General Question Orbiter installation manual & addon management tools?

[Jaakko]

About this Orbiter game. Is there any installation manual /program for it? Is there any addon management tools available?

 

[Lucy]

The manual is included in the packaged files within the "Doc" folder. It's called "Orbiter.pdf" - however, there are no install instructions per se, because it doesn't need to be installed. Simply unpack the files and play!

As for addon management, I recommend JSGME, which can be found with all good search engines. It seems to work fine with Orbiter for me and gets the job done nicely.

Thanks for the advice.

I have also noticed that in the utilities section are many useful diagnostic/helper/setup tools. These are must to use.

One question more: Are 2006 addons compatible with orbiter 2010? Because I have LOADS of 2006 addons.

Some are, some aren't. The XR series vessels are available for the latest Orbiter 2010P1. Get them at Doug's Orbiter site (check the quicklinks).

There's a sticky thread somewhere about "Add-on compatibility for Orbiter 2010.

If you use JSGME, it's easy enough to try a vessel and see if it works.

The sticky thread with addons working in ORBITER 2010 Tommy mentioned above is actually an Article which you can find at the following link:

http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=16177

Additionally you can find a list of recommended addons for both versions of Orbiter HERE. Last but not least, you can find install instructions in the Orbiter FAQ.

You just extract them to the main orbiter folder. You do not put them in a specific folder.
