Hi, When I open the 'Help System Window' using Alt+F1 or the F4 key, the window opens but I can't seem to access any of the items in the menu. The left hand half of the window appears to only partially load while nothing appears in the right hand window. Could it be that the Help System didn't...

Thank you; I'm amazed! Is it really that un-complicated to do? I just took a quick look at the description of the scenery editor in the Orbiter Tutorial. And see I can download a more in depth scenery editor.pdf :tiphat: Wonderful! Bob

Hello, I've done a wide search on the forum for a tutorial or other advice on how to build a simple scenario, no luck? So here goes; can you take as an example; the descriptive lines of the <DG and DG-S.scn> that comes with <orbiter100830> where it describes the deltaglider, i.e...

Thank you; looks like a useful list and I see a few interesting add-ons there, i.e. especially the one, 'Launch-MFD' (I think?). Bob

Hi, I've found what looks like a great training guide, i.e. "T3G - Trev's Training Tutorial Guide", but its from a 2002 Orbiter version. Will it work in this current 2010-P1 Version; if not can you recommend a training guide along the same lines, i.e. I like the user friendly idea of 'T3G', with...

Hi all, I'm finding that when I'm composing a post, (maybe taking 5 to 7 minutes), of none activity in forum. The Forum drops me; what I mean is that when I've finished writing and go to the submit button I find I've been dumped. I have to re-submit my name and password. In the mean time I've...

My text default text is too faint! Hi, I think I've sorted out what the problem is? The “Quick style chooser”, on my Forum Page, says “ -- -- OF Default ” And yes, my text is quite a ‘faint grey black’ I have to say! So what to do: ?Not use the default setting, I guess? What style do you...

Dark grey text? Sorry, didn't touch any setting? Everything as far as I know is as it was when I joined Orbiter, in their default modes. Bob Anyway thank you for all your help!

Installation of 'Textures Files' into Orbiter-2010 Hi there, On the Orbiter Web Site main download page below the 3-Base Install (packages), there are 15 Textures (Planet and Moon Files), plus 8 LandSat Textures (P and M Files) on another page. Here’s a link...

Hello all, Just now installed Orbiter_2010 looks great! I've checked the forum pretty thoroughly but can't find any information or Tutorials on adding all those texture files of Planets and Moons that are in the Orbiter Basic Package. Now I'm sure this is kindergarden level for most, but I'm...

Sorry my answer got chopped! The craft I was experimented with is the add-on 2001 Discovery. Which does not appear to have any MFD's. thank you

Thank You I'll get there!! It is all very new. R. ---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ---------- I thought I would experiment with the above add-on spacecraft. Then I discovered it has no (controls) i.e 'MFD's', so I started to search the forum...

MFDs Yes, unfortunately I'm hung up on looking at Orbiter through my experience on flight sim, sorry. So to re-phrase my question: Do I look for MFD/IMFD's in add-on spacecraft or do I download and then install separately these MFD's flight aids into Orbit. Thanks, R

Hi; I did a thorough search as the forum requests putting my question in every conceivable way that I could think of, and I came up with nothing. So I'm wondering if there actually are no flight control panels with add-on spacecrafts? If this is the case how do you calculate for; distance...

Thank You! Just came across it! some pages further on. Lots to absorb!! Thanks for your kind feedback!! Robert
