Greetings orbiters! I presented my Orbital Rendezvous Experiment for my school's science fair that I had been working on for the past few months. It got me 1st place in Physics at my regional science fair! Thank you to those that helped!

Greetings, Orbiters! I would love to have a scale model of the XR2 Ravenstar in my room, as it is beautiful and inspiring. Does anyone know how I can get an STL File (with permission from Mr. Beachy, of course)? I found this thread but I don't know much...

Greetings Orbiters! I want to collect data from Orbitersim and extrapolate it into a graph that I can put on my poster board for my science fair. Does anyone know how I can make a plot of distance/altitude difference between a vessel and the ISS in orbit over time? It would be really helpful...

Greetings Orbiters! I am using Orbiter for my High-School's Science Fair. I will be comparing various rendezvous methods of an XR-2 Ravenstar to the ISS. These include Direct Hohmann Transfer from 200km circular Parking Orbit, Launching into the target orbit then tangentially raising/lowering...

Hello friends. It has been a long time since I last posted. Now I have started 11th grade in the IB Diploma Programme. For my Physics Internal Assessment and the 4000 word, interdisciplinary extended-essay, I was wondering if I could use Orbiter to conduct research and write papers about...

Is it possible to do a traditional, In-plane lunar transfer using IMFD? I know you can do a offplane lunar transfer. Or would that just be using the Map program and Delta-V Program? I understand the usefulness of off-plane lunar transfer, especially when you are launching from high lattitude...

Hello Everyone. I have decided to build a small simpit. I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick, and plan on getting a couple of monitors for mfds. I plan on using a table and cardboard/wood for the panels. I don't plan on getting switches, just mfds and speakers for the sounds. Does anyone...

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. I have been working on a lunar spaceport base, since I thought Brighton Beach was a bit too small. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work well in 2016, since it was made using 2010. Please do let me know how I can improve this base and make it look...

Some of them I don't even know how to use, some of them I don't even know what they do. I have a mod called "Tether MFD" that allows tethering of spacecraft, which is pretty cool and still works in 2016, even though it was meant for 2005. There is also random Guidance MFDs also. Clock MFD is...

So in Michael Jackson's tour "HIStory", he made this great entrance in his spaceship, which looks a bit like the Default PB shuttle in Orbiter. I was wondering if anyone could make a basic vessel similar to the PB, but using the model of Michael Jackson's spaceship. There is a black canopy...

Hi Everyone. I noticed that in @dgatsoulis 's videos, he had a custom font for the hud and mfds. Is there a way to set it like that? Here is the video for reference. Thanks, Krishnan

Hello Everyone! How did you discover and start playing Orbiter Space Flight Simulator? My story goes like this. I was watching a youtube video where the Youtuber Swiss001 builds his own aircraft and tries flying them. Instead of doing my work, I procrastinated and decided to give the game a...

Hello Everyone. I am just wondering if there is some kind of mod that adds an updated ISS with the current modules. I tried the Donamy and Thorton ISS mod, but it runs really slowly on my computer, even with low-res mode. Is there some kind of "all one craft" ISS mod instead of pieces, like in...

Hey y'all! So Wideawake International's runways are bent if I enable terrain, and the entire spaceport sits on the water when I am using D3D9. Someone said that I should get a mod called Ascension 2016 L18 that should fix the terrain, will that help? Also, I am kinda confused because...

Hey y'all. I was just wondering if there is an addon that adds ground service vehicles. I just thought it would be an extra layer of fun and realism. I remember seeing ground service vehicles in OH, I can't find them however. Also, on an youtube channel here https://www.youtube.com/user/1T2E3D4...

Hey y'all! So I have been learning IMFD, as you all know, and today I tried getting back from the moon for the first time! I am all aligned up with Wideawake and ready to reenter, but I either do some kind of flat-spin into the earth, or bounce off and escape the solar system, as if time warp is...

Hey y'all. I would like some help to use Rendezvous MFD. I tried reading the txt file that comes with it, and tried the scenario, but I am still having trouble using the MFD. I am in a XR2 45 degrees behind Mir in a 200km by 200km Orbit. After catching up with Mir and doing a hohmann transfer...

Hey y'all. So in Wolfenstein: The New Order, the player gets to take a ride to the Nazi Lunar Base via a so-called "Lunar Shuttle". It can go directly from surface of the Earth into LEO, perform the TLI and LOI burns, and land, without the need of stages or anything. There is a cargo version and...

Hey y'all. I really like XRSound, but I decided to install Orbitersound 5.0. They are both really good, and I like to use some features of each. Is there a way to use both of them? I would like to fly XR vessels with it also, soo. I tried installing Soundbridge but it didn't play OS effects nor...

Is it possible to run Doom on a XR5 Vanguard Navigation Flight Computer as a separate MFD Program? Could be useful on journeys to the moon, but I don't want the company people to find out about it.
