Hi to all you superb developers. I'm just curious (I'm not a developer myself). Whilst I've found a thread about someone developing the star 'system' from the Interstellar movie. But is anyone here who specialises in Ships, working or planning to work on making the Ranger ship from the film...

Hi folks, I have an Orbiter 2006 install that i fly in quite a bit due to Vespucci not being 2010 compatible. However, despite this i have not added or altered anything in months... yet despite this. I am now suddenly getting an error message pop up when the Launchpad is run: The orbiter...

Hi all, Like some here, i still use 2006, as alas my ship of choice (Vespucci D) is no longer compatible with 2010, unless someone can reverse engineer the DLL & make the changes, so that it is... (There does seem to be some tools out there now that might be capable).. Any programmers out their...

Hi there, How many of you are still using Orbiter 2006? - Example reason being, a favourite add-on or spacecraft isn't compatible with 2010 and/or no longer supported? Just Curious Hyper.

Hi Martin. Just curious as to what your future aspirations for Orbiter might be, now that you've split the sim core from the Graphics.. Things like collision detection, mesh, weather..? Or perhaps Interstellar travel (modelling the stars in a 20ly radius for example (and the issues that this...

Hi Martin, DO you recall the little meet up with managed to arrange with some other Orbiteers. It was waaay back in 2006 i think! - Far too long ago! What say you about having another beer / Meet up soon? Al :cheers:

Hi Martin, etal, It seems that the ability to conduct proper interstellar flight (not pseudo, where you can 'jump' to another fake star system), that a number of local stars in relation to our sun & their apparent motions, would have to be modelled, is becoming increasing discussed and wanted...

Was having a play with the superb & fun Blake's 7 DSV Liberator, I tried to warp through Jupiter... As you do.. Anyway, i got spat out at a rate of knots that i have never seen before in Orbiter. Basically, my velocity was 366.6AU per second!!! This was maintained even after returning the ship...

Hi to All who are in the know, Before you all start replying 'Tuesday' .. in a Maaatt Daaamooonnn. Team America voice, this is NOT about 'when'. :-D Given that it took less than 2 months after Orbiter 2010 came out, for the first patch to be released. A further 6 months have now gone by...

Hi all, I noticed recently when dabbling with .cfg file for a spaceship, where the file was practically bare of variables, that if able to add: mass = xxxxxxx This had the effect of 'overiding' the mass set within the ship's .dll & changed the ship to the mass that I wanted. This got me...

Hi there, Thought i'd finally get around to 'upgrading' from Orb 2006 to 2010. On installing a fresh Vespucci D into a fresh 2010, & launching its default scenario, the Sim loads OK but Vespucci & the cockpit etc are INVISIBLE!!! (Although the Docking mesh IS visable) Now can i assume that...

Hi all, Having only a loose knowledge of things relativistic . - I may be completely wrong with this... I've noticed with Orbiter that, because it is solely based upon Newtonian physics, one can easliy creep up to & exceed light speed, if a craft has either sufficient non-realistic fuel &...

Hi Orbiteers. Hopefully someone may know what is gonig in here. Computer setup is as follows: Multi-harddrive PC that is dual boot XP & Vista. Orbiter is stored on a physically separate harddrive from either OS. - & is simply seen as a lettered drive when booted in either OS. To run orbiter...

Hi All, I've been doing some simple scenario editing, where i have docked two DGIV to a Vespucci D .. All looks lovely & all the NAV & XPNDR frequencies are working fine & I can flit from dock to dock no problem. The trouble is of course, the DGIV, like the XR2, XR5 etc, supports a LIVING crew...

Hi All, What might be the pros (if any) & cons, of planning / lauching an interplanetary mission when starting from a geostationary orbit? Firstly the pro's & cons for missions to the inner planets (Including Mars) Secondly the pro's & cons of missions to any of the outer planets? Look...

Hi all, I'm taking my first steps into making customisations / alterations etc. Is it possible to use the flame effect from one space craft & swap/ add it to another.. For example, I have been trying out the Hius spacecraft recently, & really like it's extremely Loooong flame effect when...

Hi all, Just messing about with a Scenario, I'm wanting to plonk a ship's starting point in stable Equatorial Geo-stationary orbit. Not fussed 'where' over the equator it is placed, ' Africa' perhaps? But i was hoping someone might have some 'off the shelf' numbers, that i can pop into the...

Hi All, I know this gets asked from time to time, But seeing as 3 years have nearly passed since the last 'patch', & 3.3 years since the full release. This is the longest time span there has ever been between releases since Orbiter began. (& these were done by just Martin.) .. Seems that now...

Hi there, There is already a superb Energia addon. But i was wondering if the developer of that, or someone else, was or is working on the Energia II & Vulkan versions (super heavy lift) http://k26.com/buran/html/energia_variants.html Would be fantastic! - alas i am no modeler otherwise i...

Hi there, With NASA plodding along gradually to return men/ women to the moon, 45 - 50 years after we were last there. When (by any nation or organisation either private or government run), might there be a realistic time-frame for a manned mission to mars. I personally thinks it's pretty sad...
