Hi all, been away from Orbiter a while, but now I'm using it again and I love the D3D9r12! looks so good. Just have an issue with base textures at night. The base here is a version of Brighton I made back with Orbiter 2006. I understand the solar plants and trains don,t work using the...

Hi all Orbinauts, I have a question re a specific part of the direct reentry setup for say moon to earth but would also like to be able to apply to say an Earth to Mars trip. I have searched "Direct Reentry" and have found a few informative threads but they don't answer my specific question. I...

Hi, Just a quick question about the M.E.T for the XR2 (Original Orbiter) I've notice in some scenarios I've created and/or changed by either adding an XR2 or changing the date when one was already in there etc.. The Mission Elapsed Timer stops initiating at wheel's up. I've noticed that the...

Well this is embarrassing. Dumb question comin' up... The mouse pointer; isn't it supposed to disappear when not in use? I honestly forget. I've used Orbiter since before the Sept 2006 build but I leave then come back and so forth (it's always on my puter). But I've just come back to it...

Hi all, I've used IMFD for years now and don't have any real problems with it , but I'm curious to know if I can use it more efficiently. Example situation: A simple flight from moon to earth in say an Aries II from WO2001, but I wish to do my orbit insert around the Earth so it matches the...

The title incorrectly implies a relationship between the two, but in fact I have two newbish questions: one dealing with IDS numbers and the other dealing with the XR2. 1)How to decode the XPDR & IDS numbers? I'm back into Orbiter once again after a long hiatus but I've never found the answer...

Does anyone know of a program or even an MFD that will show the planet positions over time so one can pick a good date for a particular trip? It doesn't have to be Orbiter based like an MFD. I would just like some program that I can run that shows the date and planet positions relative to...

Hey all, I didn't want to create a seperate thread for each of these add-ons as they're somewhat banal questions and shouldn't ellicit too complex a response. but with regard to... IMFD 5.1m: You don't need an earlier version of IMFD installed for it to run is that correct? I took out all...

Re: The small "moons" I suppose this comes under the heading of the "outer planets" add-on. K so I just took my first trip out to Neptune with the Deepstar2 and 2 DGIV's attached. Set up a nice Orbit at approx 22.00M. This put me within close reach of Despina, Naiad, Thalassa and not too far...

hey all, Figured this was the better place to pose this question as it has to do with the physics of mass in space/orbiter. I've recently spent hours of fun building a new station using Greg Burch's great Building Building Blocks 4.0/4.1 add-on. All told the station consists of of over 80...

Heya all, Just had two questions. 1) What's the limiting number of vessels in a specific scenario file? Sorry if this a newb question, I did know the answer at one point, but I've been a way from Orbiter for a while. I checked the Orbiter scenario.pdf and didn't see the answer there. Is it...

Oo, my first post on the new? forum. Hey all. I realize the forum has been around for a while, but I've been away from Orbiter for a long time. Luckily I've always made a backup of the default Orbiter 2006 P1 files plus another backup of the actual version of Orbiter with the all the addons...
