Dear all, Yesterday I thought about the following: Would it be possible to write an MFD or an add-on that changes the behaviour of the RCS thrusters? Now the RCS thrusters just fire as long as you hold the button. I would love to have an add-on which sends only a short burst out of the...

Dear Orbinauts, A strange problem came up here. As the title says: The reentry flames come way too early - in around 90 km height with -100°C outside. I don't know what caused it - probably an Add-on I would guess? Does anyone have a clue where the start of the reentry flames is defined...

Guys, a really, really, REALLY annoying bug just drives me crazy for a few days. Problem is this: I just established a geostationary orbit around earth. I would like to deploy the MTKS-SAT. So far so good. I use the DGIV. I switch to the upper panel and empty the airlock. As soon as it reaches...

Dear community, Yesterday evening I made a short flight to the base "Aurora" on the moon. I challenged myself to look as much on the MFDs only as possible. But... yeah, you know... of course I looked "outside the window" and even used the external view. I ask myself: Is there a way to force...

Dear all, I have a problem here. I just downloaded BaseSyncMFD 2.8. Under the Modules-tab I activated it but it doesn't show up in the simulator. Does anyone had this problem? Can you help me? Thanks in advance!:tiphat: EDIT: I just took a look in the "Orbiter"-textfile in the root...

Hey guys, I hope that this was not posted already. Nasa uploaded all the photos which were made by the Apollo astronauts. See here (for best results use the Album view):https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/projectapolloarchive/ Have fun!

Dear Community, The title says it all: What happens when you jump up inside of a Standford Torus? As it is rotating with 1 RPM the gravity - while standing - is roundabout 0.9 to 1.0g. What happens when you jump up? There can't be gravity, right? So you will be floating in the air? I'm...

Guys, and here comes a problem which is really weird. I did not touch anything... and now the fonts changed in Orbiter (see the "extra MFD" on the top right). Also - by the way - the font inside Google Chrome change to something like "Arial Narrow"... Can someone help? With Times New Roman...

Dear Orbinauts, Yesterday I made a trip to Jupiter. I reached a stable orbit around Jupiter and travelled to Europa via Transfer MFD. EDIT: The whole trip was done with Dans Arrow Freighter. As I reached the Periapsis I wanted to do my orbit insertion burn in retrograde position but this...

Hey Guys My problem: The graphics of Orbiter are smooth but a bit odd. Check out Wideawake International attached. Is this normal?! Also the clouds look really nice from far away (Earth High-Resolution Clouds) but up close it is just one giant pixel. I got an Ultrabook made by ASUS with an...

Hey Guys! Yesterday I landed at Wideawake International and thought "Wouldn't it be nice to see planes of all sorts arriving and departuring? Also some Vehicles driving on the ground?" Does anybody know if there is some addon with which I can implement some automated spacecrafts? Cheers, Chris

Dear Community A problem just showed up and I don't know what causes the problem. I just wanted to make a short flight to the moon with a Delta Glider IV. Via TransferMFD I calculated my burn and executed it. On the cruise I pressed KillRot and I noticed that the RCS Thrusters are constantly...

Hi all! Again I used the search function but did not get my answers. Sorry for starting a new thread for this but perhaps there are other users with the same problems. So I love the arrow freighter (in case Danstep is reading this: Awesome Job! :tiphat:) but there are two things which bother...

Dear Community, I did a lot of searching here in the forum but didn't get the answers I need. Perhaps there is already a thread which covers this topic. So... Let's say I am in my Delta Glider IV sitting on the Runway at Cape Canaveral. I would like to go to the ISS. The onboard computer (or...

Hi fellow Orbinauts! I wanted to share a little thing that enhanced my personal Orbiter experience a lot. While in Space and in outer view I love to hear the Band (which is just a single person) "Neue" with their album "The Planets". Check them out here: http://neue.bandcamp.com/ I am not...

... which is German for " Hi to all of you"! My name is Chris. I am 28 years old, living in the near of Dusseldorf and I am working in a publishing house (mostly trade press for the fahion business). I "played" orbiter a lot a few years ago but then I bought a Mac and... well... you know. Now...
