I'm wondering if this is a bug. You might think I'm nuts, but I've been flying in Orbiter for YEARS but I've never left the Earth-moon system and everything I've done has been between those two locations (and that's a lot of stuff. Just a testament to the vast amount of stuff you can do with...

The name of this post should be "What? The sun could last forever?" instead of what I typed. I was randomly looking around on the web and I came upon a question on "wiki.answers.com" that asked "How long does the sun have left?" The top part, I knew, but that bottom part intrigued me. I've...

Need I say it? Where's our Curiosity addon? I'm so used to us having an addon for a spacecraft months before the thing launches! I've been so spoiled! :)

We need some holiday ships. Like a Christmas ship that's all green and red and blows snowflakes out the exhaust !!! Make it look like a wrapped present or a decorated tree with blinking lights ! Make it go "LAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!" when you engage the engines ! How about an easter themed one with...

I don't know if this exists or not. The only mod loader I ever use for Orbiter is JGME. When working with the game, Oblivion, it really matters what order the addons are loaded and they have a utility called BOSS that can look at the addons you have, put them in the best load order, and...

Okay. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what's going wrong or what I'm forgetting. When I launch the Ariane 6, when it stages, the stages just disappear instead of dropping off. I have Spacecraft 3 and Multistage 2 installed and from what I can see, all the other requirements...

I know how to build a space station in LEO, but I'm curious. If I want to start building a station in orbit around the Moon or Jupiter, what spacecraft would be best to fly the modules out to the construction site ?

I was just curious how work was going updating WO2001 for Orbiter 2010. It's my favorite mega-addon and I'm having WO2001 withdrawl.

Every time I launch a mission in AMSO using the autopilot, the spacecraft burns up in the atmosphere midway through the launch for some reason. I've gone through all the instructions and have Orbiter configured exactly as recommended in the AMSO manual. Anyone have a clue as to what's going on ?

I've been trying to learn how to use IMFD 5.4 lately and have run into a problem. The MFD seems to have changed between version to the point that I can't get any of the tutorials that I've found to work properly. Does a tutorial exist specifically for version 5.4 at all or can some nice...

I'm running into a problem. I'm trying to run a "persistant world" kind of game. I ran into a problem that when I exit from the sim back to the launch screen, Orbiter crashes and it gives me the "Orbiter has crashed and needs to be shut down" window. After eliminating all modules and addons...

I LOVE the Arrow Freighter ! When you're in that virtual cockpit, it's like driving a multimillion dollar luxury car. I imagine that the rest of the interior of that thing is pretty damn posh !! It's also like driving a small planet around and docking a delta-glider in the thing's belly...

Okay. Newbie question here. After YEARS using Orbiter for simple sight seeing by cheating and making scenario files, I've actually decided to learn how to actually fly in this thing properly. So far, I'm a pro at docking, undocking, and docking to different ports in the same structure. What I...

Okay, it's not a MAJOR issue, but one thing about every Orbiter version always kind of bugged me a little, and that's the docking animation, or lack thereof. When you dock, it looks like a crappy spliced jump cut. Yeah, I know it's kind of nit picking and I'm sure there are more important...

"World of 2001" is my absolute favorite addon aside from the famous "Shuttle Fleet" addon. It would be wonderful to get it compatible with Orbiter 2010 ! :thumbup: It's really a beautiful addon and I would love to see what O2010 could do with it. It appears that the spacecraft need to be...

I've downloaded the zip files for the level 11 Moon and Mars from http://downloadorbitersim.com/?page_id=42 and a few of the other sites as well. Every time I try to open one of these two zip files, I get a "Bad Zip Header" error and they won't open. This was with the direct download. I'm...

I've downloaded every Death Star from Orbit Hanger that I could find. According to the "Readme"'s all they require is the Shuttle Tyderium which I also installed. The other one called "That's Not A Moon" requires the "Alpha Centauri Solar System" from AVSIM. The problem is, the ones that...

An idea just popped into my head. Something that I think is possible to do with Orbiter that I haven't seen an addon for yet and may be something an interested addon builder might put together because I would certainly play with it. My idea is "Base Building Blocks" Now we all know that we...

I was just curious. I know that you can build space stations on orbit, but are there any actual constructable large spacecraft that you can assemble from parts on orbit ? It would be really cool to say build something like the "Discovery" from "2001" on orbit with multiple missions and then...

I've tried using the Virtual Mission Control program with Orbiter and have run into an issue. It seems that for spacecraft that use an autopilot for anything, the autopilot activates and goes haywire when the Virtual Mission Control computer is monitoring the craft. Any ideas what's going on ...
