I was looking at some pictures from the Cassini probe and I noticed Saturn's rings casting shadows on Saturn's upper atmosphere. This detail is missing in Orbiter. Then I realized that I had never seen a shadow of any of Saturn's or Jupiter's moons on their atmospheres like I have seen in...

After installing moon lvl 11 textures I flew there to have a look at the improvement for myself and found this: It looks as though level 10 and level 11 are mixed together. Does anyone else see this?

Can someone tell me the planetary scenery levels included in the 2010 download package? I read that it come with Earth level 11 which I upgraded to level 14 but what about the rest of the bodies in the solar system?

Well, I'm trying to learn how to fly the Dragonfly and use it to assemble station parts but the whole C.G. Offset controls have me a bit flustered. I know what the C.G. Offset thing is all about but the auto function doesn't seem to help and I can't seem to get the Dragonfly balanced with the...

Well, I'm still having problems with Orulex and World Studio. I'd like to know more about the "Functions" menu in World Studio. The default "Constant" settings make the terrain way too exagerated. If I set the "Constant" for the moon from 6250(?) to 1 the terrain looks much more reasonable...

Can anyone tell me what the highest resolution levels are for the various planets are/or and where I can find them? Thanks

Well I was glad to see Launch MFD for the latest Beta come along but after installing it I don't have a HUD in the DG4 anymore. Any kind of HUD, no matter if I hit the keyboard "H" or if I use the HUD button on surface or orbit MFDs. Anyone else having this problem?

I have recently figured out how to get to Mars with a James Cook DSV and when I get there the atmosphere looks thicker than Earth's by far. I just watched an episode of "The Universe" about Mars and in all the orbital views of the planet the entire hemisphere is visable while in Orbiter only...

I was just wondering if anyone has upgraded their video card and/or computer and now is in possession of an Nvidia GeForce 6200 AGP card they don't want anymore and would like to sell. I have an ATI 2400 256mb that does OK but I would rather have the afore mentioned Nvidia for several reasons...

I'm getting the hang of Orulex and World studio but there are still a few things that I'd like to know. Number 1 would be what is the meaning of the "Constant" field in the World Studio Function Menu? Number 2 would be what's wrong with this picture?

I really like the Orulex add-on even though it might ask too much from my system (AMD 3200, 2G Corsair Ram, ATI 2400 AGP video card) for good surface appearance in both the foreground and in the distance but having terrain more than makes up for that. What I am wondering is whether Orulex is...

I have added the Decartes Class Interplanetary Vessels to Orbiter 2006 and to the 2009 beta and in both versions they CTD in exactly 100 seconds. Greg Burch seems to have done some brilliant work here but 100 seconds is not enough...for me at least. I have done clean installs of both Orbiter...

I got to wondering if two different computers having different CPUs, RAM, Video cards, ect might calculate two slightly different Orbiter universes? Let's say computer A has a CPU that rounds off numbers to 20 decimal places and computer B has a CPU that rounds off numbers to 21 decimal places...

After about 10 attempts to load BTC 1. 5 into Orbiter I have to post this problem: BTC 1.5 won't load. It shows up in the modules tab and appears to activate but it never shows up on actual MFD list in the cockpit even on a clean install of Orbiter 2006 P1. Anyone else having this problem...

I have noticed a couple of problems (?) with the Pro-grade, Retrograde, Orbit Normal and Orbit Anti-Normal (attitude hold) autopilots: Pro-grade autopilot is misaligned by about 0.2 degrees starboard yaw to the pro-grade indicator. Which one is incorrect, the autopilot or the pro-grade circle...

I have a problem with BTC 1.42a in that the flow rates are incorrect. BTC gives a mass flow rate of 4.500kg/s for the main engines but flight testing (DGIV) yields 5.910 kg/s as a real value. Same problem with BTC's mass flow rate for the hover and retro engines; they are incorrect. In...

Yuri Kulchitsky has done some really good work with Luna OB1 updates and Luna City and his Space Elevator looks fantastic but I'd like to install it at Doberai (lat 1deg S) but being a total newb at config files and such I could use a little help.

I ran the setup for FSS but I am not able to find Alpha or beta on any target list. I tried typing "FSS Alpha" in the target field but without success. Did I not do something? I read readme.txt but saw nothing relevent. спасибо

Is there a reset function on Trans X? I can use Trans X to get the the Moon then land and refuel but when I want to program Trans X to get me back to Earth, I can't reset the MFD and I'm stuck with 3 stages when I understand 2 is all that's needed. Of Course I have a quicksave on the moon that...

I ran across an equation in a How to Land on the Moon tutorial video (which I since lost) that would calculate how far prior to the base you should apply retro thrust at a known velocity for a known -acceleration. The result was that your ship would arrive over the base with a velocity of 0...
