General Question Making Simulation

[jupiterjoe51]

Hey,

I just got Orbiter a few days ago and I want to make simulations using screen records. My very noob question is: Can I make simulations without controlling the spacecraft? Can it fly by itself so I can just focus on the camera angles and the screen recording?

Thanks

Take a look at Artlav's UAP. It does take some effort on your part to program the autopilot to do what you want, but for many tasks it works wonders (watch the demos, they are pretty cool).

Or you could use orbiters in built record system. when in sim press f4 and hit record, pick a name and press record. now when your done or go back there and press stop, it will be saved as a scenario in the playback folder. when you launch this scenario Orbiter will enter playback mode. you will be in (almost) complete control of the camera but all the actions you made while recording will be replicated.
