    Vessel How much information is needed to create a craft for Orbiter?

    Looking at the thread that listed "low budget TV/Movie craft", I thought of an idea, if someone can do it, of creating some spacecraft from a very interesting book I read in the late 70's, and which I am trying to secure a copy. The book was "Frontiers Of Space" by Philip Bono and Kenneth...

    Programming Question Is there a spacecraft3.dll file newer than the 2006 Version?

    I realized that the version of the "spacecraft3.dll" file I have in my version of Orbiter is the version from 2006, and the link in the Hangar Mods area goes to a dead link (Vinka's webpage is gone). Is this located somewhere in Hangar Mods or on another link site?

    Installation Earth1962 version not available for Orbiter 2010?

    I've been looking at some of the addons recently, and wanted to try some of the earlier rocket systems, such as in the Mercury and Gemini programs. Their docs states that you have to have Earth1962 installed, but the docs for Earth1962 state that you can only use it with Orbiter 2006 version...

    I started reading about some of the scenarios and tutorials and looked at the autopilot launch for the shuttle. Are there similar autopilot launch scripts available for other craft (like the Delta Glider) or add-ons?

    Problem Loss of control of DG Mk IV at high time warp

    Anytime I increase the time warp for the Delta Glider more than 100x, and for more than 5-10 seconds, I lose control of the vehicle. Any idea what causes this?

    Flight Question Synchronizing Orbit points exactly with a target

    Trying to figure out the best way to match the points of Apogee/Perigee with a target. For example, I am trying this with the DG Mk IV, and am well versed in changing the plane of an orbit to that of a target (I'm using the ISS), and being able to change the DG orbit's distance from the Earth...

    Flight Question Getting to the right orbit from launch-Space Shuttle Atlantis

    Would appreciate any hints or tips in launching the Space Shuttle Atlantis manually and being at or close to the orbital inclination for the ISS or Mir. With the Delta Glider there is so much more fuel and engine power to change the orbital plane, but not so much with the shuttle...and you...

    Problem Minotaur V1.0-Can't see the rocket

    I downloaded the Minotaur V1.0 addon from the Orbiter Hangar. After putting all the files in their places, I cannot see the rocket, but the initial view is focused on the pad.

    Guide to install addons without any headaches?

    Was wondering if there is a guide, either in the docs or elsewhere, on how to install addons for Orbiter. Basically I am looking for specifics on where to unzip files to depending on the type of addon. For example, for the Orbiter Sound, I just directed the unzipped file to the "Orbiter"...

    Computer: Win7 x64, Celeron @2.2 Ghz, 2GB Ram Video is onboard (Intel G45/G43 chipset) Downloaded the sound add-on, and have noticed the white flashes. So far have only run the Space Shuttle Atlantis sunrise launch scenario when experiencing. Orbiter is run in a window, and when I start any...
