Thanks for the feedback so far! I'm starting to think because of my amazement of Orbiter, as well as my video hobbies, I may have to start using Windows 7 once again more on the personal side. As it is I adopted Debian Squeeze as my primary operating system well over a year ago when I wasn't...

Hi, What's the current consensus of Orbiter 2010 + Linux using Wine 1.4? The information I've found seems a little dated. I've found some anecdotal reports here of Orbiter working "flawlessly" under Wine 1.4 but little explanation. I'm interested if this is using Directx (and if so was that...

So what is the general consensus on Orbiter 2010 in Linux under Wine? Orbiter is one of the reasons I don't pull Vista as my primary operating system on my fastest and newest laptop, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 natively on my "2nd" laptop.

An astronomer at the University of Western Ontario has found a Soviet moon rover in recently released images from a NASA satellite. Phil Stooke combed through data and images of the moon's surface from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter that NASA released Monday. Stooke compared the images...

My apologies if this has been posted already on here, however I don't see it. Is Manned Spaceflight Obsolete? February 9, 2010, 7:15 pm By THE EDITORS The Obama administration has scrapped NASA’s plan to return humans to the Moon by 2020, which was behind schedule because of technical and...

I think I got it. If I select simply "Direct3D T&L HAL" from near the top, change my screen resolution to 1680 x 1050 with Colour depth 32 ... it seems to stay between sessions and changing scenarios.

Hi quick question. I use multiple displays on my laptop, with a separate LCD monitor as my primary display. I am using a Dell XPS M1530 with Vista Home Premium and a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT video card). In Orbiter, on the video tab, I have two instances of 3D device for "Direct3D T&L HAL...

I think I just figured it out ... and it wasn't Orbiter it was me. In Orbiter I had the habit when zooming in or out to depress the mouse wheel first (which is unnecessary). I think that's what threw my desktop into the mode of the icons resizing, unrelated to Orbiter. I just did a Mercury...

Yeah your right now that I think of it, I've got a lot hitting my personal bandwidth right now. What I was in reference to is VMWare does allow you to enable DirectX, of course that's not directly on the hardware .... although if one had a need to test something w/ DirectX inside a VM it's...

Still using my 22" external monitor, the only difference now is I disable the secondary display on the 15.4" laptop display, and I run Orbiter in a window instead of full screen mode. I think it is a problem unique to the Mercury 5.0 add-on ... I ran Gemini extensively and did not see this...

Actually I'm now wondering if it also has something to do with functionally in Vista that didn't exist in XP ... "Make Your Desktop Icons Smaller or Larger with the Mouse Wheel" as detailed in this url: http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/make-desktop-icons-smaller-larger-with-mouse/4209/...

Istochnikov cool! You mean here? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=58685&package_id=124522

I've done a Mercury Redstone mission realtime ... lol.

I haven't. But here's a thought about non-perishable food to add to the realism! (url): http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=147964

I have not read this entire thread so this may have already been discussed. Is there, or has anyone had the idea of creating for Orbiter an add-on that's a Zond circumlunar flight with the Proton launch vehicle? Just imagine going where no human ever went before, a double reentry back to Earth!

Thank you everybody for your replies. I can't believe that when JFK committed America in 1961 to going to the Moon that decade, it was only seven years until Apollo 7 (1968) was launched, wheres President Bush announcing the Crew Exploration Vehicle in 2004 will take a minimum of ten years...

Hi all, I'm watching the coverage thinking to myself: after the shuttle is retired; will missions like the current Hubble mission be possible? I know the next US vehicle is going to be the Crew Exploration Vehicle, which doesn't sound suited for such a mission. I know there's likely other...

Virgin to commercialize suborbital space travel between Australia and UK? http://ibtimes.com.au/articles/20090512/australia-underhours-via-space-travel.htm

Thanks. I was running it with the Samsung as the primary monitor, and the laptop display was the secondary monitor. So next time I'll try disabling the laptop's monitor altogether and try that. I was also thinking since I was running it in full screen mode whether to try as a "Window"...
