I saw Elysium in theaters on Friday. The spaceflight sequences are phenomenal! It looks a lot like Orbiter in a few shots. Also, the spacecraft designs are really interesting. Very realistic. Blomkamp really has a knack for sci-fi. :thumbup: What'd you guys think?

Some of the MFDs seem to loose their targets (i.e. ISS) when a scenario is saved and reloaded. This seems to impact the stock MFDs more than addon MFDs. Does anybody know how to maintain MFD targets when scenarios are reloaded?

In the top right corner of External MFD windows (near the 'close' button), there is a small button with a thumb-tack on in. The manual says this is the "lock" button, but there's no description. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what this button does. I know it doesn't prevent me from...

Can anybody please confirm that touch screen monitors work with ExternalMFDs? I'm looking to make an investment, and I would be using the touchscreen as a second monitor for all my external MFDs (moved off the main orbiter window). Thanks.

I've been toying with external MFDs, but I have lost interest in them because they seem to drastically affect my frame rates. Anybody else have this problem? Maybe it has something to do with the nature of my experimentation: I had a second monitor hooked up such that I could run the orbiter...

I am having weird instances where my saved SCN files are accessible and executable from the Orbiter menu, but I can't find the SCN files anywhere in the orbiter/scenarios folders. In fact, I can't find them anywhere on my computer at all (I did a complete search). Has anybody else experienced...

How about some small text at the center of the HUD to indicate your current time compression (when it's anything besides 1x). That might help to prevent accidental RCS maneuvering at 10x, 100x, etc.

Does anybody care to guess if a space shuttle SRB could achieve LEO if it were launched by itself? SRB jettison happens at 28 miles (46 km) when they lift the space shuttle.

Had anybody consolidated ALL key commands for orbitersim into a concise list? I know the manual has most of them listed in that section, but i don't think all of them are there. You have to flip pages to find some of the commands. I guess if nobody has made one, I'll take a crack at it and...

I downloaded the DG-EX over the weekend: what a gorgeous ship. It's quickly becoming my favorite. But there's just one thing that is limiting my use of it. When I'm in orbit, I can't get the main engines to fire with the key commands. The retros work just fine, but the only way I can activate...
