    Playback of IMFD manual tutorial Earth to Mars crashes.

    Not crash the whole program, but makes it VERY unstable as soon as time acceleration goes on. This is the manual that contains the tutorial: IMFD Full Manual/Playbacks To make the playback function properly, I had to change the properties of the XR2 Ravenstar to have these properties...

    Flight Question What's the easiest way to go to Mars?

    It's been awhile (2 months maybe?) since I last posted here or played Orbiter. I know I can orbit Earth, go to the Moon (first time I went was a REALLY unorthodox method, by burning prograde until I reached 0 eccentricity, and I still have NO idea how I still managed to get there...) the Sun...

    What reclassification would you want most in the future?

    What would you want to IAU to reclassify most? We all remember the controversy over Pluto being a Dwarf Planet along with Eris and Ceres 3 years ago, but there was something always bothering me about something. The IAU was more concerned about planets than moons. I would love the IAU to have...

    My first flight to the moon

    I did NOT use TransX or IMFD, but extensively used both Orbit and Map IMFDs, as well as burn up half of the world's fuel reserves during the process. I was reading in the PDF about how to go from a higher or a lower orbit. I did that, and it worked out great. I am still a noob at IMFD, and this...

    I made my first inter-planetary trip to Mercury (kinda)

    I have been playing Orbiter for the past week and a half or so and I have no knowledge how to use TransX or IMFD yet. But I have been reading this post recently http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=2533 and I had the same idea of launching myself into the Sun. I was on noob mode where...

    Idea Hypothetical and historical planets moons and stars

    http://www.nineplanets.org/hypo.html Not something realistic if it's been disproved, but it would make for great "what if" scenarios. "What if" Einstein's Theory of Relativity was false and Vulcan did in fact exist (how would it affect the source code for the sim?)? What if Nemesis is about 1.4...

    Do the ships always spin out of control due to time acceleration?

    I always set it to kill rotation once I set it into space before I orbit. It would be easier for me in order to make my first lunar transfer if the time set to 10,000x. However the ship always spins out of control at that speed, at least in the Earth's SOI. Is it always like that near planets...
