Installation Can't get Orbiter to launch

[Schwieger]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and to the Orbiter Sim... I was wondering how to get it to work, I've installed something called Orbiter_ng but I can't get the actual game to start when I click the Launch Orbiter button. Can someone help here? Thanks

You have to download Base package from here:

http://orbithangar.com/orbiter.php

and launch orbiter.exe file.
Orbiter_ng - is for 'no graphics', useless for you.


P.S. In fact, Orbiter is not exactly a game, though you can use it like that if you want

I know what you mean; I feel that way about Silent Hunter 3

'Playing' Orbiter will make you feel like on a physical science lesson (well, maybe quite interactive one). If you will like it - welcome here!:tiphat:

Well, even when I'm trying to be as realistic as possible, it's still really fun, so I'd consider Orbiter a game in my book! :lol:

Anyway, welcome to the forums! Always good to see new people around here.
