seabird you can see to the right got clear enough to survive!

Well this might not be a big help, but I can confirm that the Elevator runs just fine on my 2010PI install. I have no memory of what witchcraft I may have had to perform to get it installed, though, but it is possible. Are you using a mod handler? It's always best to unpack into a separate...

Found on the Orbit Hanger! Vulture :tiphat:

Welp, now I'm interested. I kind of agree with you about Elite: Dangerous. And Star Citizen, well, less said the better I guess, but this one sounds like it might just have enough fiction in the science to make it an interesting game. Thanks for the heads up and mini-review!

Oh I understand that -- I was actually thinking about the "real thing." And of course as a guide to modeling the cycler in Orbiter. Big honking chemical thrusters or smaller ion engines or a pretty sail...

First thing, as someone who is primarily an Orbiter end user (wish I could contribute more, but time and ability have always been in short supply) it makes me really really happy to see projects like this moving forward. I wish I could do more than just say "I'm looking forward to playing with...

Funny, I think I've ran some of your "unfinished" addons longer than I've ran many completed ones. But thinking of a silver lining to this cloud, sounds like it's time for me to check out Spaceways again... Thanks again for everything you've contributed to the Orbiter community Artlav!

Yep. My satellite service is capped at 15 Gigs, although I do have an unlimited window late night. Do people still not understand that something like half of the US and (apparently) Canada are not yet wired for broadband?

First off, probably should move this to Addon Requests. That said, I have to agree that the first thing I thought of when I saw the Hermes was that I couldn't wait to fly this mission in Orbiter! We've been somewhat blessed in the last few years with Sci-Fi movies featuring reasonably...

True, but it does work as a kludge. You have to use the Lagrange MFD to keep your satellite on station, then intercept and match velocity with IMFD. I do this all the time. I've never tried it with L1 or L2 though. L4 and L5 stay reasonably stable for the few days needed for a rendezvous. Just...

I might be misunderstanding what you need here, but have you tried teleporting a "dummy" ship to one of the Lagrange points and then using IMFD or Transx to plot an intercept to the dummy? This is the way I usually transit to the O'Neal stations I have in my system, although I suspect that this...

If I can add my two cents worth-- When there is a discrepancy between inner and outer dimensions in reference to a fictional craft, my preference is to make the interior match the sets and scale the exterior accordingly. It just seems to suit the feel of the vessel better, in my opinion...

Yep, and agree with you on all counts! Can't stop the signal...

I think you just load it in like any mod. You don't have to make any other changes if I remember correctly. However, if you really really want to stay with the old stuff -- check your PMs.

I remember going through all this getting 4.1 properly installed (Burch was very much a modeller, not a programmer). I wish I could give you a step by step, but after all this time I really don't recall what fell incantations were necessary. The following assumes you are comfortable working...
