What are your "essential" addons for a new Orbiter installation?

orbiter sound

:hesaid:

 

[Izack]

Orbitersound, IMFD, Videnie, ScreenCapture, AutoRudder, UCGO, Velcro Rockets, and maybe a few pretty planet textures. There are also a few tweaks to be made to the keymap and other things to make it playable. Finally, the folder it's installed in needs a silly name.

 

[Scruce]

Added a Poll.

 

[Rtyh-12]

Quite a lot of add-ons, the list changes as my types of Orbiter fun change.

Also Izack, can you give us an example of a silly name? Please?

 

[Scruce]

Seems everybody loves being able to hear.

 

[n72.75]

IMFD, in addition to those above.

XR fleet
IMFD
Aerobrake MFD
Launch MFD
BaseSync
Wideawake Int.
Energy Project

 

[Scruce]

XR fleet

Forgot to add that. :facepalm:

Also Izack, can you give us an example of a silly name? Please?

My directory's name isn't silly - just short. I call it "1". It lives in a folder called "ORBITER" where I also store all the addon zips.

It makes addon installation easy - just delete "ORBITER" from the unzip directory and add "1".

:compbash2:

As for addons, hmmm... For a NEW installation, I guess you mean for a person new to Orbiter?
In that case, I'd say the DGIV and UCGO/UMMU are essential, as they can guide you into the fun but heavy orbital mechanics that Orbiter is really about.

I would have to say NAASP due to its realism.

Only NASSP? Nothing else?

To me the only essential addons are UMMU, OrbiterSound, and hi-res planets, Not included on your list is "IMFD". I include these automatically with any installation.

From there its just an issue of "What do I feel like flying?" I have 2 installations on my computer one is strictly historical with Shuttle Fleet, AMSO, etc. The other I is my "Fun" installation with Wideawake, DGIV, XR fleet, and bases scattered throughout the solar system.

Well that would be the first thing i would install.

Forgot to add that. :facepalm:

How could you miss that? :lol: The poll is not complete without the XR fleet, the best (non-fictional) spacecraft addon IMHO!!

 

[Tniffoc]

I would definitely include IMFD, and maybe LunarTransfer MFD in my base install. That's probably because I find interplanetary flights to be much more interesting then repeated docking maneuvers. First time I did KSC->Moon->Wheel Dock was pretty fun though.

 

[Robsoie]

Essential addons for me :
Base Sync MFD
[ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2139]Aerobrake MFD[/ame]
XR-1, XR-2, XR-5
Orbiter Sound
Universal Mmu 2.0
Earth L11 L14
Planet & Moons

Not as "essential", but addons that i see so much as "standard" that they will always be a part of a default Orbiter install for me :


UCGO
Deltaglider-IV
[ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4457]ISS with Universal MMu and UCGO[/ame]
[ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3666]Wideawake International[/ame]
[ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2739]LUNA-O1B replacement[/ame]

Err, non-fictional? As in, real? When did we start producing XR2s?! :lol:
