Does anyone know of a good 3D editing software that imports and exports meshes while maintaining their textures and without the need to save anything as a 3ds and then convert it? Thanks!

A while ago an idea to make a starship that could be controlled by multiple people was mentioned and I think it might be possible to create such a system using Orbiter Multiplayer. With this project I hope to eventually make a starship similar to the Enterprise from Star Trek and have many...

Could someone who speaks Russian please translate the parts of this video where they interview Boris Chertok? These are at 7:50, 8:25, and 9:15. Here's the video: Thanks in advance for your help!

AFAIK no CVE Lite ships work in Orbiter 2010. Is there way this can be fixed? Are there any CVEL addons that have been updated to work with O2010? If so, how was that accomplished?

In searching Orbithangar for the above spacecraft I found two SpaceShipOne/WhiteKnight addons but neither was compatible with O2010. Is anyone developing an addon for these spacecraft?

The goal of Orbiter Magazine is to be an informative and entertaining way of keeping up with what's going on in the Orbiter world. The target audience is mostly fellow Orbinauts, especially those who don't have time to check the forums very often but still want to keep up with what's going on...

Recently I have had several system lockups which may be related to GPU driver failure. Some have happened while playing Orbiter and others while watching YouTube videos on Google Chrome. A message popped up during one or two lockups saying the graphics drivers had stopped responding. Other times...

I am currently (and have been since July 2010) working on an addon of the N1-L3 Soviet manned lunar landing program. Some background info: This program was originally initiated in the early 60s by Sergei Korolev as a counterpart to NASA's Apollo program. One among several other manned lunar...

I have a textured 3ds model that I want to import to Orbiter but when I open the model in a 3d editing program the program does not open the textures. Can I somehow tell the program where to look for textures for this model? (I know where the textures are and the texture names are defined in the...

I was cleaning out my hard drive contents the other day and I happened to notice a staggering amount of application data that had been created by a program. Over the one and a half years I have been using this program it has accumulated 40 GBs of data. Is there anything I can do with all this...

Lately I've been encountering a lot of CTDs when using UMMU 2.0. These happen whenever I switch focus back to a UMMU after focusing on another ship. As far as I can tell this happens only when I create a UMMU with scenario editor. The Orbiter log reveals no useful information and I tried running...

I have an ATI Radeon HD 5570 graphics card. What are the risks and benefits of overclocking this card? I have the ATI Catalyst control center installed which has an option to adjust things like memory clock speed. What kinds of risks are associated with this and will it noticeably increase...

I'd like to try the Linux operating system but I don't know which distribution to choose. Does anyone have any advice on this?

I'm shopping for a new processor and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on which one is the best. The thing is, I don't want to replace my motherboard which has an Intel LGA 775 processor socket so I'm limited to processors that are compatible with this. I looked at the Core 2 Quad...

From time to time while browsing the forum I come across a mention of a space documentary and think "where was I when that came out?" So here's a place to post interesting space documentaries that you have seen or heard of. (Especially obscure ones that wouldn't be widely advertised.) I'll...

This is the first time I've ever debugged an Orbiter addon through VC++ 2008. I followed the steps on the Orbiter Wiki (That thing's kind of outdated and hard to navigate, BTW) but when I start the debugging process I get the error message "debugging information for 'orbiter.exe' cannot be found...

I'm trying to port a project from O2006 to O2010 and I can't get the spacecraft's .dll to work in O2010. Is there a set method of porting modules between versions or is the problem code specific?

I just got an ATI Radeon HD 5570 graphics card and I'd appreciate any tips about how to optimize it to work with Orbiter. i.e. what graphics settings/Orbiter settings should I change. I have a Dell Dimension E510 running Win XP.

Just a few seconds ago I read that seismic waves travel at about 8 km/s and wondered if you could somehow propel a spaceship with that energy. No idea if it's possible but just thought I'd post this in the spur of the moment, as it were. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

I need some help! Please! My computer's not recognizing any USB devices. When I plug something in it just says "USB device not recognized." I know it's not the devices themselves either because they all work on my laptop. The weird thing is that my printer, keyboard, and mouse are all connected...
