Anyone know where blixel is? I haven't heard from him here or at his youtube channel?

I had an old modded Orbiter 2010 set up on my old computer with Windows 7. I have just two problems. I copied it to my new computer and windows 10 and now I can't use the D3D9. I have to launce with Orbiter.exe . It runs good though. But there is one problem. While in low Earth orbit...

Imagine being able to race somebody in orbiter! First one to dock at the ISS wins! Or a race to Brighton Beach. And I'm sure that this has already come up in discussions. It would be amazing though! Even if you lose it would still be fun as hell.

I was watching a documentary about Mars missions the other day and they were discussing possible upcoming flights to Mars. And one scenario that they were seriously considering was a flight to Mars that included a Venus sling. Have you ever heard anything like that being considered? I think they...

I got Nasa Station from Orbiter Hangar. But, when I launch Orbiter with it, the docking ports do not have assigned frequencies . So I'm unable to use Nav Com and Docking MFD . Does anyone know what info I need to add to the Nasa Station config file so that the ports will have frequencies for...

I'm in LEO in the Arrow Freighter looking at Orbit MFD. I referenced the Sun and I think what I see it showing is my orbit around the Sun. And my problem is this. The MFD is showing my PeA distance to be 67.86 G ???? The ApA looks right. At 148.3 G . The Ecc is .3639?? I don't understand! I...

Hello. I currently have the 2013 Christmas release of UCGO. I'm going to get the latest one and my question is this. Can I install UCGO 3 to my Orbiter installation which already has the earlier Christmas UCGO 2.5? Will it over write and be ok? Also, will my current scenarios with UCGO 2.5 work...

I don't understand something. I read that Titan completes one orbit around Saturn in about 15 days. And its altitude is over 1.1 million km. Now, our Moon is only 300 and something thousand km, and it takes over 27 days to orbit Earth? How in the hell does Titan get all the way around at that...

Nevermind. I suggested that an updated version of Hyperion be done because the default one looks so bad. But, there are a bunch of other moons at Saturn which can be used I suppose. And with adons available for some of them at the Hangar for improving the appearance. I was just annoyed when I...

What is the quickest and easiest way to get a good launch date for going from Pluto to Neptune? Any websites besides Cosmic train Schedule? That site doesn't show some outer planets including Pluto. Trans X was too hard to use for the purpose of finding a date. Although I used it to find a date...

I recently added the Pluto ad-on. Before adding it I didn't think too much about Pluto because its so small and far away and was downgraded to dwarf planet status. But, I must say that I'm VERY impressed with it! I just arrived at Pluto in the Arrow Freighter and now I'm thinking that its one of...

Would an enlarged version of Orbiter be possible in which there is a small number of stars(some with planets), in addition to our Sun, all orbiting a black-hole? That way an escape plan from the Sun would be possible and then going into orbit around the black-hole on a transfer to another solar...

I would like to see an XR vessel that is similar in size to the Arrow Freighter, that could be used as a "mother ship" like the Arrow can. I like the Arrow a lot and I just thought it would be great to have an XR freighter or something. Would that be cool or what! I know it would be awesome. :)

How do you bring it up during a flight?

I just created a UCGO base on Venus. How do I get the base recognized in Map MFD, NAV COM, Align Plane MFD, etc... so that after I leave and come back again I'll be able to navigate and find the base?

I had a small issue and I'd like to share my solution in case anyone else is interested. While in orbit at Mercury(2115km), while the majority of the surface looked spectacular, I noticed that the horizon or the outer edges looked strange and I could tell that it was a lighting issue, and sure...

I'm in the Arrow and I launched from Mercury to orbit. I needed to rendezvous with the XR2 which is in a 2200 km orbit(not far from my GasMiner_Station at that orbit) and is crewless, so I can have Doug Brown, one of my pilots, do a space walk to the XR2 so he can get it docked in the bay. So...

Where do I go to download the Arrow freighter? I looked at the Hangar and its not there.

Can scenario editor be used to place multiple ISSs around the Solar System? I thought it would be interesting to have a station to use at other planets or moons.

I'm interested in learning how to do sub-orbital flights correctly, especially since I did some research regarding special aircraft like the Concord and about space planes, which all could do this. So, when going from point A to point B on the Earth, how do you determine how fast and how high to...
