Satellites & Asteroids ?

[diggercam88]

Ok, im REALLY new to the Orbiter Sim (only a few weeks) and have downloaded most of the Add-on's like Apollo, DGIV, textures and meshes. My question is when I get out of earth orbit are there satellites and space stations floating in space or do I have to add them?

most of the time you will have to add them yourself via the scenario editer

ISS and MIR are up there by the defualt scenarios.

When you create scenarios, every object can be added manually if you edit the scenario with notepad.
or you could use the built-in scenario editor.

:speakcool: So all I have to do is add the Stations and Asteroids and such to the orbiter main folder and add them thru the scenario editor! I hope I know what im doing!

Don't worry, the worst you can do is crash, or burn up on reentry. :lol:

Please note that many vessels can't be added via the scenario editor. Spacecraft.dll vessels for instance.
Once you added them via editing the scenario file you can use the scenario editor on them like any other vessel.
I suspect this to be in ar81's tutorial, but I just wanted to make sure you know to prevent you from troubleshooting this known issue.
